| NOTES |
| The Athena-class was developed in the late 2370s as a successor to the aging Norway-class. Like its predecessor, the Athena is a vessel geared more toward science and diplomacy, often used to host multi-party talks and science conferences on a reasonably large scale. Still, Starfleet made absolutely certain the vessel could hold its own in battle. During the Elorg war in the middle 2390s the Athena-class served with distinction, with the USS Athena serving as Admiral William Grayson's flagship. |
