Ship's History & Design Philosophy

The Sentinel-class was designed in the wake of the Dominion War and the destruction of Romulus. The lesson learned was that Starfleet needed explorers that could also operate as formidable defenders on potentially hostile frontiers.

The USS Vanguard was launched in 2399. The Vanguard is a symbol of Starfleet's new dual mandate: to seek out new life and civilizations, while standing ready to protect the Federation from any threat.
