DTS Resources

On this page, we provide a number of useful resources that can help you work with the Department of Technical Services. These include some of our basic information and often-used materials. If you think we should add something else, don’t hesitate to contact the DTS Director!

Here are several files which can help you in doing research for starship names, classes, and registries. They have some of the biggest listings of ship names and types compiled anywhere, including over 4,000 hulls!

All the ships and classes on the listings here are pre-approved for use by STARFLEET chapters. That means if you pick a name/NCC combination or a class from the lists in these files, it will all-but-automatically get the stamp of approval. It's always faster to choose a pre-approved ship or ship type than it is to propose a new one, although the design-process can be a lot of fun, as well.

Now, on to the good stuff. Note: These files are all in Adobe Acrobat format (.pdf)

Known Federation Starship Classes
For a list of classes of starships in the Star Trek Universe, ranging from the 22nd Century through post-"Nemesis":

Ship Classes in Starfleet
For more information on various ship classes, hop over to the OTI section of this site and visit the Starship Data Archive. (NOTE: The Data Archive is a work-in-progress! If you don't find a data file for a class in which you’re interested, contact the Director of the Office of Technical Information.)

Starship Classification Codes
These two- or three-letter codes are used in conjunction with the ship's registry number to provide a "shorthand" to see what kind of ship is being talked about. For example: CH 1701 Enterprise is the heavy cruiser U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701 (The usage is a lot like the way the U.S. Navy does it in reality.)

Starships in Starfleet
The next two files contain lists of the fictionally-established Starfleet ships in the Star Trek Universe. The files provide this information in two ways, alphabetically and by registry/NCC number. (In the numeric file, if a range of NCCs is known, but not every ship-name in that class is identified, this is indicated. Such "unnamed ranges" would be excellent places for prospective STARFLEET chapters to "fill in" a class.)

These lists are updated periodically, as new information becomes available.
