The NX class Cruiser is often neglected by history, as the ships which
followed it into service gained fame in the Romulan War. The NX class
introduced the Matter/Antimatter powered drive system into service, however
experience with the class in operational situations, the cost of the drive
system and problems with mass production led the high command to decide to
revert to mature technology that fusion power represented for the next
designs to enter service.
