Systems Overview

Phasers

The Intrepid II class is equipped with the new Type XII phaser array which equips the Federation's most powerful Starbases and deep space facilities. The Type XII has a raw beam power output some 60% more powerful than the Type X arrays installed on the Galaxy class. In addition, the Type XII has a shorter recharge time and can fire a longer sustained burst, and the Sovereign carries eight arrays compared to Galaxy's twelve.

Torpedoes

Backup to the isokinetic cannon is provided by four photon/quantum tubes; these are located under the suacer section in a pair which face forward, and at the aft of the saucer facing aft. Each is capable of firing eight round bursts.

Shields

The shield system of the Intrepid II class is the most powerful of any Starfleet ship; the design was modified just prior to installation in order to increase effectiveness against both high energy tractor beams and phased polaron particles, measures clearly aimed at the Borg and Dominion respectively. Under normal operation the shield modulation frequencies are under the control of the ships computer system, which continually evaluates incoming weapons fire and automatically re-modulates the shields to give the most effective possible defence.

Engines

Warp

The warp engines of the Intrepid II are of a new design which eliminates subspace distortion effects inherent to standard warp drives, a feature now becoming common on most Starfleet ships. The Intrepid II class is one of the fastest vessels in Starfleet, with a maximum cruise speed of Warp 9.9 and a top speed of Warp 9.99 for up to 36 hours. The very high cruise speed is intended to allow the ship to more quickly travel through deep space.

Transwarp

The Intrepid II's Transwarp propulsion is an extention of its Warp technology, and is therefore housed inside the Warp nacelles, with the forward main deflector incorporating the subsystem that opens the transwarp conduit ahead of the ship.

Impulse

Her Impulse drive system is the most sophisticated model in production, giving the Intrepid II class a manuverability equal to that of a vessel one quarter its size.
