The Akira-class was first commissioned in 2365, and built at the Antares IV Fleet Yards and Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. The Akira is one of
Starfleet's most heavily armed starships, designed during the Cardassian war featuring a weapons pod located at the aft section of the ship
that is armed with torpedoes launchers and phasers. Akira-class ships have since become one of Starfleet's most active battleships, used
during both Borg and Dominion conflicts.
The Akira-class starship was designed by Alex Jaeger at Industrial Light & Magic. Named after the Japanese anime movie.
The names and registries of the Akira, Rabin, and Spector come from the Star Trek Fact Files. In Star Trek: The Magazine Jaeger claims the
Akira-class has 15 torpedo launchers. The Akira article also mentioned that the ship may be able to perform saucer separations.
