  FEDERATION NAVAL SUMMARY
       Star Fleet remains the most visible and active division of the United Federation of 
  Planets.  Used as the primary as the exploration and defense division of the 
  Federation, Star Fleet maintains a wide range of vessels with varying degrees of 
  capability and military power.  Despite a wish for peace, Star Fleet must maintain a 
  constant readiness to defend the member states and assets of the ever-expanding 
  Federation.
       Star Fleets primary space born asset, the cruiser, is only one in a wide range of 
  vessel types, including destroyers, frigates, scout and freighters.  With its mandate 
  for exploration its primary motivating factor, no other single space faring organization 
  has shown as much diversity in their design and function of their vessels as the UFP.  
  With over 100 worlds from which to draw inspiration and talent from, the Federation 
  maintains one of the most powerful navies.  With exploration and expansion has 
  come new allies and new enemies.  Star Fleet continues to maintain a powerful 
  combat potential tied to it's exploration, scientific and diplomatic functions
  SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL
       This manual described dozens of lesser know vessels that are now employed by 
  Star Fleet to further the mandates of the United Federation of Planets.  Combat, 
  exploration and support vessels are all discussed in detail, including status, 
  deployment and upgrades.
       Where possible, accurate data has been represented congruent to the safety of 
  Star Fleet personnel and the worlds they defend.  Current tactical capabilities may 
  proved different from printed sources to ensure that hostile military organizations do 
  not create an advantage.  Vessels represented, both active and inactive, represent 
  only a small portion of the entire fleet.  Exact fleet status can be obtaind from the 
  Office of Information - Star Fleet Division, Star Fleet Command - San Francisco, 
  Terra.

  KOLM-AN CLASS VIII ASSAULT SHIP
  Notes:
   
  "Muscular" is the word used to describe the formidable Kolm-An 
  assault ship.  The Makin and Continent classes carry more men and 
  equipment, but the Kolm-An carries a heftier load of ship borne weaponry, 
  the better to provide it's landed troops with fire support from orbit.
   The Kolm-An class was designed to transport up to a company of 
  Federation Marines, their vehicles and equipment, to land them on a hostile 
  world via trasporters and/or assault shuttlecraft , to provide all their support 
  needs for up to 30 standard solar days without re-supply and to hold off 
  minor counterattacks, all of this without aid or support from accompanying 
  Star Fleet Vessels.
    
  Star Fleet felt it necessary to have such ships as the Kolm-An 
  class to provide swift deployment of needed defensive forces at short notice 
  along the congested Klingon and Romulan Neutral Zones.  Unlike the larger 
  assault ships, Kolm-An need not be based or restricted to limited patrol 
  routes, or provided with extensive escort and support ships, all of which 
  increase response time.  To deal with the threat of deliberate invasion or 
  even sudden raids on Federation or neutral worlds on the frontier, the best 
  course was to place single companies of Marines on constant combat patrol, 
  and the best way to do that was to build a ship capable of holding its own 
  with a minimum of external aid.
    
  A Kolm-An can land its troops, combat-ready, in approximately 
  ten minutes from "go".  Its dual-purpose Combat Information Center on the 
  bridge coordinates reports from the ground and monitors the space situation.
  The ground commander can order phaser or photon torpedo bombardment 
  with pin-point accuracy in less than thirty second from receipt of the fire 
  order, evaluate the overall terrain with spaceborne sensors to determine the 
  local threat, and ensure backup communications control with the aid of the 
  Kolm-An's sophisticated track-and-comm station.
    
  For quick insertions and rapid extractions, the Kolm-An has no 
  equal on either side of the frontier.  But its mission profile demands that the 
  local threat be conclusively dealt with in thirty minutes before the ship's orbit 
  carrier it beyond the battle zone.  Some Marine commanders have extended 
  their full-combat ability time by landing as much as an orbit ahead of time 
  and attacking the objective only as the Kolm-An arrives above the horizon 
  (ATH).  Time and circumstances do not always permit this; though standard 
  orders always explicitly grand Marine commander the option to retreat from 
  too large a threat, only once has a Kolm-An retreated before landing its 
  forces.
    
