7. Akira Class
Key Appearances: Star Trek: First Contact, Call to Arms, Tears of the Prophets, What You Leave Behind One of Starfleet's newest designs, the Akira class was one of the mainstays of the Federation defense during the Dominion War. Despite rarely appearing in any of the shows, the Akira-class made its mark as it might be the best looking ship in all of the Star Trek canon. With the classic saucer section seen in many of Starfleet'd designs but with the warp nacelles located in the back, the Akira-class is an interesting twist on a classic design and combining that with being one of Starfleet's newest and sleekest designs resulted in the Akira-class being one of the most awesome ships in Star Trek. The Akira-class was featured in ten episodes of Deep Space Nine but also appears in the background during the opening battle in Star Trek: First Contact.
