The Cheyenne-class starship was built with four warp nacelles, connected by two scaled-down Galaxy-class necks. In case of an emergency, the Cheyenne was designed to perform a saucer separation procedure.

Given the higher registry of the USS Ahwahnee, the Cheyenne is a recent class that came into service around the same time as the Galaxy-class. Since the design is similar to the older Constellation-class it is also possible that the Cheyenne was meant to replace that class.

The Cheyenne at Wolf 359 and in Picard's tachyon grid have two different registeries, NCC-73620 and NCC-71260. It's unclear if it was meant to be the same ship or not since the NCC-73620 is on the kitbash model and the NCC-71260 from a display. The model was built from AMT/Ertl Enterprise-D kit, with the bridge taken from the 1/1400 kit to suggest the smaller size of the ship. The warp nacelles were made from highlight markers.
