Fleming class

The Fleming class was the first product of the Sirius Drive Project by Terran Orbital Construction. The Fleming Class was requested by the Allied Systems Federation ministries of Traffic and Trade, and Social Affairs. The goal of the class was to be a general workhorse for medical, scientific, and logistical duties for the citizenry of the Federation.

Due to its meager interior space compared to its engine complement, the Fleming was a very agile and quick ship, able to traverse the galaxy with good speed, often outrunning other civilian ships. The saucer section held plenty of space for living quarters, workspaces, cargo storage, and leisure facilities. With its Sirius Drive, ships of the class benefitted from generalised maintenance procedures in Federation and Republic space.

As such, ships of the class became a common sight. They were often used by private families as a nomadic space habitat; or medical professionals seeking to aid those in need; or traders and companies. A complement of these ships were also part of the Federations medical and logistical services.

Despite being a generally liked ship class, the Fleming had to compete heavily with other Sirius equipped ship classes, such as the Alexandria class or the Varanasi class. The Fleming had its speed and cheapness as its advantages in comparison to these other ship classes.