  Kolm-An's are being built at the rate of 16 per year at Salazaar, 
  Sol II and Star Base 12 shipyards.  Of the 39 Kolm-An class vessels built, 34 
  remain in active service.  Of the remainder, 2 are used by Star Fleet Training 
  Command, 2 have been scrapped and 1 has been destroyed.

  INDOMITABLE CLASS XII BATTLESHIP
  NOTES:
  Known Sphere of Operation: Federation Wide Boarders
   
  After the USS Enterprise was involved in the V'Ger 
  Incident of 2271, and her resulting acid test of new systems, Star 
  Fleet Procurement approved plans to build a battleship class. At 
  this time, reports were also being received from Project Dixie and 
  Project Grey Ghost intelligence agents that the Klingons were 
  aspiring to build a successor to the L-13 class, and the RomuIans 
  were about to start construction on a battleship.
    
  The approved design, code-named Indomitable, used 
  the new FWG-1 units, along with the FIG-2 impulse drive system 
  (which was not installed on the Enterprise), along with the 
  advanced M-7 multitronic computer which had just been removed 
  from the drawing boards and put into production. The M-7s use 
  was a shot in the arm to Daystrom Data Concepts, since no one 
  had yet found a use for the system. The go-ahead was given to 
  build 10 Indomitable Class battleships, and construction began on 
  the first four ships at the Sol III shipyards late 2274.
    
  But in 2275, when Shuvinaaijis announced the 
  development of TransWarp Drive theory, Star Fleet immediately 
  cancelled the contract for the six additional Indomitables that were 
  to be built, and announced that the four ships already under 
  construction would be put into mothballs upon completion. The 
  project contractors involved were startled. Everyone asked Star 
  Fleet why, at a time when the Klingons and Romulans were about 
  to deploy battleships along the borders, did they have to suspend 
  construction on ten battleships? 
    
  Star Fleet offered no explanation. The four completed 
  battleships were placed in mothballs late 2275, and the issue 
  remained unresolved until the recently-promoted Admiral Joseph 
  R Holman, the leading proponent of the "Warp 10 Navy" concept, 
  met with Admiral Randolph Morrow, Commanding Officer of Star 
  Fleet, in February of 2276 aboard Spacedock. Holman discussed 
  with Morrow the Battleship dilemma; he also informed the Admiral 
  that the Klingons were within six weeks of deploying a battleship 
  capable of taking on the Enterprise Class one-on-one, and that the 
  Romulans had already done so.

  Morrow revealed the real reason for canceling the Indomitable 
  Class - "The Great Experiment" - to Holman, who agreed that the 
  Excelsior Class was a welcome addition to Star Fleet, but while the 
  Trans-Warp battleship was under construction and testing, the 
  Indomitable was needed even more than ever to fill the void because, in 
  simple terms, "The Klingons and Romulans have an enormous 
  superiority over us when it comes to battleships. They have 2 while we 
  still have none."
  In addition, Holman convinced Morrow that the Indomitable would not be 
  obsolete at all; their capabilities would be far superior to what the 
  Klingons and Romulans would be producing. And when the time came 
  to refit the class with Trans-Warp Drive, it would be just as capable as 
  the Excelsior.
   
  Following this meeting, Admiral Morrow called a press 
  conference, with Admiral Holman in attendance. Morrow announced the 
  reactivation of the Indomitable project, with the four completed ships to 
  be brought out of mothballs at once and the construction of the six 
  remaining ships begun immediately. Admiral Morrow also publicly 
  revealed that the Klingons and Romulans were about to deploy the L-24 
  ("Ever-Victorious") and Z-1 ("Nova") battleships along their border 
  areas. "This," he said, "only offers us solid proof that we need this type 
  of ship where it (the Indomitable) is needed most. . . to deter possible 
  Klingon and Romulan aggression." He also announced the existence of 
  the heretofore rumored Trans-Warp Drive ship, the USS Excelsior, 
  which was ready to undergo testing.
   
