Starfleet vessels are spacecraft used by the United Federation of Planets in the Star Trek universe. They are designed for exploration, scientific research, and defense. These ships vary in size and function, from small shuttlecraft to large starships like the USS Enterprise. Each vessel is equipped with advanced technology, including warp drives for faster-than-light travel and transporters for moving personnel and cargo. Starfleet vessels are typically crewed by a diverse team of officers and specialists, each trained in various fields such as engineering, science, and medical care. The ships often feature a bridge for command operations, living quarters for the crew, and laboratories for research. Their missions often involve diplomacy, exploration of new worlds, and maintaining peace in the galaxy.
