The Nebula Class USS Amon-Re (NCC 42831-A) was commissioned in 2378 to replace the aging Excelsior class of the same name. In honor of her predecessor, this Amon-Re retained the previous Starfleet registry number with the added Alpha designation rather than a completely new registry. This was not widely practiced (First instituted with the USS Enterprise-A in 2286) but the exploits of Captain Starheavens and crew seemed to require such action. Though this Amon-Re has the Alpha designation, it is in fact the third starship to bear the name but only the second to carry the registry number NCC 42831.
The Nebula class first came into service in the early 2360′s, augmenting the slightly larger Galaxy class. It maintains the same primary hull (saucer) as the Galaxy but its secondary hull is more compact and without the distinctive ‘neck’. Its warp nacelles are also different as they hang down rather than being angled up. A unique feature of this class is the ‘mission pod’ attached to the aft of the dorsal hull. One version is enhanced sensors of which this Amon-Re has.
The Amon-Re is named after the ancient Egyptian god of sun (also known as Amon, Ammon, Amun, Amon-Ra and Ra) for whom the greatest temple ever built was constructed at al-karnak.
