The oldest vessel design still in active production by Starfleet, the Miranda-class Cruiser owes its longevity to two factors. Th first is that it’s quick and easy to produce. It consists primarily of a saucer section with a small Engineering section attached to it aft and two nacelles attached to Engineering by short, aft-angled ventral nacelles.

The second is its adaptability. While most Miranda-class vessels are tasked with scientific or exploratory duties (it was, in fact, the first ship launched as part of the Exploratory Vessel Initiative), the ship’s design makes the swapping of systems or installation of uprating packages a simple matter.

Thanks to the ship’s versatility, it sometimes seems as if no two Miranda-class Cruisers are alike! The basic model includes a large aft “rollbar” (sometimes with a central pod) across the top of the ship but some versions lack this, or incorporate other changes. One version of the ship is so different that it’s sometimes referred to as a separate class (the Soyuz-class Cruiser; withdrawn from production in 2/23)
