Sovereign class starship

In the fictional universe of Star Trek, the Sovereign class of starships are the most advanced ships in Starfleet around the year 2373.

A Sovereign-class ship has 24 decks, and is equipped with Quantum Torpedos.

Only two Sovereign-class ships have ever been built:

The original USS Sovereign (NX-73811), prototype of its class and testbed for several new technologies like enhanced deflectors and shields; The program was considered a failure when it turned out that the availiable warp cores at that time were not powerful enough to suit the huge energy needs of the ship's systems.
The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E, commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard. In contrast to the USS Sovereign, this ship was equipped with conventional shields and deflectors. As of 2373, it is the flagship of the Starfleet.
