History:
In 2377 Starfleet Command requested Starfleet Engineering to come up with plans for a starship capable of surpassing the Sovereign class in tactical ability with enough shuttlebay sapce to carry a squadron of fighters during wartime.
In 2379 the final plans for the newly proposed Midway Project were approved and the first Midway class, the USS Midway began construction at the Utopia Planitia construction yards at Mars . Several improvements not included in previous classes were included. The ship was designed on the very reliable Akira and Sovereign class frames.
She was designed to be fully slipstream capable, a technology only just been modified to suit starfleet vessels and is equipped with two salvaged Borg transwarp coils for emergency situations. She is also the first starship equipped with the highly experimental and untested Translocation Drive, a drive capable of being faster than Slipstream and Transwarp due to being based on a mixture of Slipstream and Transporter tchnology.
She is also equipped with over 3000 torpedoes of various types and yields and the latest in Phaser technology. Her defences were also the latest out of R&D, including 500mm thick armour as well as the Ablative Shield Generator technology which covers the entire vessel.
The ship had many set backs due to the new untested technologies being used in the Midways design as well as a terrorist attack destroying almost half the ship in 2382. Security was tightened after the attack and construction was continued.
The USS Midway NX-87073 rolled out of the Utopia Planitia Shipyards on December 28th 2386 and was sent straight to the frontlines in the Reman War under the command of Captain John Majest.
The USS Peacemaker the second Midway class began construction in 2387 but would not be launched till 2392.
