Although designated as a science vessel the Quantum class was designed as the most heavily armed vessel of its size in Starfleet. Following the introduction of the Quantum particle (a unique power source) through illegal channels, Section31 pursued the development adding a twin navigational deflector to utilise wormhole technology to allow instantaneous travel deploying fleets of ships. The discovery of the stable, artificial Bajoran wormhole in 2369 led to new insights into the creation of navigable wormholes. However the success of the Intrepid class, and the threat of invasion from the Dominion forced Starfleet to put the design on hold for 3 years. The Quantum class starship was initially developed alongside the Intrepid class as a scientific exploration vessel.
