Design History:

The venerable Akira-class has proven itself in major combat situations with the Dominion, Borg and a host of other situations. It has also proven itself to be a capable all-purpose ship.

 

The first of these models have reached their first major-refit cycle, as such all new ships, like the Excalibur-C of this class will be outfitted to these specification. The Excalibur-C is the first of the Akira's to be built with the major refit standards, and as such is classified as an Akira-class of the Excalibur subtype.

 

Most of the major changes from the original Akira-class are beneath the surface and mostly updates to systems such as the EPS grins, LCARS and other support systems. Other adaptations include an enlarged science laboratory section to accommodate a wider range of missions; updates to the sensor palette; a more balanced armament that features fewer photon torpedo launchers in favor of more phaser banks and two quantum torpedo launchers in addition to the still experimental Anti-Torpedo Counter Measure launchers.

 

Other updates include a newer warp core to augment faster warp speeds, updated fighter compliment and the addition of a Marine areas.

CREW QUARTERS SYSTEMS

 

Enlisted, Flight, Marine, and Crew Quarters: Standard Living Quarters are provided for both Starfleet Non-Commissioned Officers, Marines, Flight Crew and Ensigns. These persons are expected to share their room with other crewmates due to space restrictions aboard the starship.

 

Crewmembers share quarters with up to 4 others. Accommodations include 1 bedrooms with four bunks, two to a set, with a small work/commons area.

A communal ultrasonic shower/head room is located off of each barrack, and is shared by three other barracks. A food replicator and a personal holographic viewer are located in the living area. Pets are not allowed to crew in these sections..

 

Officers' Quarters: Starfleet personnel from the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade up to Commander are given one set of quarters to themselves. In addition, department heads and their assistants are granted such privileges as well, in an effort to provide a private environment to perform off-duty work.

 

These accommodations typically include a small bathroom, a bedroom (with standard bed), a living/work area, a food replicator, an ultrasonic shower, personal holographic viewer, and provisions for pets, depending on the Commanding officer's policy.

 

There are three sizes of Officer's Quarters: Junior (Smallest), Senior (Large), and finally Family (Largest). However, because of the Akira's primary mission, few families are stationed aboard and there are very few of the family size, which have a slightly different configuration from the other two.

 

Executive Quarters: The Captain and Executive Officer of the vessel both have special quarters, located near the bridge. They are located on a higher deck because these two people must be closer to the bridge in the event of an Alert situation.

 

These quarters are much more luxurious than any others on the ship, with the exception of the VIP/Diplomatic Guest quarters. Both the Executive Officer's and the Captain's quarters are larger than standard Officer's Quarters, and this space generally has the following accommodations: a bedroom, living/work area, full bathroom, food replicator, ultrasonic shower, old-fashioned water shower, personal holographic viewer, provisions for pets, and even a null-grav sleeping chamber is optional. These quarters are similar in "comfort" to those of a high-ranking officer's quarters on a Galaxy Class Starship. The Captain's quarters are slightly larger than the Executive Officer's.

 

VIP/Diplomatic Guest Quarters: The Akira Class is a symbol of UFP authority, a tool in dealing with other races. Starfleet intends to use Akira Class in diplomacy several times, and the need to transport or accommodate Very Important Persons, diplomats, or ambassadors may arise.

 

These quarters are located on Deck 3. These quarters include a bedroom, spacious living/work area, personal viewscreen, ultrasonic shower, bathtub/water shower, provisions for pets, food replicator, and a null-grav sleeping chamber. These quarters can be immediately converted to class H, K, L, N, and N2 environments. While smaller in size than those facilities aboard a Galaxy Class or the newer Norway Class vessel, they are still far superior in fit and finish when compared to Starfleet Officer quarters.

Excalibur Bridge

 

The bridge of the new USS Excalibur is a complete redesign of the Akira class control center to coincide with the new variant. In reflection of its new, multi-mission emphasis, the Excalibur's bridge has been expanded to incorporate more stations with variable uses, as well as providing more space for the standard duty stations. All in all, the new design should lend to a more productive and enjoyable experience for bridge personnel.

 

The most desired position in all of Starfleet has a new look, and location. Rather than being sunk into the bridge as in most recent bridge designs, the CO will now have a bird's-eye view of the entire control center. Elevated a half meter above the outer ring and 1.5 meters above the helm, this "perch" will allow the Captain to monitor the proceedings at every station without obstruction. The Captain's Chair (CC) itself can swivel 360°, so that even the MSD can be seen. The major reason for this, though, is the newest feature, and a Starfleet first.

