Experimental prototype Starfleet vessel. The Prometheus, was designed for deep-space tactical assigments, the first starship of her class. The ship had regenerative shielding, ablative armor, and the ability to travel at warp 9.9, making it the fastest vessel in Starfleet. Holoemitters were installed throughout the ship, allowing the ship's holographic doctor, designated Emergency Medical Hologram-2, to operate in all crew areas. Prometheus was so specialized that only for people in all of Starfleet were trained to operate it. Perhaps the most innovative feature of the Prometheus was its ability to seperate into three independent spacecraft, allowing it to employ a multivector assault mode during acompat situations. During one of the ship's first test flight, a group of Romulans commandeered the starship, killing her Crew. While escaping Federation space, the Pomulans used the ship's multivector assault capability to enable them to elude by a Nebula-class Federation starship. Control of the ship was regained by the on-board Emergency Medical Hologram with assistance from the holographic Doctor from the Starship Voyager.

The prometheus was designed by Star Trek: Voyager senior illustrator Rick Sternbach and rendered as a computer-generated image by Foundation Imaging. The prometheus interis were designed by series production designer Richard James, using re-dressed portions of the re-created Starship Excelsior bridge that James had made for VOY "Flashback", as well as the Voyager sickbay in addition to new sets. Actor Tony Sears, who played the Prometheus officer killed by the Romulans, previously worked in the Star Trek: Voyager art department.The MSD had the registry NX-74913

History:
The Prometheus class was one of the most advanced starships fielded by Starfleet in the late 24th century. It was designed with an unprecedented level of automation, and, combined with its advanced tactical systems, was one of the most powerful combat ships in the Alpha Quadrant. The Prometheus was equipped with advanced phaser arrays, quantum torpedoes, regenerative shields, and ablative armor, and its warp engines were designed to outrun even the fastest starship of the Federation fleet. The Prometheus was so confidential that only 4 Starfleet officers were trained on how to operate the ship.
A unique feature included in the Prometheus design was the multi-vector assault mode, which allowed the ship to split into three semi-independent sections that could each deliver massive force against an enemy target. All three sections were warp-capable. Combined with the extensive automation, the Prometheus could be run by as few as four people.
In addition to standard automation systems, the design also featured holoemitters on every deck, which allowed the ship's Emergency Medical Hologram (Mark II) to access all areas of the ship. (Most EMHs were confined to sickbay only.)
The prototype vessel USS Prometheus was launched in 2374.
Vessels of the Prometheus class would be amongst the Federation fleet that engaged the forces of the Sphere Builders during the Battle of Procyon V in the 26th century. (ENT: "Azati Prime")
