Promellian battle cruiser
The Promellian battle cruiser was a class of battle cruiser utilized by the Promellian military.

History 
The class of starship was built for many generations prior to the 14th century. While crude by 24th century Federation standards, when this design was built, Humans on Earth were just perfecting the mechanical clock and using steel crossbows in battle. 

Visiting a Promellian battle cruiser was always a dream of Jean-Luc Picard's, a dream he had held on to ever since he was a child, when he used to build model ships in bottles. 

In 2366, the derelict cruiser Cleponji was discovered by the , under Captain Picard, near the remains of Orelious IX. The vessel was immediately recognized on sight, and was considered a rare and magnificent find, as this particular ship design was one of legend among the crew of the Enterprise-D. () 

In 2401, a miniature Promellian battle cruiser displayed as a ship in a bottle was kept by Jean-Luc Picard in his library at Château Picard. ()

Technical data 

The Promellian battle cruiser was comparable in size to a  starship, and featured a swept-back wing design, with large module on the tail section. The forward section extended some ways from the primary hull, and contained a raised structure near the front of the forward most section of the ship.

The ship was provided with  by power pack, with propulsion provided by Lang Cycle fusion engines. Furthermore, the ship's life support provide oxygen for breathing. ()

Interior design

Main bridge 

The bridge design was considered to be well structured and sophisticated. 

Upon visiting the Cleponji in 2366, Picard's initial reaction to the bridge design was: "extraordinary." He further added that, "[y]ou would expect the bridge layout of this era to be clumsy, awkward... but look at this – it is a model of simplicity. Elegant, function. They built this craft for generations. And it worked." 

During the visit, Worf took tricorder images of the ship, and was indicated to take note of the ship's tactical display. ()

Communications room 

The communications room contained a communications station with a display screen, and data access through the use of memory coils. ()
