Well since we are still getting the last Heavy Cruisers, Command Cruisers and Dreadnaughts ready I thought I would do something a little different this time around. Basically this poll is your favourite Federation cruisers, there are many cruisers I haven't included (map) but a few map cruisers I have. I also did something different with the images tis time around, feel free to use as wallapapers if you like.
Enjoy and I am looking forward to the winner.

- Federation Miranda Class
Light Cruiser
Mainstream light cruiser for the Federation, since her introduction into the fleet the Miranda has become widespread in her usage and deployment with vessels belonging to the Miranda class being spotted all over the Federation. While not as powerful or verstitle as the Constitution class, many say the Miranda class is a better all round cruiser and may someday replace the Constitution, this has so far not come to pass.
- Federation Phobos Class
Light Cruiser
One of the few Federation designs designed and built solely by the Andorians and the Andor shipyards, the Phobos is more a warship than an exploration ship and has the bare minimum of science labs and creature comforts. Historians from the late 24th century actually refer to the Phobos as the Defiant class' predcessor being the only fully deficiated warship aside from the Ulysses and Federation classes to enter service in the last 100 years.
- Federation Malcolm Class
Assault Cruiser
The only Federation assault cruiser in service, the Malcolm has set it's mark in the fleet and while rare due to not too many being built, has been in every major fleet engagement since her commissioning. The USS Atlantis one of the first Malcolm class vessels to be commissioned has become legendary for single handendling swarfing a sneak Romulan attack on Cetius III after the Gorn and Federation set up a joint colony together.
- Federation Constitution Class
HeavyCruiser
Thanks to the USS Enterprise under Captain James T Kirk, the Constitution has make it's mark in the history books as not only the most versitile starship to ever be constructed but the longest lasting to this date. As for today the Constitution is 60 years old and still going strong and while none of the original batch are in service anymore new vessels are being built. DEcomission of the class is expected in the next 15-20 years but so far Starfleet Command has held off on this until a class that can match the Constitution class in firepower, exploration and durability can be commissioned.
- Federation Constellation Class
HeavyCruiser
One of many Heavy Cruisers in Starfleet, the Constellation was designed as a replacement for the Constitution in the early 2380's. She was unable to meet the standards of the Constitution in the verstile and durability needs but in firepower and combat she excels and for this reason along the Constellation class has entered fleet service although in limited numbers.
