Massive-Class Starship

A Massive-Class Starship, or M-Class, is the United Federation's designation for any capital vessels operated by the Navy. Massive Class Starships range from dreadnoughts and up. To qualify for a M-Class designation, starships are required to have a crew compliment of at least 1,500, and require the defensive and offensive capacity to operate in warfare. To date, the Navy only operates a fleet of 9 Massive Class vessels, including one that was destroyed during an attack by NANHI. M-Class vessels typically operate as the flagships for a particular fleet, commanding over a grid of smaller cruisers and warships. Although they technically meet the requirements for M-Class designation, Ark-Class starships are not considered Massives due to their classified nature, as well as their mission to preserve the lives of Federation citizens. The Federation is the only government body that operates M-Class vessels.
