Federation Class Starship: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 03:17, 17 June 2020

The Federation Class starship was designed to be a multipurpose combination carrier and long term science and patrol vessel for the Federation. Few of the vessels were ever built, as the design of the Constitution Class Starship was seen to be more relevant to the Federation charter at the time. The vessels were designed to supersede the Constitution Class in combat situations, however due to the resource cost of construction, many projects favored the continued use of the well-known and already battle tested Constitution Class, popularized largely by the command of James T. Kirk and the USS Enterprise. Political forces within the Federation benched the project far earlier than is normal for such vessels.

Dimensions: 320 x 140 x 87 m
Crew Capacity: 55 Officers
445 Enlisted
Power Source: Matter/Antimatter Reactor
Deuterium Fusion Reactors
Propulsion: Dimensional Fold Drive
Warp Drive
Impulse Drive
Maneuvering Thrusters
Cruising Speed: Warp 6.5
Flank Speed: Warp 9.1
Emergency Speed: Warp 9.5 for 30 Minutes
Design Plans: Deck Plans

The space frame design was built with the exact same principles as that of the Constitution Class, with special care taken for the longevity of the design. Solas Tempus recently revisited these designs for deployment, along with several of their older Constitution Class cousins. Since few of the ships were ever built, the construction project of new Federation class vessels was authorized in 2382, and several of the ships have already been completed and are now in service. Despite the older design and feel of the ship, they have proven to be a valuable asset to the fleet.

Modifications to Original Design

The original 23rd century design had several shortcomings in both power source and computing power. Her space-frame was kept but the design was upgraded significantly before Solas Tempus began construction.

Phaser / photon systems upgraded
Computer network upgraded to bio-neural gelpacks
HAL Computer System HUB added
Phasing Cloak added
Dimensional Fold Drive added
Holographic projectors added throughout the ship
Energy Signature Modification System and Holographic Decoy Projection added

Offensive Systems

5 Phaser Banks (2 Emitters Each)
2 Photon Torpedo Banks (2 Launchers Each)

Defensive Systems

Deflector Shields
Phasing Cloak
Holographic Decoy Projection
Energy Signature Modification System

Auxiliary Craft
