213: 1 pixel to 1 meterUSS Endeavor NCC-71805 -- Nebula class heavy cruiser. This design first seen as the USS Phoenix in TNG: The Wounded, and variations thereafter in other episodes throughout the various Trek series.The USS Endeavor is a primary ship from Jay Hailey's Outwardly Mobile. It gets a brief mention in Lines in the Sand, and is featured in the STB-600 game.
USS Royal Sovereign NCC-75000 -- Sovereign class heavy frigate. This ship class is first seen in Star Trek: First Contact
as the Enterprise-E. The USS Royal Sovereign gets in as the class ship
even though the Enterprise D was never destroyed in Epiphany Trek. Generations is just too stupid to accept.
USS Maui NCC-75742 -- Steamrunner class light frigate. The Steamrunner is another design new with First Contact. Not much as been made available on the class.
USS K'talan CX-29 -- "Blue" Dolphin class heavy cruiser.
The Dolphin class was first mentioned in one of Jay Hailey's short
shorts "New Ship, Old Mission. The K'talan is the first of her class,
the disodium heavy cruisers. The Dolphins are 36 decks deep with a hull
as wide as it is long.
USS Lexington NCC-79000 -- "Fleet" Dolphin class heavy
cruiser. The Dolphin class was first mentioned in one of Jay Hailey's
short shorts "New Ship, Old Mission. The K'talan is the first of her
class, the disodium heavy cruisers. The Dolphins are 36 decks deep with
a hull as wide as it is long.
USS Deliverance NCC-78765 --
Mercury class relief cruiser. The Mercury class is built with a single
mission in mind. Recovery follow-up. The Kliges'chee implosion zone is
a massive region of space that is fill to bursting with formerly space
faring races that the Kliges'chee have pounded back to pre-spaceflight.
The Mercury class is designed to move in quickly with a relief mission
once such a planet is contacted. She moves in behind the GXC cruisers
sets up a relief mission and once it is going moves on to the next task.
YDF Manhattan NCC-1463 -- Baton Rouge class Heavy Cruiser.
The Baton Rouge class ships were the main design previous to the
Constitution class ships. They carried the brunt of the fighting in the
Four Years War and still are the major reserve fleet in the time of TOS.
USS Potemkin NCC 374 -- Freedom class heavy cruiser. New
in the 2220s the Potemkin should not have been on the front line in the
Four Years War, but it was. While a significant advance over the
Horizon and earlier Daedalus class ships she was no match for the
Klingon D5s. ADF Swift CF-187 -- More on the Falcon class can be found on the 10 pixel to 1 meter descriptions. USS Enterprise NCC-1701 -- Constitution class refit. Hey, what needs to be said? The Ship to which all others bow. In this case the Enterprise is from an Alternate Universe and is featured in Time and Again.
USS Springfield NCC-51077 -- Springfield class light
cruiser. The Springfield is one of several "half galaxy" saucer classes
found in the Fleet, the Niagara and the New Orleans classes being two
more. This fulfills the role of the general light cruiser before the
appearance of the Intrepid class. USS Oberon NCC-10201 -- Miranda class Mobile subspace telescope. The Oberon is something truly unusual, a mobile subspace telescope. The massive saucer on the top opens to deploy a subspace array that is two kilometers across. The limitation is that the ship is a mere appendage to the telescope when it is deployed and it cannot move. The up side is the Oberon is the equal of many orbital instillations for sensitivity and it can set up in the depths of interstellar space. USS Tenacious CB-17 -- Manta-Ds class refit heavy frigate. The Tenacious seen in the STB-600 game has been refit with the new disodium warp cores and the warp nacelles to handle the hotter plasma. It is otherwise similar to the Questing. USS Excaliber NCC-78548 -- Galaxy-Ds refit heavy cruiser. Starfleet is having a problem with the Galaxy class. All of the ships are relatively young, yet the graceful swan neck are not suitable to upgrade to disodium. The Excalibur refit is the answer. Chop out the neck and reconfigure the ship. The turrets from the Manta class have been added as well.
SS George C. Kenbono -- Mammoth class container ship. The generation before the Behemoths. The later design takes a lot from this one.
USS Necessity FF-72 -- Stingray class light frigate The
stingray was the first of a new type. Light frigates intended for
system defense and limited patrol. They are designed taking the lessons
of the failed Emerald class firmly in mind. It is considered a
replacement for the aging Unity class ships. TIS Vindictive -- Trantorian battleship. A tip of the hat to The Foundation Trilogy My Trantorian Empire is coreward of the Federation and STB-600 is just having to deal with them. My battleship is a combination of what Asimov described and Trek sensibilities. They have been seen in the STB-600 game.
SS Timberline -- Sottaceto class freighter. An older design in 2261, something a struggling colony mission could afford.
USS Covenant Cl-01 -- Covenant class light cruiser. The
Covenant is named for a lost Unity class ship. As the development of
the class was recently "requested" in the STB-600 game the ship has no
history as of yet.
