In the Star Trek fictional universe, Starfleet's "Hope class" is a class of starship that makes its only featured appearance in an alternate future in ""'s final episode, "All Good Things...". "Hope" class starships function as hospital ships and are distinguished by a large, spherical primary hull attached to the curved engineering section. One large shuttlebay is located atop the engineering hull and opens toward the vessel's stern. The sphere is covered with portholes, lifeboats and a blue rectangular navigational deflector. The warp nacelles are attached to the secondary hull by backward-angled, upward-curving pylons. The general layout resembles the earlier, 22nd century "Daedalus" class.

In real life, the "Hope" class was designed by Bill George of Industrial Light and Magic.

Naming error

The official name for this class of starship is "Hope" class", based on the dedication plaque aboard the USS "Pasteur" ("TNG": "All Good Things..."). However, the ship is sometimes referred to as "Olympic" class". This is because modelmaker Bill George built the ship independently from the official Star Trek production. During the making of "All Good Things", a new model was needed, and George's was used. However, George used the "Olympic" class" name, and in some venues this name became associated with the design. However, Mike Okuda dubbed it "Hope" class" and demonstrated the completed dedication plaque with the same name during the production.

The non-canon Star Trek Fact Files also use the erroneous name of "Olympic" class" to describe the "Pasteur" in one of its issues.Fact|date=February 2007 "The Star Trek Encyclopedia", written by Okuda, also gives the ship designation as "Olympic", with only a side note reference to "Hope".
