Federation Other Ships Database - Provider Class

	History:
	In 2364, Lieutenant Commander Data viewed three classes of ships in his search of the files in the USS Enterprise-D library computer. It was not known for whom these classes operated for or represented. The general assumption was that these classes of ships were operational in the mid-24th century. This unnamed starship class was seen in a mission order by Data. TNG "Conspiracy" This class of ship originally appeared in the Spaceflight Chronology as a Federation Provider-class starship. This is its only appearance in the canon. The image is interesting for it appears that there are two Provider class starships joined together. Text from the Star Trek Wiki - Memory Alpha