 

Due to the success of the EMH program and the necessity of installing holoprojectors in key areas, bridges are now able to fully use holograms. Of course, one can't program the bridge to be a vacation spot, as this would violate many regulations. Now, however, thanks to new imaging technology and specially placed sensors, the bridge can provide a 360° view of surrounding space. Following the level of the floor, this holo-view will extend outside of the center railing and will allow those inside the ability to see the space around them as has only been possible in holodecks and stellar cartography labs. The uses of this, from advanced tactical views to providing the bridge crew with the opportunity to see the phenomena they are exploring will truly give those personnel the best data possible.

 

Other staples of the starship bridge have changed as well. The main viewer is now entirely holographic, and can be resized based on the needs of the mission. Within the center ring, the crew of the USS Excalibur will find two fully rotatable platforms. The Executive Officer's Platform to starboard as well as the new Auxilliary Tactical Platform can both rotate through 360°, allowing the best use of the new half-sphere holo-view. Dual in-service turbolifts will provide quick access to and from the bridge from either side of the catamaran hull, The high spherical dome over the bridge allows the holo-view full room to work, as well as providing the bridge with a much more open feel. The outer ring stations are equipped with much more console space and full wall screens to provide those duty officers the best possible data for their mission.

 

All of this functionality should not rule out style, however, and the designers of the new bridge have taken this into account. All throughout the bridge, you will find the shine of steel to reflect the ship's namesake. The brushed duranium walls provide excellent acoustics as well as providing scientifically designed "easy-on-the-eyes" reflectivity. The deep charcoal carpeting is inlayed with strips of burgundy along the walls and railings, and it's durable and cushioned installation will ensure that even stand-up operations at the auxilliary consoles do not become tiring. Those fortunate enough to have seats will sit in adjustable chairs with proper lumbar support, and even Orion officers could not complain about the deep burgundy synth-leather. The center area is a circle to reflect on the Round Table of the Excalibur legends, and is made with genuine Amboya Burl hand-rail and complimentary steel balustrade.

 

As one looks over at the platinum engraved dedication plaque near the ready room entrance, one can look down to see inlayed carpet in the shape of the legendary sword in the exact center of the bridge forward of the CC. Besides providing an aesthetic boost for the space, it can also stand as a reminder of the purpose behind the weapon, and stand guard over the crew of the new USS Excalibur NCC-2004-C.

The Lancelot-class fighter was designed in the wake of the Dominion war. In the years since the end of the war, the Federation realized that the nearly 40-year-old Peregrine design that had formed the bulk of the Starfleet fighters had reached the end of their life cycle.

 

Starfleet Command commissioned the design of a totally new fighter, the Lancelot-class. Designed to be a light strike fighter that would be more agile than the Peregrines, which had been labeled as “underpowered runabouts,” the Lancelot is a completely new designed based more heavily on a shuttle than a runabout.

 

After intial studies showed a design that was too large, Starfleet Design introduced a radical new concept for the Lancelot. Unlike almost every other ship, it would not contain both fusion reactors and a M/AM driver. Instead it would use state of the art warp field controls to produce sub-light speeds with revolutionary micro-subspace field generators powered by the M/AM driver. This allowed the Lancelot-class to be smaller, more agile, better balanced and equally deadly.

 

Another feature is that the Lancelot is able to maneuver freely in true atmospheric flight.

 

The first of these models rolled out onto Akira-class and Medusa-class vessels early in 2380.

After the introduction of the standard Lancelot, it was clear that another supplemental fighter be added to the range. The solution was the Lancelot Advanced.

 

A larger,longer-range fighter than the standard Lancelot, the Advanced has several key differences from its smaller brother. Larger warp nacelles, which are detachable to allow more maneuverability, true impulse drivers as size was less of an issue and the control software for the micro-subspace field had proved slightly unreliable in the early testing. (The problem has since been resolved)

 

The Advanced also carries a larger navigation array for its higher warp speeds, upgraded subspace antenna, heavier weaponry, including hard point mounts for mission specific ordinance or sensor pods. Another feature not included on the standard Lancelot is the holographic decoy launchers. The decoys produce a fake warp signature as well as full EM spectrum facsimiles of the fighters. Because of the power needed to do this the decoys usually burn out within 10 second of launch.

 

However, the additions come at a price. The Advanced version is heavier and less agile in tight maneuvers, it also loses it's full atmospheric flight abilities.

 

Despite this, many locations have gone solely to the Lancelot Advanced fighter, though carriers like the Akira-class and Medusa-class carry both, with the Advanced typically in smaller numbers.

 

The first block of Advanced Lancelot-class fighters entered service in 2381.

Originally intended as a replacement for the Danube-class runabout for stations, the Guinevere-class was then modified to a more combat oriented role as the Starfleet opted to leave the venerable Danube-class in service for another 15 years.

 

The “Gwens,” as their often known by their crews, are based heavily on newer fighter frames of the mid-70's. Armed heavily for a fighter, the Gwens fill a dual role of heavy fighter and bomber, carrying an impressive ordinance. However, the added weapons and bomber bay decreases the Gwen's ability to be maneuverable.
