 In the year 2369, Starfleet charged Utopia Planitia Shipyards and Avalon Shipyards to design and/or modify a vessel with both strong exploratory and defensive powers while the Sovereign project was still under development. Avalon began design and construction of what would later be called the Keltoi class of vessels, whereas Utopia Planitia built off of the existing Galaxy class Star frame.
 The aging Galaxy class ships were due to be retired as a ship of the line, but the Enterprise-D with its long service history was refitted with modern weaponry, defenses, and engines, at the behest of Admiral Riker. The Galaxy refit classes most prominent feature is the third nacelle on the secondary hull, this along with the improved engine designs allow the ship to reach speeds in excess of warp 13, or warp 9.993 on the mid 24th century scale. The Galaxy Refit class also features a heavy beam cannon on the underside of the saucer section, this cannon is capable of piercing enemy shields and hulls with one blast. Along with the main cannon, sixteen new phaser arrays have been installed on the ship. The class may also have other upgraded system though no information exists on them.
-The result was the Galaxy Class "Dreadnaught," a refit version with an upgraded power source, one more warp nacelle for warp stability and serious upgrades to her weapons array. She has the same sensor capability as the standard Galaxy Class, but her weapons and defenses have nearly doubled in power and striking ability.
+The Galaxy Class is fitted with three dorsal Phaser arrays on the primary hull, one primary dorsal array extending three hundred forty degrees and two point defense arrays to either side of Shuttlebay 1. The arrays cover the entire semi-sphere above the ship, except for a few blind spots close to the hull and Shuttlebay. There are also two Phaser strip arrays which give a total of three hundred and forty eight degree coverage.

	In fleet actions they acted in support of the larger ships, acting as outer pickets to the fleet. Some vessels were refitted as ammunition ships, using their extra cargo space to carry photon torpedo reloads and Phaser components. Others were converted to tankers, carrying supplies of Deuterium and Antimatter. A group of sixty ships was fitted with modern extra sensor pods and used in the electronic intelligence role. Their ability to look after themselves during a battle made them an excellent choice for these roles.

	The NX Class relies on polarized hull plating to protect itself against enemy weapons. When the hull plating is down, the ship is vulnerable to attack. This defensive system was upgraded by Starfleet during the NX-01's refit following the Xindi attack on Earth. As for offensive capabilities, the ship is equipped with spatial torpedoes which are launched from torpedo bays. While in-flight, the NX Class crew completed three prototypes of a phase cannon, a phase-modulated energy weapon rated for a maximum power output of 500 gigajoules. The phase cannons are deployed with retractable turrets that extend from the hull and fire energy beams at their targets. ~~Upgrades to~~ the torpedoes ~~were also made~~ NX Class is also equipped with a "grappler," which consists of two large magnets deployed by extremely long tethers.
