Notes
1.) Argo-class runabouts may be carried in place of Danube-class runabouts, or there may be a mixed complement of both. 

2.) Nebula-class vessels may also carry up to 6 Valkyrie-class starfighters, but they would need to reduce their shuttle complement to make room for them in the main shuttle bay.

3.) Nebula-class starships built with the AWAC sensor pod have a mass of 3,575,000 metric tons. Beginning in 2370, all new Nebulas were/are built with the weapon pod as a standard and use of the AWAC pod has been discontinued. These specs are of the upgraded Nebula with the enhanced weapon pod.

4.) Nebulas with the weapon pod once could have that pod exchanged for other pods such as science lab, medical lab, or colony support as mission parameters dictated. As removal and attachment of pods was time-consuming, the practice has been discontinued.
