Cryptic Studios held a neat little contest where users could submit their ideas of names for some of the Tier 5 starships to be available in Star Trek Online and they've just announced the winners. The winners each receive a Digital Deluxe Edition of the game and a poster featuring the ship they named.

Below are the images, information and new official names for three cool looking Federation starships unique to the universe of Star Trek Online.

EMISSARY CLASS

Emissary Class Star Cruisers are the most advanced Cruisers in Starfleet. Generally the largest, most resilient ships in Starfleet, they have massive warp cores, which generate surplus power for subsystems. And they have large crew complements, which improves repair rate and other crew abilities.

LENGTH: 724m | DRAFT: 90m | BEAM: 255m

DERVISH CLASS

Dervish Class Escorts are small, which means they don't have room for extensive engineering or science facilities. But, their weaponry, speed and maneuverability make them hard to hit threats in any engagement. The Dervish is arguably the toughest Escort in Starfleet.

LENGTH: 390m | DRAFT: 70m | BEAM: 306m

DESTINY CLASS

Science Vessels have the most advanced technology in Starfleet. Destiny Class vessels are larger than most Science Vessels. They can accommodate a larger crew and advanced engineering facilities to support the ship when on extended missions.

LENGTH: 554m | DRAFT: 98m | BEAM: 211m

Obviously, we at Game Rant would cruise in the Emissary Class. Had you entered the contest, what name would you give to one of these ships?
