The ''Nova'' class is a type of [[Federation]] [[starship]] in service in the late 24th century. It is designed primarily as a science and scout vessel, used for long-term research and analysis after a region has been surveyed by larger explorer-type vessels.

One unique feature of the ''Nova'' is its [[Waverider class|Waverider]] shuttle, which is located in a special docking port on the dorsal side of the primary hull, similar to that of the [[Aerowing class|Aerowing]] on the [[Intrepid class]].

As science vessels, ''Nova'' class ships have the ability to land on planetary surfaces with four [[Landing Strut|landing strut]]s in the secondary hull. To further accommodate ease of research, ''Nova'' class ships are designed to enter planetary atmospheres for long periods of time.

==History==
The design that would eventually become the ''Nova''-class began---strangely enough---as the pathfinder model for a vessel meant to help counter the growing [[Borg]] threat of the 2360s. Orginally, the ship was to be a fast attack torpedo platform with as many as six torpedo launchers. When the [[Advanced Starship Design Bureau]] decided to radically redesign the vessel in response to changing Borg tactics (in favor of what became the [[Defiant class]]), the original prototype was temporarily shelved at the [[Antares Fleet Yards]]. However, it was soon discovered that experimental vessel NXP-2365WP/T had many merits and [[Starfleet]] concluded that the new ''Nova''-class would be the long-awaited successor to the venerable [[Oberth class]] survey ships.

The namesake of the class was launched in 2368 and offically commissioned in 2370.
