The '''''Theseus''-class''' starship was introduced by the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] [[Starfleet]] in the late [[memoryalpha:24th century|24th century]]. It was intended as a standardized successor to the existing small patrol and escort classes.

==History==
As [[Starfleet]] began taking inventory of their position following the [[memoryalpha:Dominion War|Dominion War]], they soon realized they had a problem when it came to small patrol and escort vessels, namely that there were four relatively recent designs all aiming to cover the same mission profile. The [[memoryalpha:Starfleet Corps of Engineers|Starfleet Corps of Engineers]] was ordered to come up with a solution that would standardize the fleet, an need which became even more urgent following the [[memoryalpha:Attack on Mars|Attack on Mars]] in 2385.

Project Theseus began that same year. Inspired by several of the early [[Defiant class|''Defiant'']] pathfinder designs, the engineers came up with a small, conventional hull. The latest in ablative armor technology and more robust shielding systems increased durability considerably. Designers also borrowed heavily from the concurrent [[Inquiry class|''Inquiry''-class]] project including highly tuned propulsion systems, advanced sensors, and the latest phaser and rapid-fire torpedo technology. This meant that, like the ''Inquiry''-class, the ''Theseus'' would be able to hold its own against other ships that were much larger.

Alongside these tactical developments, however, engineers made sure to include the necessary creature comforts. Years of field reports from existing [[Defiant class|''Defiant'']], [[Sabre class|''Sabre'']], [[Sentinel class|''Sentinel'']], and [[Diligent class|''Diligent''-class]] vessels made it clear the original spartan accommodations would not be enough. And so, crew quarters, common areas, and recreational facilities were enhanced where possible to improve crew well-being and overall performance.

The ''USS Theseus'' was launched in 2390 and, following successful space trials, commissioned for active duty. Additional vessels have been requisitioned and construction begun. Completed vessels are slated to be deployed first to installations as replacement for existing ''Defiant'' and ''Diligent''-class support craft before being expanded to other assignments.
