sto is new cannon.

I have...at least one of the variants of this ship in ST:O. Got it as the reward for the first ever event I completed while playing the game. It now serves as the Tier 6 ship for my main character on my account, who I complete events with and such. I really love the appearance of the vessel. It's a very sleek design, that gives a fast attack ship vibe. And being a battlecruiser means I've got a ship that takes a bit more of a beating then some of the escort and pilot vessels my other characters use, but can move better and hit harder then the cruisers other characters have. While I certainly have other ships I really like, I'll always come back to my USS Constellation.

I just realized while thinking of the Disco era ships in Pic S1 that they kinda make sense. Those ships are only meant to be evacuation vessel's nothing more, nothing less. We are never told the exact number of ships lost in the Dominion War or even the Battle of Sector 001 for that matter. I could see Picard and La Forge issuing orders to pull older ships out of moth ball yards to build up the evacuation fleet for Romulus and honestly I think its the only way that the rest of Starfleet and the UFP would agree to help the Romulans, send old out of date ships that are being put back in service by the synths on Mars so resources and man power isn't being taken away from rebuilding the actual fleet and attempting to get it back to pre Dominion War numbers.

During the Viet Nam War, some stupid US talking head said: "The village had to be destroyed in order to save it."

This is my favorite ship. Used to love the Avenger series, but holy hell after I got the MW Gagarin...oh boy. I hardly fly any other ship. Just the layout for everything, speed, tankiness.

Great vid! The Gagarin is one of the few ships that can give the Vesta a run for its money in terms of my favorite 24th/25th century designs. And agreed, using the Yard 39 story in the 2390s would solve a lot of problems.

I remember watching an interview where the Picard team was trying to think of ships for that fleet and someone randomly mentioned STO. If i remember correctly, apparently most of the Picard team had no idea that such awesome designs existed in the game. How could they have missed such a treasure trove of already made ships?

This Gagarin-class looks badass.

Someday someone at paramount is going to figure out that well made models (Franklin Mint-ish) of all the different starships in cannon will create a Pokemon like craze in the Star Trek community. We'd all be like "Gotta get'er all!"

It reminds me of a precursor version of a Buran command dreadnought which is an absolute tank of a ship.

Great review. Beautiful ship & it's unique EPS grid sounds cool. 👍👍

The question I'd like answered the most is 'what is the Romulan Free State, and how does it differ from the Romulan Star Empire?' Also, 'where are the Remans?'

The Gagarin Class, my precious baby,,, I've been keeping a Mirror gagarin always on back-hand in STO for whenever i feel peculiarly flipped ;P

That's actually a pretty intimidating design.

Now to be fair. In beta Canon they are still building Miranda class ships even as late as the era prior to and during the Dominion War. The ships Sisko was posted to before his Tenure at DS9 had a Miranda built as it's replacement, and named after it as well.

Now that is a cool ship

Isn't it kinda funny that several hundred years in the future most of their classes and ships are named after things that fit into a specifically 20th and 21st century reference pool?

@Shapes_Quality_Control

I never thought of that. Funny but now I actually recall in the pilot episode of Discovery two ships whose names stand out to me. One being the U.S.S. Ta’Planahath (butchered the spelling) being named after a Vulcan philosopher, and the U.S.S. Shran which was clearly named after the 22nd century Andorian captain.

I also currently have the Gagarin Class as my main ship in STO. Its very very reliable. And yes it looks so sexy too. STD and Picard are great shows in their own ways and have seated themselves along side other Star Trek series in thr canon universe. Mind if I ask. What shield or skin were you using on your gagarin? The one with the clean illuminated lines?

I Love the Gagarin Class! it's such a Beast in combat! :D

They basically did what the Klingons have been doing forever now. Taking a old space frame, gutting it of antiquated components and filling it with modern components resulting basically a new ship class looking like the old. it saves money for Klingons (and film studios) and it shouldnt be surprising to see Starfleet finally doing the same.

I love the design of this ship.

