Class: Pendragon
Ship Type: Explorer\Warship
Commision Date: 240009.24

Propulsion:
    Manifold power relay system utilizing multiple matter streams and dedicated computer control of such. The usage of dynamic computer-control using nanocomputer packs and bio-neural gel packs allows for the multiple-facet 2nd Phase Keltrinium crystals, set in a trihedral locking matrix, targeting that increases power allocation efficiency and power generation on a whole. There are currently 15 fail-safe mechanisms and over 30 modifications that allow the core to operate. The multiple matter streams can be activated and deactivated with 3 minutes of the fail-safes via computer control, 7 minutes to fully de-power and 2.46 hours to fully recharge and the multiple matter stream to fully reach beam cohesion; it takes 5 days to correctly re-calibrate an emergency shutdown sequence. Enhanced super-conducting magnets prevent catastrophic antimatter loss and provide further beam coherency.

Engines:

  Max. Cruise Speed: Warp 9.92
  Emergency Speed: Warp 9.9978
  Maximum Transwarp: 3
  Maximum Efficiency: Warp 9=97.3%
  Nacelles: 4 Variable-geometry nacelles
  Fuel: Sufficient (deuterium) antimatter is carried onboard for 5 years of standard travel,including TW and normal warp drive.
  Power: Supplied by warp core under normal operations. Can also draw up to 82% power from auxiliary warp cores during emergency situations.
  Total Power Output: 18,000 TeraWatts

Impulse Engines:
  -16 dispersion-strenghtened hafnium molyferrinide fusion spheres.
  -Tuned to emit in less-noticible UV spectrum; it is slightly less efficient, but the greater stealth capability makes up for it.
  -Utilizes a Helium-3 enhanced deuterium flow as well as a completely ordered ionic injector and muon-nuclei bonding.
  -Has a separate antimatter storage cell to be used as a speed boost; 3 boosts possible
  -Muon-generator powered by a nanofusion power cell, as well as multi-injector ports
  -Magnetohydrodynamic thrusters burning deuterium via magnetic compression and radio-frequency heating; superconductive magnetic field coils, layered to provide feedback control via changing the energy fed to the coils. MHD thrusters use high-energy EM fields to propel ionically charged material at very high speeds; the burned deuterium gains a large ionic charge and is easily propelled.
  -Fuel pumps electromechanically operated and constructed of a phase-transition welded cortanium carbide alloy; can withstand up to 345,000 KPA.
  -Dual-stage Vectored driver coil
  -NFC coating on all load-bearing components inside and outside of the vessel.
  -Reinforced G-Driver and S-Driver coils, as well as reinforced warp coils
  -Double-layered superconductive magnets for Power Transfer Conduits
  -Steerable exhaust vents to wring maximum amount of movement from exhaust
16 on starship, 6 inside Defiant-class bridge division.
Max. Emergency Speed 0.79c
Max. Safe Speed: 0.28c

Auxiliary power comes in the form of adapted Tholian gravitic power cells, more efficient due to each cell's faster energy pooling than standard Starfleet auxiliary generators and nanofusion power generators 1 meter in diameter, with their own separate deuterium fuel sources.

Tactical

The SIF is boosted by a electro-magnetic reinforcement and routed through the auxilliary warp systems to aid against matter-loss in case of a hull breach. As a multi-capable starship, it is well-equipped weapons-wise to provide adequate firepower against any new threats she might encounter. To that end, the vessel has been equipped with regenerative, nutational, and metaphasic enhancements. Also, a form of the the multi-vector assault mode pioneered in the Prometheus-class is here as well. The whole ship is boosted with a type 3 ablative armor, gamma-welded to the hull, in addition to normal hull strength. In the external defense, phaser arrays have been upgraded to type XII, with enhanced focalization, giving impressive accuracy and allowing easier controlled recharge. She also carries impressive loads of torpedos.

Phasers Banks:
  -6 Type XII Phaser Banks
  -4 Impellor Beam cannons
  -2 Thaser Beam cannons
  -4 Type II Teryon Beams
  -4 Anaphasic Pulsers
  --6 major arrays with direct EPS tap
  --4 minor phaser arrays
  --Two Antimatter Generators are dedicated to run through phaser arrays for sensor distraction.