  Four ships ,the USS Indomitable (NCC-2010), the USS 
  lndefatigable (NCC-2011), the USS Dauntless (NCC-2012), and USS 
  Incontestable (NCC-2013) were simultaneously commissioned on July 
  1st, 2276. All four ships were immediately sent to the Klingon and 
  Romulan border areas. Their appearance has apparently evened the 
  balance of power for the moment and having a smaller displacement 
  than the L-24 or Z-l, with combat capabilities vastly superior to their 
  Klingon and Romulan counterparts.
  The Mk II is being fitted with the improved FWG-1 warp engines, the 
  most powerful conventional mass produced warp drive engines in 
  history, with Warp 8 standard and Warp 10 emergency speeds. The M-8 
  multitronic computer replaces the M-7, allowing the addition of two FP-4 
  photon torpedoes to the weapons complement, giving the Mk II 
  firepower comparable to the Mk I Excelsior.  The Indomitable Class is to 
  be produced at the Sol IV shipyards at a rate of2 per year, and will be 
  produced in addition to the Excelsior Class.

  Conceived as a cutter for dealing with smaller 
  pirates and smugglers, the Bearclaw combines speed 
  and firepower with good shielding for its size. Her sleek 
  shape is intended to make atmospheric flight easier 
  should the need arise for the craft to land.

  NOTES
  Sphere of Operation: Federation Stations
   
  The St. Bernard that runs like a greyhound" is how Federation 
  Admiral James Atosin described the D.S.S. Finder at its launch. Among the 
  newest of the Federation's base auxiliary craft, the Finder Class IV Search 
  and Rescue Corvette fills a need long lacking in Star Base operations: A 
  quick-response large craft capable of locating and reaching vessels in 
  distress in minimum time, and of rescuing their crew and passengers.
  Emergencies in space that result in loss of warp capability and life support are 
  quite common in heavily-traveled space lanes, as well as near busy frontiers. 
  The great number of vessels for the former, and the generally advanced age 
  and poor condition of ships for the latter, are the main causes. The Federation 
  has had to rely on a passing Star Fleet vessel for most of these rescues, even 
  when the distress signal reached a Star Base or other permanent facility. It 
  used to be common practice to dispatch whatever ships were available, 
  including vessels under repair, Merchant Marine craft, tenders and tugs to 
  ensure that sufficient vessels were on hand to take off all life forms in danger.
  Star Fleet Admiral Hugam Naroev of Materiel Command finally had a Tellarite 
  blowup over this situation. A sector-wide or even a single-base callout to 
  rescue one ship was costing thousands of man hours of repair and 
  replenishment time for a dozen ships at a shot, time that could not be made 
  up if a strict fleet maintenance schedule were to be maintained. His office 
  prepared a study showing that 83% of this time could be saved if Star Fleet 
  had one type of vessel devoted solely to the rescue of endangered lives. He 
  got support from his opposite number in the Office of Shipping and 
  Transportation and took his appeal directly to the Secretary of Star Fleet. 
  Approval for a search-and-rescue corvette class of vessels to be designed 
  and built was authorized 2268.
   
  Star Fleet had already authorized the construction of merchant 
  cutters and other patrol craft for heavily-trafficked space, and there was some 
  friction over the necessity for a special-purpose vessel, but the near disaster 
  of the Emperor Ankhan won over most of the critics. Life-saver vessels were a 
  Federation necessity. The Finders were intended to respond to distress calls 
  at high speed, to locate vessels in distress even if they had no transmissions, 
  transponder or beacon, and to effect a maximum-speed evacuation of all life-
  forms from a stricken vessel back to its home base. They were designed, 
  therefore, to be light, fast, roomy, and equipped exclusively with emergency 
  medical facilities, expanded life-support systems, and an immense sensor 
  array based on twin Chiokis scanner dishes. They also carried four specially-
  designed evacuation launches built with universal-adaptor airlocks, a 
  miniature sickbay, and couches for up to 40 humanoid life-forms each, 
  capable of planetary landings as a matter of course. Each Finder can carry up 
  to 200 humanoid-sized life-forms, standard, but up to 500 or more can fit 
  aboard in an emergency.
   
