Nebula Class Starship: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:52, 5 November 2018

Accommodation: 750 officers and crew, 130 visiting personnel, 9,800 personal evacuation limit
Dimensions: 442.23 x 318.11 x 130.43 m
Mass: 3,309,000 metric tonnes
Performance: Warp 9.6 for 12 hours (Standard); warp 9.9 for 12 hours (Extended)
Power Source: Fusion Reactors & Matter/Antimatter Reactor
Propulsion: Impulse Engines & Warp Drive

The Nebula Class starship is primarily used by Starfleet in the late 24th century around the same time as the Galaxy Class Starship.

The vessel is designed as a potential replacement for the Miranda Class Starship as a general purpose science, exploration, and combat command vessel. Featuring a mission specific module located above the primary (saucer) hull. Usually this is fit with a multifaceted weapons, sensor, utility module for a wide variety of generalized mission objectives without having to undergo refit at a space-dock.

Offensive Systems

8 Phaser arrays
2 Photon Torpedo Launchers

Defensive Systems

Deflector Shields
Electromagnetic & Subspace Countermeasures

Exterior

Bridge

MSD

Captains Yacht

The ship has what the designs call a Captains Yacht, but more commonly is known as a Captain's Gig. The vessel is attached and docked to the underside of the saucer section of the ship.

Mark 1 Design

Dimensions: 25.6 x 44.4 x 9.28 meters
Crew Capacity: 2 Officers
5 Crew
12 During Evacuation
Power Source: Fusion Reactor & Backup Fusion Reactor
Propulsion: Impulse Drive
Cruising Speed: 0.4c in Space
Mach 6 in Atmosphere
Max Speed: 0.65c in Space
Mach 20 in Atmosphere
Emergency Speed: 0.71 in Space for 15 minutes
Mach 25 in Atmosphere for 31 minutes
Defensive Systems: Deflector Shields
Offensive Systems: None

Mark 2 Design

The initial design for the Captains Yacht did not include warp capabilities, but after the success of such auxiliary craft as on the Nova and Intrepid Class vessels it was decided that a warp capable auxiliary vessel would greatly extend the usefulness. The vessel was originally designed with impulse thruster heads around its entire circumference with a centralized anti-gravity generator so that these low power thrusters could then propel and maneuver the craft.

This design was a produce of the times and since new technologies in propulsion design have produced smaller and more powerful field generators, field coils, and thruster heads the Yacht was updated with the latest technology. The former large fusion reactors that ran primary and backup power were replaced with a series of more compact Micro-Fusion reactors located fore and aft. The central core was then replaced with a scaled up version of the Flyer Class Shuttle reactor design. Impulse thrusters were removed along the port and starboard sides and warp field coils installed, fed by the same plasma conduits from the central core, now a Matter-Antimatter reactor.

A segment of the forward thrusters were then also replaced with a navigational deflector array and, given this updated range of the new design, four Type VIII phaser emitters were added, two forward, two aft and a micro-torpedo launcher was added to the forward section, based on the designed used in the updated Type 9 Shuttle Craft and Flyer Class Shuttle designs.

Power Source: Matter/Antimatter Reactor
Micro-Fusion Reactors
Propulsion: Warp Drive
Impulse Drive
Cruising Speed: Warp 2
Max Speed: Warp 5.5
Emergency Speed: Warp 7 for 22 Minutes
Offensive Systems: 4 Type VIII Phaser Emitters (2 Fore / 2 Aft)
1 Micro-Torpedo Launcher (Forward)
