AT: "ar"

The Newton-type was a type of United Federation of Planets starship used by Starfleet in the mid-23rd century.

The Gizmotron models 1/2500 scale model kit names this ship type as the Federation strike cruiser. [1]

Specifications

A typical Newton-type starship had two active outboard nacelles placed above the centerline and two secondary hulls below. The secondary hulls were connected by swept pylons that connected to to the back of the primary hull when the impulse drive was located. The upper nacelles connected to the primary hull at the rear port and starboard quadrants and were connected together with a "rollbar" similar to the one on the Template:ShipClass in the prime reality.

The 1997 comic book The Fallen, Part Two features the USS Nelson at Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek works, a ship of the prime universe from the same era with similar hull configuration.

History

Several starships of this type participated in the pivotal Battle of Vulcan in 2258, one of which was the USS Newton. (Star Trek)

A year later, one of these starships was departing from Starbase 1, and another, NCC-0718, was docked at this space station, before the USS Enterprise proceeded on its mission to Qo'noS. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
