| - The Antares class was a type ofstarship used by the Federation Starfleet during the 23rd and 24th century. The Antares filled a variety of roles within Starfleet such as a surveyor, cargo ship and transport. The class entered service with Starfleet in 2250 as a multipurpose science and research vessel. However, due to the large amounts of scientific equipment and samples it often carried and the fact several were used as transports it was often referred to as a "cargo ship". The Antares was widely decommissioned from service in 2300, though a number remained operational with civilian scientific organizations. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 4: Starships of the Original Series Era) One Antares, the USS Hermes, continued to serve in Starfleet well into the 2360s. (Star Trek Encyclopaedia)
- The Antares-class was a small, multi-purpose Federation starship in service during the 23rd and 24th centuries. Ships of this type were often classified as survey ships, transports, cargo ships, and science vessels. (TOS episode: "Charlie X"; SCE eBook: Where Time Stands Still) The Antares-class was constructed on a horizontal spaceframe with the standard two-nacelle configuration typically favored by the Federation. Jutting above and below the spaceframe were the ship's cargo holds, with the largest hold located below the hull. The forward living sections and bridge, with accommodation for twenty crewmembers, were located on the foremost position of the ship. (TOS episode: "Charlie X" remastered) The Antares-class was around tenth of the size of a Constitution-class heavy cruiser, but its design allowed the Antares much larger cargo holds than her Constitution counterparts. (TOS novelization: Charlie X; TAS episode: "More Tribbles, More Troubles") Some Antares-class vessels were converted into automated cargo drones which meant that the forward living sections were removed, as the absence of crew made these areas unnecessary. (TOS episode: "The Ultimate Computer" remastered; TAS episode: "More Tribbles, More Troubles") Although the Antares-class was largely deployed in the 23rd century, at least one member of the class, the USS Hermes, remained operational in the late 2360s.