  Any remaining doubts as to the class' usefulness were dispelled 
  two months after the first launch, when the Finder itself intercepted a distress 
  call on the way to its first duty station. The free trader Backspin had 
  encountered an uncharted gravitic anomaly and suffered heavy damage; it 
  was unable to resume warp and had less than a day's life support left for the 
  41 surviving crew and passengers. By the time the Finder reached the last 
  reported position the free trader had already ceased to broadcast and the 
  gravitic anomaly had confused the navigation sensors, but the Finder's crew 
  spent less than two hours locating the vessel. By the time the Star Fleet craft 
  hove alongside most of the free trader's crew were unconscious, but quick 
  action saved them all without the loss of a single life.
   
  Star Fleet's original deployment plan would have placed two 
  Finders at every Star Base and major Federation world; plans are reportedly 
  afoot even now to speed up production to place Finders on open patrol in 
  frontier regions to improve their reaction time. The shipyards at Morena are 
  producing three Finders a year, but this rate is expected to double shortly.

  The Apollo class started life basically as a 
  prototype design study and was never intended to go 
  into production. When tensions between the Federation 
  and the Romulan Empire increased following the Toma 
  Incident, the Apollo class was put into full production in 
  the event of war. In the end, only ten of these ships 
  were built.

  NOTES:
  Federation Wide Use
   
  The Ashanti was produced by a combination of Politics 
  and technical innovation. The decision to decommission the 
  Constitution class ships in 2285 meant that a successor was 
  required. It was logical that the new design draw on the old. One 
  major change that was dictated was the choice of Warp Drive, the 
  new FWG-3 warp drive had just come onto the inventory, and it 
  was proposed to use this engine on the new class. This choice 
  forced a change in the Warp drive mountings, as it was felt that the 
  Constitution class support struts would be insufficient to support the 
  greater mass. The choice made was to attach a new support 
  structure to the top of the primary hull, this structure was sturdier, 
  and it also served to house main engineering, releasing a large 
  amount of space in the secondary hull for enhanced shuttle bays 
  and crew facilities. Additional science labs were also added to the 
  secondary hull.
   
  In the event the reversal of the decommissioning 
  decision for the Constitution class meant that the Ashanti was built 
  in relatively small numbers, just 18 ships were built from a 
  projection of 40. The most famous of the ships was of course the 
  USS Challenger NCC-2032, which featured prominently in the 
  skirmishes prior to the signing of the first Khitomer treaty. Another 
  ship of note was NCC- 2048 USS Ahwanne.
   
  The other reason for the limited production run was the 
  choice of warp drive, any growth in class weight would have 
  adversely effected maneuverability and power efficiency. For this 
  reason the Mk II adopted the far lighter FWL2 engine, with a 
  resulting loss of power and efficiency, but speeds were radically 
  improved, and the weight saving from the engines could be used 
  for weapons enhancements. These modifications saw the ships 
  through another 40 years service and into reserve or training duties 
  after that. One ship was diverted from a training cruise to 
  participate in the Battle of Wolf 359.

  EXCELSIOR CLASS XIII-XIV HEAVY CRUISER
  
  NOTES:
   
  Dubbed the "Great Experiment" the Excelsior class of heavy cruiser has become the most recognized work horse in the Federation
  inventory. Originally constructed as a large exploratory cruiser, later changed to a battle ship and finally classified as a Heavy Cruiser, the Excelsior 
  class continues to serve along most frontiers and in numerous mission roles. The Excelsior was originally constructed as the test bed vehicle for the 
  failed Trans-Warp project or the late 2270's and early 2280's. Although the exact nature of the failure of the transwarp system still remains classified, it 
  is know that there ere multiple problems with the system. 
   
