By the 2350s the Miranda Class was beginning to show its age. In 2357, the Norway Class Development Project was tasked by Operations to produce a vessel with the endurance and flexibility the Miranda's had demonstrated. The Norway Class is now in full production at Spacedock 1's vast orbital construction yard, putting out 15 new vessels a year. As of 2376, there are 105 ships of the class, filling the multi-rolled niche retiring Miranda Class vessels are leaving behind.
