Info: New Life class is extremely old, it was
first designed hundreds of years ago, however it has been upgraded multiple
times during its time in service. New
Life was the primary colony ship then and pretty much the only one as well.
New Lives were rarely destroyed or even damaged, because they hardly took place
in any battles. The size of the New Life has also changed during these few
hundred years, the ship's hull design is pretty much the only thing that's
left from the time it was designed. The ship remained as the primary colony
ship, and pretty much as the only ship used as a colony ship, as far as to
the Dominion war. Then it wasn't no longer so much used, however it still remained
as the primary colony ship. New Life is and was also used for transporting
equipment and/or people.

Info: Heretic was the new colony ship that was designed after the New Life, mostly
to replace them, but that never really happened however. Heretic was designed
after the Gorg war. At that time it was even used quite a lot, however when
Starfleet noticed that it wasn't really much of a use to have much any bigger
ship than the New Life, and the New Life had already been upgraded so a lot
and was very "modding friendly" ship. So the Heretics weren't anymore
used much. However in the Lightness war, Heretics were used a lot to evacuate
planets because of the small size and cargo space of New Life, Heretics, Mages
and Creators were the main evacuate ships. During the war, Lightness never
really targeted Heretics or any colony or transport ships that had civilian
population. After the Lightness war, Heretics once again pretty much lost their
place and were used only on sometimes, still they are used more than Mages.
Here's a picture of Heretic.
Mage Class Heavy Colony Ship
Engines: 16 heavy impulse engines.
FTL drive: Four jump drive MkII heavy
versions.

Size width: 20 km
Armor: Excellent capital ship armor.
Weapons: 32 light Incinerator Beams.
Shields: Energy shields 260 000
Special Equipment: None.
Fighters: None.
Max. crew: 90 000
Norm. crew: 390
Min. crew: 13
Cargo space: 5250 km³
Capable of landing to planet: Yes.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.
Reactors: Four large Antimatter reactors and four
large fusion reactors.
Info: Mage is the biggest colony ship in the Starfleet, only a little of these ships
are in service and they are used very rarely. Pretty much then if you want
to colonize a planet quickly or if you want to evacuate it fast. Mage was designed
to be an evacuation ship with the capabilities to colonize as well. Not many
Mages were built during the war, but all those that were, were used to evacuate
planets only. After the war Mages weren't used at all really, since the Starfleet
didn't really need any colony or transport ships of that size. Still Mages
are also used sometimes, but mostly just as a transport ship when you need
to transport a lot of equipment or people.
Creator Class Construct Ship

and/or advanced communications.

Norm. crew: 8 000
Min. crew: 20
Cargo space: 576 km³
Capable of landing to planet: Yes.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.
Reactors: Two Antimatter reactors and two large
fusion reactors.
Info: Creator class is mostly used as an equipment
transport, which usually goes with the colony ship. It carries the equipment
the new colony needs. Like mass
replicators. The new Creator class was designed a bit after the Gorg war, when
the old one proved to be too old and weak. Generator was the previous construction
ship. Only one Creator has been destroyed on their time in service and that
was in the Lightness war, when this Creator was carrying military equipment
from Ross 128 to 10 Tau, it had only small escorts and the Lightness was apparently
waiting for them in the 10 Tau where it was completely destroyed. All other
Creators, which usually carried civilian equipment or population were left
alone. Currently Creators are the only construction ships and continue to be
in the active service.
