The Norway is a design developed to fill a hole in the Federation's line of battle. Many ships existed in the fleet to perform exploratory, research, and diplomatic missions, but few were available that had the speed, agility, and armament to act as a proper screening unit in large fleet engagements. The Norway filled this gap, equipped with a mix of short range anit-fighter weaponry and long range heavy weapon support. With average sensors and a reinforced shielding system, the Norway was a success. Despite this, few Norways have been built.

A First Contact ship, the Norway's armament was recommended by Matthew Bond. The ship is supposed to act as a faster, more maneuverable escort for the larger ships.
