Nova Class

Designed for short-range, limited duration missions of a research-oriented nature, the Nova Class starship has proven itself a useful instrument in furthering Starfleet's mission of scientific discovery. Planetary and/or system surveys of brief duration, weeks or months - in interior sectors of the Federation - comprise the primary mission profile for this ship. Generally, after the larger starships have passed through a given sector, smaller vessels like the Nova class follow, doing extensive and in-depth research and analysis.