Torpedo Tubes: 3 Forward Launchers - Most fore launcher is rapid-enhanced and other two are burst enhanced.
1 Aft Launcher
1 port launcher and 1 starboard launcher

  Launchers are a gravity-based system. It is strung with sequential solid-state gravity field induction coils and launch assist MHD generators to provide initial power to the sustainer and propel the casing away from the starship. Once fired, the launcher tube is purged of surface residues by flash sterilization, the coil charges are neutralized, and the firing dequencer is reset to await a new load of torpedos.
  The use of gravity field coils instead of magnetic field coils eliminates two problems.
1. Slow refire rate. Federation torpedo launchers are somewhat slow in their torpedo fire rate; they make up for this by being able to launch multiple torps at once.
2. Overheating. Despite cooling, in heavy battle the coils can overheat and render the launch tube inoperable until they cool down; in rare instances they have been known to melt. The gravitic coils, due to their different operating effect, have *quadruple* the time before overheating of other components, not the coils themselves.

Payload:
  100 Quantum torpedos with cobalt hexaflouride enhancement
  100 Multi-type Cluster torpedos-microquantum and photon
  50 Muon\antineutrino torpedos
  50 Singularity torpedos
  25 Verteron Torpedos
  25 graviton torpedos

The other defenses, other than multi-dynamic shield amplification and resonance capability (allowing the starship's shields to be more easily modulated and particle ionized), also include internal defenses. Security Enforcement Cells (SEC) are aligned in all corridors and jeffries tube of the ship. They enable forcefields to project in many places that the standard forcefield cut-off points don't reach, giving the crew an advantage to any ship invasions. Interception Counter Measure ordnances, are also available for torpedo modification in quantum and photon casings. They are able to detect and attempt to thwart incoming enemy weapons fire with a dedicated tactical computer.

Shields:

Standard Starfleet deflector shield arrays, enhanced with Metaphasic and Nutational shield modes. Defense also include a Storm-class cloaking device and a shield-enhanced (but not dependent) Structural Integrity Field.

Data:
Shields Sustainable Load: 7,200 MW
  * Ultra EM Band Support
  * Rapid Remodulation Systems
  * Electromagnetic Regeneration Systems
  * Auxiliary Systems: 68% of main shields. Can be raised simultaneously with standard shields to shore them up, similar to diaxialted shield grids.

Hull

  -Outer hull-
  The shell right under the hull is made of interlaced duranium filaments, which are welded onto Duritanium\carbotanium segments. Reinforcement is provided by electron-bonded cortanium pins and diagonally placed tetroburnium struts.The substrate layer is composed primarily of ceramic crossbracing and weight support. Thermal insulation and secondary SIF conduction is provided by three 4cm layers of explanded magnesium\gold\titanium alloy. Further support is provided by 2m multiaxis carbotanium\durasteel trusses, which provide for air circulation, repair conduits and fixed utilities such as power and sensor feeds. Also coated in micro-diffracted carbon to reduce EM-radiation signature. Essentially any EM radiation from the UV band on down is absorbed, making the ship completely black. Radiation protection is provided by a 2cm layer of lead infused with rhodinium fibers. Below this is the nano-carbon tubule layer, consisting of .5cm wide braided fibers of this substance, welded together. The outer hull is made of alternating layers of monotanium and nanocrystalline duranium.

-Armor-
  Type 2 Force Hull Armor
  nano-cryst duranium
  Type 3 ablative armor
  Sensor-absorption\receiver layer

-Middle layer-
Aluminum foam, IDF conductor and triagularly arranged gundamium stress braces.

-Inner layer- Shock-absorption polymers and liqui-gel duranium suspension.

Inertial Dampering System - The system can protect crew from G-forces up to 12 G`s above normal compensation levels. The system also uses Magellan Class shared components in combating shearing forces capable of allowing the ship tight turns and more dramatic navigational gyro control. A high-density graviton polaric yield, a remodulated design, allows this comphensation.

Computer Information

Computer Core: Bioneural Core and Nanocomputer core with quantum-transient relay connections and bioholographic bacteriorhodopsin thinfilm stacking.
Memory Capability: Total memory capacity for each core is 1,500,000 kiloquads. Total memory of primary cores together is 6,000,000 kiloquads.

Transmission Speed: The FTL subspace generator has been improved in each computer core by several "warp" factors. Standard transmission rate is about 1000 kiloquads/nanosec. It uses a non-propulsive subspace displacement of 5000 millicochranes. The fastest transmission rate recorded is 5000 kiloquads/sec.Instantaneous access to 1000 data channels. PADD/Consoles Have been constructed with quantum-computational sub-processors and multi-frequency RF receivers\ transmitters to take as much advantage of this power as possible.


Special Modification: Bridge Module

The Bridge Module aboard the Pendragon class is actually a embedded defiant-class ship. The bridge acts the same for both vessels, umbilicals disconnecting if separation occurs. Command of the secondary ship is transfered to advanced computer control under the direction of prometheus-class algorithms.
