The '''''Ambassador'' class''' starship was a Starfleet heavy cruiser class launched in the mid 24th century.

The origins of the ''Ambassador'' class date back to the first half of the 24th century.  

One of the most notable ''Ambassador'' class ships was the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C). In 2344, while under the command of Captain Rachel Garrett, the ship responded to a distress call from a Klingon colony on Narendra III. Four Romulan warbirds had ambushed the colony.

The Enterprise responded to the attack, and despite being destroyed there, defended it long enough to impress the Klingon High Council.Hostilities ended almost immediately between the Klingon Empire and the United federation of Planets. A lasting peace agreement would not be reached until 2352, but the cessation of nearly 60 years of conflict between the two powers was a welcome step toward galactic peace. 

Ships of the ''Ambassador'' class were utilized during the Klingon Civil War, and fought against the Borg and the Cardassians.
