Cheyenne class starship - Definition and Overview

A Cheyenne class starship

The Cheyenne class is a group of starships used by the Starfleet organization in the Star Trek fictional universe. Cheyenne class ships are composed of a single hull, resembling that of the Galaxy class on a smaller scale; from this, two pylons resembling Galaxy class necks rise from the aft end of the saucer, one on the dorsal side and one on the ventral, each supporting a boomerang-shaped plane with a warp engine nacelle at each tip, for a total of four warp engines.
