History
The Mark V Constitution Class was a refit of the Mark IV refit produced in the 2280s and 2290s. It incorperated numerous advancements made in the 24th century and was increased insize to accomodate many of the advancements. The Mark V was concieved in the 2370s during the Dominion War as a method to bolster the fleet with advanced ships and create a vaible defense for the core worlds. A lot of the technology was derived from the Intrepid Class. The project was halted after the end of the Battle of Cardassia. The project wasn't revisited until May 6, 2383 during the Second Dominion War a few months before Operation Iwo Jima. The USS Enterprise-A was the only refitted Constitution Refit as Starfleet decided it was easier to just build the new ships rather than refitting them. The new ships were ready for Operation Iwo Jima. The Enterprise A was crippled during a recon mission by a Dominion Battlecruiser in the Itaria system. The USS Enterprise-E during Operation Norway. The Enterprise A was refitted with an upgraded M5 Computer and became the USS Enterprise-M5A. The Enterprise M5A quickly defeated numerous Dominion, Breen, and Sona vessels in the Gamma Quadrant. It eventually became a big threat to everyone after it glassed several worlds. destroyed several Federation ships and the Gamma 2 Outpost. It was eventually destroyed by Section 31. The class continues production and has become quite a common sight in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.
