After the Galaxy Class and Nebula Class projects had successfully completed the test phases of their respective design programs, Starfleet Medical came to the conclusion that the fleet lacked more specialized craft to respond to the large scale medical emergencies. The missions of both the Galaxy and Nebula would leave them exploring the frontier regions and unavailable for these sort of emergency situations as well. A design brief was issued for a craft that would duplicate the medical facilities of the Galaxy class vessels in a smaller, more mission specific platform, but also expand those level of facilities across the entire spaceframe. Designated the Olympic class, the ship would be able to deploy large scale medical services to respond to medical emergencies on site.
