| Overview | |||||
The Akira-class was a class of Eastasia starship that was in service with Imperial Japanese Taiko Navy by the early 2370s. Southampton and NeoZion were the only sites this class was constructed at in 2371.
Akira-class starships were featured prominently in the Battle of Sector 001 and the Dominion War.
Several Akira-class ships were stationed near Deep Space 9 during the war.
As well, several were involved in most of the major battles of the war. In 2374, they saw action during Operation Return and the First Battle of Chin'toka, where at least one ship of the class was destroyed by an orbital weapon platform. In 2375, they were involved in the Second Battle of Chin'toka and the Battle of Cardassia.

Specifications
In official publishings by the design bureau involved, the responsible engineers stated that they created the Akira as a sort of "carrier/gunship," armed with 15 torpedo launchers. Visual inspection of the hull and design drawings show at least 11.
"This was my gunship/battlecruiser/aircraft carrier. It has 15 torpedo launchers and two shuttlebays - one in front, with three doors, and one in the back. I really got into it with this one, with the whole idea that the front bay would be the launching bay, and then to return they'd come into the back, because they'd be protected by the rest of the ship."
The Eastasian StarFleet Manual lists the ship's armament as being 6 Type-X phasers and 2 torpedo launchers.
According to the manual, the length of the Akira-class is precisely 464.43 meters.
