Kearsarge Class Starship: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:38, 30 July 2022

The Kearsarge Class Starship was originally developed as a light cruiser for Starfleet Command in the mid 23rd century. It was designed for a minimal crew and to be a a fast, rapid response vessel. Smaller than many of the other vessels in the fleet at the time, the ship has only 12 decks. Solas Tempus has taken this original design and began extensive design refits. The vessel is now designed as a covert tactical destroyer, with particular emphasis on it's ability to jump in and out of an area and deploying ordinance before it can be targetted. Special considerations have also been made for unique crew compliments, although the vessel has room for a total crew of 155 it need only be operated by a commanding officer in conjunction with the ships AI using droids and various rapair systems. This allows significant amounts of power to be saved and devoted to defensive / offensive systems.

Dimensions: 178 x 89 x 42 meters (12 Decks)
Crew: 22 Officer, 123 Crew (Full); 11 / One Squad & MSAI (Standard); 2 / Commanding Officer & MSAI (Minimal)
Cruising Speed: Warp 8 / Fold 6
Max Speed: Warp 9.9 / Fold 8
Emergency Speed: Warp 9.95 / Fold 9.6 for 2 Hours
Power Source: Matter / Antimatter Reactor; Deuterium Fusion Reactors
Propulsion: Impulse Drive; Enhanced Warp Drive; Dimensional Fold Drive

Offensive Systems

8 Retractable Phaser Banks (2 Emitters Each)
3 Foreward Torpedo Launchers (2 Foreward / 1 Aft)
2 Rapid Fire Torpedo Launchers (Retractable)

These launchers have multiple launch tubes which lock the next launcher into position as soon as the system fires, they swivel with a 270 degree arc to port and starboard, extending from the dorsal section of engineering.

2 ALR-1 Ravis Missile Launchers (Forward Facing)

The ship is equipped with maglev-loaded autoloading systems with variable warhead configurations allowing the launching of large amounts of varied ordinance very quickly.

Defensive Systems

Holographic Hull Markings
Deflector Shields
Phasing Cloak

Auxiliary Systems

Master Systems AI with Holographic Interface as well as XIA Body and Mark I Humanoid Android Body
Astromech Droids (27)
Teufel Probes (48)
4 x Mark 1 Venture Transport

Auxilary Vehicles

The vessel is designed to operate as a rapid deployment vehicle for SPECOM or STS forces, defending entry and extraction times to allow crew to be recovered.
