This is my initial concept for the Utopia Class - a Sovereign variant of the Challenger Class type up/down nacelle configuration.
This a variant which is also a possible design for the final Utopia prototype (USS Oceana). I'm not sure which one to go with, as yet.

Finalised a couple of years after its Sovereign older brother, Utopia Class was held back until the Dominion war concluded, so it didn't go into full production until about 2375. This Sovereign variant is akin to the New Orleans and Challenger Classes, for instance, being smaller variants of the Galaxy. Developed at Utopia Planitia, the Utopia was built alongside a kind of proto-Utopia, the Oceana, an earlier prototype sporting a different nacelle arrangement, but no further ships are planned to be built in this sub-class. From the officially commissioned prototype one further vessel in the Utopia Class has been completed.

KEY
| O= Operational |
| OR= Operational after Refit or Repairs |
| DD= In Drydock for repairs or refit * |
| T= Training Vessel |
| U= Under construction prior to preliminary trials |
| D= Destroyed |
| Sc= Scrapped or Decommissioned |
| PD= Presumed Destroyed |
| M= Missing |
*A ship would visit drydock for many reasons, including refits, repairs, servicing upgrades, preliminary trials and testing of new components, and spacedock for similar reasons, as well as crew rotation, reassignment, prep period before redeployment, and so forth.
As this class is only of my own speculation, all specs and stats appearing here are hypothetical. The explanations about this data, such as ship designations, weapons, offensive power etc, see Spec Definitions.
