The '''Sovereign''' class [[starship]] was introduced in the late 24th century. The vessel included some of [[Starfleet|Starfleet's]] most recent technological advances. The Sovereign project was one of the new defensive technologies initially intended for use against the [[Borg]] threat. The prototype USS ''Sovereign'' was still in the design phase during the [[Battle of Wolf 359]].

Heavily armed, the design philosophy for the Sovereign class was shaped by the discovery of the [[Borg]]. The project attempted to push the envelope as far as possible when it came to computer power, shields, armament and systems capabilities. The ''Sovereign'' class starship combined the creature comforts associated with the larger [[Galaxy class]] vessels with the tactical power of the new [[Prometheus class]].

The vessel included some of [[Starfleet|Starfleet's]] most recent technological advances. Primary amongst these was a large [[quantum torpedo]] launcher mounted forward of the [[navigational deflector]] above the [[Captain's Yacht - Sovereign class|captain's yacht]], which was capable of firing at least four rounds per second. Backup to the [[quantum torpedo|quantum torpedoes]] was provided by [[Burst-fire torpedo launcher|photon tubes]]; four of these were located at the base of the engineering section in pairs which face forward and aft. These launchers can fire up to 12 torpedoes at a time. The warp engines of the Sovereign were of a new design that eliminated subspace distortion effects inherent to standard warp drives without the use of variable geometry nacelles, as found on the [[Intrepid class]].

===Class history===
In 2372, the ''Sovereign'' class USS ''Enterprise-E'' was launched from drydock. At least one other, the class prototype USS ''Sovereign'', was in service.

One of the ''Sovereign'' class' first major engagements came in 2373, when the USS ''Enterprise-E'' saw action in the [[Borg]] incursion into [[Sector 001]] and was instrumental in the destruction of the attacking cube.

After the conclusion of the [[Dominion War]] and upon a change in leadership within the [[Romulan Star Empire]], the USS ''Enterprise-E'' was invited to [[Romulus]] by Praetor Shinzon to open negotiations. Things were not as they seemed, however, and in the ensuing [[Battle of the Bassen Rift|confrontation]], the ''Enterprise'' was severely damaged, including a major hull breach on the bridge, and rendered unable to stop the Scimitar, the new praetor's predatory flagship. As a last resort, Captain Jean Luc Picard ordered the ''Enterprise'' to ram the Scimitar, causing the destruction of much of the saucer section's forward area. The collision disabled the Scimitar but Shinzon, driven by vengeance, activated his deadly thalaron weapon and trained it on the ''Enterprise''. The weapon was later overloaded and the Scimitar destroyed due to interference from Commander Data, who sacrificed himself to save the ''Enterprise''. The ship then returned to [[Earth]] and was required to go through several weeks of extensive drydock repair.
