The Legendary Constitution class needs no real introduction. However the
class did not become the dominant force it later was until the introduction
of the Phaser equipped Mark 2. The earlier Mark 1 was lightly armed compared
to the best ships of the Klingon empire largely as a result of mass
constraints. As such the Mark 1 was incrementally upgraded as new technology
became available in an effort to make the class as capable as possible.
