Olympic class starship

From TheBestLinks.com

In the Star Trek fictional universe, the Olympic class is a rarely seen starship used by Starfleet. They probably entered service during the 2350s in response to the growing Cardassian threat to the Federation and probably served during the Dominion War where twenty-five hospital ships were transferred to Romulan control in 2375. Olympic class hospital ships are unique for having a large ball-like sphere as a primary hull attached to the curved engineering section. One large shuttlebay is at the rear of the engineering hull, perhaps designed to accomodate runabouts. The sphere is covered with portholes, lifeboats and a blue rectangular navigational deflector. The warp nacelles are attached to the secondary hull by backward-angled, upward-curving pylons.

In real life, the Olympic class was designed by Bill George of Industrial Light and Magic for Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Known Olympic class starships

• USS Nobel (NCC-55012)
  • Named for Alfred Nobel, the starship Nobel was ordered by Admiral Marcus Holt of space station Deep Space Three to search for the missing USS Hera (NCC-62006) circa stardate 47215.5 in 2370.
• USS Olympic (Registry unknown)
  • The starship Olympic was the pathfinder of her class.
• USS Pasteur (NCC-58925)
  • Named for scientist Louis Pasteur, the starship Pasteur was commanded by Captain Beverly Picard sometime in 2395 in an alternate universe created by Q as part of a test of humanity. In that universe, the Pasteur carried Ambassador Jean-Luc Picard to the Devron system where she was attacked by two Negh'Var class battleships, causing a warp core breach; the crew and passengers were rescued by the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), flagship of Admiral William Riker.
