Galaxy Class Starship: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:19, 24 June 2017

The Galaxy Class starship was the most advanced starship in the Federation fleet during the late 23rd century, up until the late 2370's where it was replaced by the Sovereign Class Starship. The design was used for one of the most historically pivotal vessels in the fleet, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D). The design also saw significant use during the Dominion War, the USS Odyssey was sent to the Gamma Quadrant early in the building conflict and was destroyed by Dominion forces, showing just how formidable they could truly be.

Dimensions: 642.51 x 463.73 x 195.26 meters
Crew Capacity: 277 Officers
835 Crew
15,000 Evacuation Capacity
Power Source: Matter/Antimatter Reactor
Deuterium Fusion Reactors
Propulsion: Warp Drive
Impulse Drive
Maneuvering Thrusters
Cruising Speed: Warp 6
Flank Speed: Warp 9.6
Emergency Speed: Warp 9.8 for 30 Minutes

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

Mark 2 Design

The initial design for the Captains Yacht did not include warp capabilities, but after the success of such auxilary craft as on the Nova and Intrepid Class vessels it was decided that a warp capable auxiliary vessel would greatly extend the usefulness. Lacking a standard Warp Nacelles characteristics, the engineers opted for a different approach, and build the warp field generators directly into the reactor core. Specialized shielding build into the hull protects the crew from this centralized warp field design. This design also incorporates a navigational deflector emitters along the horizontal axis of the craft, one right above and another ring below the impulse thruster ring.

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

Mark 3 Design

The small craft went through another design refit to integrate the experimental Gravitational Displacement Drive which is well suited for the vessel's size and shape. The oval hull design and sloping edges provide a much more stable platform from which to manipulate gravity and can be done at a significant cost savings contrasted with other vessels.

Propulsion: Gravitational Displacement Drive
