The Phoenix-class is a multi-mission heavy cruiser designed and built in a time when Starfleet's primary mission was that of defense and safe-guarding the lives of the United Federation of Planets. The design is an improvement on the older Sovereign-class ship, about two hundred meters longer, and with improved tactical abilities.
Still maintained under classified conditions, the Phoenix-class was also equipped with ablative generators, capable of encompassing the vessel in a nearly impenetrable layer of armor.