In one "ST:TOG" story line, Cochrane disappeared after his Warp 1 was tested. The Captain's father? Grandfather? 5:49)I would say that the USS Gagarin (USS 97930) is an upgunned 2nd flight USS Shepard Class. 7:27)The USS Christopher (NCC 97936) was the 2nd launched. There had to some very difficult problems building the other 5 in between. Was the 36 named for the son of USAF Captain John Christopher?" ST:TOS" Sea. 1/Epi. 19 "Tomorrow Is Yesterday".

This ship just screams "I'm sneaking up on you!"

It's beautiful. The pylons for the nacelles are a little "Bi-planish". They remind me of Dervish, Hermes, Gryphon patrol units. Many thanx 👍👍

Finally! my main in STO

It would be interesting to heard what the writers think would be the differences between the Archer/Cochrane" Nacelle and the Eaves/Beyer Nacelle. I would imagine the Eaves/Beyer being much more durable and easier to repair. And despite the dearth of actual development, the Eaves/Beyer is not lacking for speed, top speed and probably acceleration. As vast and varied as the universe SHOULD be, that seemingly everyone uses Warp for FTL, and apparently uses the same type and configuration of Warp drive seems like some huge mass of [not thinking] on the part of the writers. This alternate version of the "classic" warp design, like "Radial Flux" versus "Axial Flux" Motors (feel free to look that up) is a welcome addition to the universe.

Really wish that you could have done an episode of the STO story with the Halloween mission...

I love this design

That ship CAN tank hits... i am just bad at choosing build for the ship (in game, this ship is "miracle worker" but my build was tetryon)

my current ship in Sto and its dam good

It's a graceful ship design. The Shepard is too but it has some bits that bug me. The Gagarin solves them. It's also one of the more powerful ships in the game imo. Better than the Vengeance.

Nice stuff. Are you going to do a class on the Duderstadt class. That to me is a multi role class according to a couple of sites I have seen. It would be interesting to get YOUR pov of that.

So when are you doing profiles on the other recovered Yard 39 ships? So far this is the only one of the group you've covered.

I have one Eaglemoss model...hard to find. Ended up having to but three because they kept coming with the Nacels broken, being so long and skinny

I forgive the Taxi shuttle because civilian use of obsolete military technology is very much a thing in line with Federation thinking. In the Shatnerverse for example the Enterprise A was given to a new member world as a system defence boat.

Well, most ship lore in old Trek was largely written for tech manuals (which is beta canon until an episode uses it), or simply not covered at all. It's extremely likely that none of these ships will ever get backstory that's canon, unless a story very specifically requires it.

Seems like a ship Lorca would captain.

That was the number of the original Sheppard class USS Gagarin that was destroyed early in season 1 of Discovery. All STO/Picard era Gagarin class ships have their numbers above NCC-97000.

I love the STO variety of ships that we dont get to see in the prime universe. I can keep the universes separate in my headcannon and appreciate that the TNG had fewer classes and even despite the Dominion war, the Federation stepped back to an exploration mission from the battle-fleets that makes STO games interesting. I can handle both variations of Trek, fulfilling their purpose in their different mediums. The ships in both universes are gorgeous.

Only if you're the lazy type. It takes less time and effort to take something that is already build redo it to where you can put in new technology than build it from scratch.

No matter STO is out of story lines anyway

100 years from now when you run out of topic ideas, you should do a timeline series to highlight all of the major points in the Star Trek timelines.

Sadly, the people answering directly to Klutzman (and writing Picard and STD specifically) don't seem to have the creativity or foresight to incorperate the Yard 39 storyline, the fact that they used a copy/paste fleet at all is proof of that. To be brutally honest, the concept for the Spore Drive in STD COULD have worked, story and lore wise, and certainly canon wise, IF STD had been set in the early/mid 25th century, instead of parralel to/pre-TOS, which would have avoided the canon-breaking introduction of Spock's fake sister (he never had one) and a literal _Jump Drive_ before Starfleet even started developing the excelcior class (there is also the issue of STD's writers forgetting how real world physics relating to sound and the vaccuum space work, but that's another whole barrel of fish). Hell, the concept of the Protostar only works because of where it sits in the Trek Timeline, if that had been set pre-TNG era, then it would have been just as much of a mess as STD.
