History: The Braswell-Class was begun at Utopia Planitia, between the ASDB, and Admirals Blackjack, Williams, Nechayev, Connelly, and Cross, to take the (mainly exploratory) Galaxy-Class, and smooth out some details, degrading others, and add some 4Xe improvements, including an additional pair of warp nacelles, on pylons, none having Phaser Arrays, due to EPS, Room, and Link-Ups/Energizing/Coupling. The new Ship, using replicated, and two study secondary hull fragments put in storage after studies and a warp test in 2353, named after a 62-year-old head of Engineering Construction, Monica Braswell, went through three warp tests in Spring of 2373, the first shaky, with noticable defects, the other two adwquate. The ship underwent her shakedown cruiser with a skeleton crew of 112 on July 16th, 2373, then with a (Bare-Bones) crew of 230, was launched on August 1st, 2373, a 2nd ship completed three monthes later, and production beginning at Caravelia and Utopia Planitia at 4 per year.

Noteworthy Vessels/Service Records/Encounters: U.S.S Braswell; - Prototype, used for Ambush, Interception and Recon missions in the Dominion War (2373-2375), later led a task force of 25 ships to seek/locate/destroy Borg ground and space facilities with two Spheres, fifty Manned Probes, six Detecters, Two Harmonic Frigates and eight Pyramids (2376), participated in more battles against Borg, and fourteen Orions, Son'a, and Xepolites (2377-2380), reassigned to conduct five diplomatic contacts, one outpost evacuation (starfleet), and two Medical Relief missions, then exploring deep into the Beta Quadrant until decommissioning (2380-2403), U.S.S Kopelow; - destroyed on his third battle in the Dominion War, against a Dominion Supercarrier with an Excelsior and Sequoia (also destroyed) (2375), U.S.S Marlene; - Last of the Class to be decommissioned, at Vulcan-manned Starbase 65 (2476)
