A Starfleet class of the early 25th century that resembles the Galaxy class with a larger engineering hull, seen in the fleets of the second and third seasons of Star Trek: Picard.
The Ross class recalls the Galaxy class in its broad oval saucer and overall shape, but has a deeper secondary hull, a very large deflector and parts in the style of later designs such as the Sovereign class. The design originated in the game Star Trek Online before being used on television.
Ross-class ships are part of the fleet that joins the Stargazer at the Borg anomaly in The Star Gazer. In the third season they take part in the Frontier Day review and are caught up with the rest of the fleet when the Borg seize control in Vox, then left adrift over Earth once the signal is broken in The Last Generation. None of the ships of the class plays a named role in the story.
