[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] If I had to take a stab (shiv handy!), I'd opine that the [i]Sovereign[/i]-class might be a "rapid response explorer." When the [i]Galaxy[/i] was designed, it was postulated that the ships would be embarked on 5-, 10-, or possibly even 20-year deep-range exploration missions--thus their sizes & facilities. But what did they end up doing? Running around, back & forth across the Federation on various crisis missions & exploding. Obviously, there are situations that require a large modern vessel to handle the crisis du jour, but why tie up this huge assets? So we create the [i]Sovereign[/i], which has all of the same assets as the [i]Galaxy[/i] if not slightly more, but minus the extranea--the familes, the vast amounts of scientific facilites dedicated to the 11-level branches of things; who really needs a xeno-ornithology lab anyway? Now we have a ship that can do these emergency situation runs & not have to worry about putting so many & so much at risk. [/QB][/QUOTE]
