The Kirov class dreadnaughts followed closely on the heels of the Dominion class ships once the improvements to the uprated Excelsior class cruisers proved successful. Many improvements were made in warp dynamics over the Dominion class' less streamlined profile. Notable to the design was the omission of the dorsal interconnect to keep the third nacelle closer to the vessel's centerline and the compensatory built-up superstructure aft of the saucer; and the widening of the main nacelle's span to better clear the larger impulse engines.
