-The '''''Elkins''-type''' is a preliminary designation for a group of [[Federation]] [[starship]]s in use during the [[Dominion War]]. This type of vessel, [[starship classification|classified]] as a [[medium cruiser]], was constructed from a variety of hullforms, the central of which was an [[Intrepid class|''Intrepid''-class]] [[primary hull]]. The vessel's design also shared [[warp nacelles]] with a [[Miranda class|''Miranda''-class]] [[starship]] and nacelle pylons with the [[Danube class|''Danube''-class]] [[runabout]].  The body of the ''Elkins''-type, however was unique.

-: ''The ''Elkins''-type model was "[[kitbash]]ed" from the [[saucer section]] of a [[Revell-Monogram]] [[USS Voyager|USS ''Voyager'']] model, the body of an F-14 fighter jet model, warp pylons from an [[AMT/Ertl]] [[runabout]] model, and [[warp nacelles]] from an AMT/Ertl [[USS Reliant|USS ''Reliant'']] model.

-The "Elkins''-type was probably inspired by the [[Intrepid class#The Voyager_Prototype|The ''Voyager'' Prototype]] study model by [[Rick Sternbach]].  Many have confused the ''Elkins' due to their similar designs.
