USS Glasgow (NCC-86571)

USS Glasgow

Parliament-class • NCC-86571 • Task Force 17

After ten years of production, the California-class design came up for review in 2377 to consider possible upgrades for future iterations of that class of utility cruiser. The class was noted for being slow but reliable, becoming one of the most successful (and ignored) starship designs of the 24th century. However, a need was seen to create a more advanced version that could handle more complex tasks and get to their assignments faster. A limited number of so-called “heavy” utility cruisers were ordered that would be primarily tasked with large-scale engineering projects but could also coordinate the efforts of other utility cruisers on general assignments.
