The Ambassador-class starship was a type of vessel in service to the Federation Starfleet during the mid- to late-24th century, with the last remaining vessels likely to be mothballed in the early 25th century.

History

The Ambassador-class was designed to be a replacement for the aging fleet of Excelsior-class and Constellation-class vessels which had been in service for over three decades, and to create a true front-line starship. Between 2325 and 2360, the Ambassador-class vessels were the primary capital ships of Starfleet. They have continued to play a significant role even after Starfleet stopped production of these ships in 2372 in favor of the larger, more resilient Galaxy-class starships.

The prototype of the class, the USS Ambassador, experienced its first test-bed trials at Helaspont Station near Tzenkethi space in 2319, supervised by Starfleet Admirals Los Tirasol Mentir and John Harriman, ostensibly as an intimidation-tactic against the volatile Tzenkethi Coalition. The prototype was launched in the early 2320s, and several other vessels were in service by 2324, including the USS Gandhi.

One of the most famous ships of the class was the USS Enterprise-C, the fourth starship to bear the name, which was launched in 2332 under the command of Captain Rachel Garrett. The Enterprise was destroyed in 2344 while responding to a distress call from a Klingon outpost on Narendra III. Upon arrival at the outpost they discovered that it was under attack by several Romulan warbirds. Despite the odds, the Enterprise put up a valiant fight and its act of sacrifice kick-started the peace process between the Federation and the Klingon Empire.

Although the Ambassador-class was five decades old by the 2370s, many ships of the class continued to be in service, albeit refitted with the latest technologies which could be found aboard the more up-to-date vessels such as the Galaxy-class explorers.