Lucyintheskywithdiamonds -- Contractor class cruiser. The
Builders are not big ones for a large variety of designs. This is what
you get for anything short of towing massive loads. The Contractor has
four built-in nacelles powered by four di-potassium warp cores that are
supplied by a zero-point energy source. Fast? You betcha. They can
spank anything in known space smaller and a good deal that is larger
than themselves.
Jolly Rogers -- Wanderer ship. The Jolly Rogers is made
from discarded bits. Not even the bits from a single class of ship
either. The ship was also known as "The Beloved Groddy Failure Looking
for a Place to Happen". The Aneilogs and Starfleet took pity on the
Jolly Rogers and traded their old ship for a new one. Renaissance Gift -- Wanderer ship. This is the replacement that STB-600 built for the Jolly Rogers. It is variation on the old "light freighter" idea from the 23rd century. From the STB-600 game.
Farcit Dart -- Farcit Frigate. These little warships are
the Farcit's primary means of enforcing the "mine" zone. As Farcits
stand about three feet tall it is a bigger ship than it looks to be.
Even at that it has all the welcoming grace of the inside of a sub.
Farcit frigates are powerful little ships, and if not for their more
limited shielding technology they could walk all over most of the races
in their sector. Phtau -- Youn Gallis. This ship is a Youn heavy frigate. While it can engage in light trading, its purpose is to defend the trade routes for Youn merchants and to discourage the competition. It was in this latter role that it tangled with a Ferengi light Marauder on the edges of the Ozian system in the STB-600 game. Both ships were escorted, in damaged condition, by frigates of the ADF to a dock at Renaissance Station. Plentiful Goods at Reasonable Prices -- Ferengi Marauder. A standard Marauder as seen in TNG several times. "Plentiful Goods" was seen in the STB-600 game where she was contracted to rescue refugees from an overloaded Federation Starship. The Ferengi Damon got the thanks of Starfleet and a fat reward, one of which meant something to him.
PSS Giffin ZNC-3400 -- Courageous class heavy cruiser. the
Giffin represents the newest class of ship produced by the Poong for
the Zantree Alliance. The Starfleet influence is obvious. the Giffin
never appears by name and would mainly be seen in the STB-600 game.
PSS Albin ZNC-365 -- Able class heavy cruiser. The Able
class represents the state of the art in Poong designs before they were
influenced by Starfleet designs. This design has no appearance as of
yet. Qua'nov (Alien Destroyer) -- D7 battlecruiser. The classic TOS Klingon ship. No appearence in Epiphany Trek as of yet, but it can only be a matter of time. vavnl bortaS (Grandfather's Revenge) -- K'T'Inga battle cruiser. Grandfather's revenge is from Jay Hailey's Prometheus Quest Part II story. It stands in for the TMP update of one of the most common Klingon ships ever built.
tajHom bang (Razor's Kiss) -- Bat'leth class
"swift" cruiser. As the Federation discovered, big ships are all well
and good, but there is an eternal need for the ship in the 300 meter
range. The Federation answer was the Intrepid, the Klingons built the
Bat'leth. Dunqeng (Great Lifter) -- T7 tug. The Dungeng is the Klingon Tug seen in Collateral Damage. Even the Klingons need tugs and transports.
Vengeance Blade -- D6 war dragon. The generation before the D7. One more advancement in Klingon ship design. quD -- Neg'var battleship. The ship for Klingons that are compesating for something, massive and ugly. She is mentioned in passing near the end of The Long Patrol jejang (Sharp Answer) -- Vor'cha battlecruiser. The Klingon equivlent of the Galaxy class, only more Klingon. This ship is Ambassador's Karrak's vessel in the STB-600 game. targhSoS (Targ Sow) -- Klingon container freighter. This is the McGuffin in Collateral Damage.. Her name is never mentioned in the story.
Aw (Sting) -- taj class scout. I consider
that the basic BoP scout is 100 years old at this time, a better ship
has been developed to fill the role. This is the taj, or dagger class scout.
Securer -- Zak battleship. Zak build heavy angular ships with great redundancy. A race that views everything in term of threat.
Kliges'chee cruiser -- A Kliges'chee cruiser. The mass
minded Kliges'chee do not name their ships. They don't even really
number them. As each Comptroller knows where its bits are, and doesn't
have to keep track of names. They make only one class of ship for each
job, and only vary that if the type proves to not do the job.
Kliges'chee scout -- A Kliges'chee scout.
The mass minded Kliges'chee do not name their ships. They don't even
really number them. As each Comptroler knows where its bits are, and
doesn't have to keep track of names. They make only one class of ship
for each job, and only vary that if the type proves to not do the job.
Kliges'chee Transport -- A Kliges'chee Transport.
The mass minded Kliges'chee do not name their ships. They don't even
really number them. As each Comptroler knows where its bits are, and
doesn't have to keep track of names. They make only one class of ship
for each job, and only vary that if the type proves to not do the job.