  By 2287, Transwarp was declared a failure, and the Excelsior, along with several other designs on the drawing board, was retro fitted with 
  the new FWG-3 driver coils. The FWG-3 was more powerful and significantly more stable than other engine designs, and provided the Mk II with the 
  power and flexibility to conduct it multi-mission role with ease. The Basic design of the Excelsior expands on the much older Constitution class of 
  vessels. Physical changes facilitated by engineering requirements quickly changed the entire appearance of the Excelsior class. The interior design 
  provided for larger science stations and research facilities including 18 science suites, each designed to provide unique facilities on a moments 
  notice. The Basic layout of the ship also provided for better crew's quarters and more recreation facilities for enlisted personnel. The Excelsior could 
  easily remain in deep space for it's full 5 year capability with little support from other vessels. The Excelsior was the first vessel to use the newly 
  designed FSS shield, which would soon become the standard in Deflector designs. The Mk II was also equipped with 10 primary phaser
  emplacements, capable of providing multiple target vectoring for combat operations. Also included were two lower banks and four aft firing banks, 
  giving the excelsior one of the most powerful combat rating of the time. The Excelsior also incorporated 4 torpedo tubes, allowing for the powerful 
  cruiser to fight in nearly any situation. Tests would continue on the excelsior into the late 2280's as sister ships and new classes or vessels based on 
  the design features were all started. By 2288, the Excelsior was officially commissioned and was soon exploring the frontier. When the USS Excelsior 
  her self returned from a 3 year deep space mission in 2291, the Excelsior class was officially designated the Flagship class of the Federation. The 
  Excelsior class went into mass production, and by 2292, nearly 50 were completed and in service. 
   
  In 2290, the third version of the popular heavy cruiser was prepared for launch. The USS Enterprise B was designed to incorporate new 
  systems, including the FSQ deflector shield. This powerful defense systems proved larger than the original space frame, and two large cowlings were 
  added to the hull to provide room for the additional deflector generators. This unique design would later be used on other large cruisers. The 
  increased internal space allowed for the inclusion of 4 additional labs and an additional two research teams. But the most radical design change was 
  the expansion of the primary hull and impulse drive. Originally intended to house two separate FIF-1s, computer problems forced installation of the 
  FIG-3. Using a unique design, the FIG-3's primary thrust systems were split between two location on either side of the primary hull. Newly completed 
  power transfer conduits allowed power from one set or fusion reactors to be shunt to the other thruster. But unlike a twin drive system, the FIG-3 
  needed only one set of control systems, which could be housed between the two thrust ports. This designs allowed individual reactors and other 
  components to be moved from one side of the ship to the other, without the interruption of power. An Increase in firepower also marked the Mk III as a 
  front line combatant. Although the Mk III was larger, is was hoped that the increase in capability would not slow production. Unfortunately, construction 
  of the Mk III was nearly twice as long as construction of the Mk II. The Mk III was never produced in the large numbers of it smaller sibling, and by 
  2301, the Mk IV put production of the Mk III on hold.
  
  NOTES Cont.:
  The Mk IV was started in 2299 in the hopes of a launch for the turn of the century. The improvements to the Mk III had not gone unnoticed, and 
  designers at Utopia Planitia began design work to improve the Mk II. Utilizing new computers at the Jupiter Station Research Division, a fully 
  holographic model of the Mk II was created and new components were moved in 3-d, allowing designers to evaluate their changes and impact on 
  both space frame and crew. Although design work took longer than expected, it was found that with only a minimal re-arrangement of internal 
  compartments, a single FIG-3 could be installed. Although the single drive location did make the Impulse Drive more vulnerable to damage, only a 
  hand full of ships had been lost due to Impulse Drive loss. The cost associated with the Mk III's impulse deck was nearly eliminated, and other 
  systems could be focused on. Included was the new FP-9, which delivered more damage over a wide spread area than other torpedo systems. In a 
  surprising move, the FH-7s were replaced with the newly designed FH-16. Although only half as powerful as the Mk III's FH- 13s, the new FH-16 did 
  have extended range, and took up less internal space. The FH-16 was not as easy to maintain as the FH-13, but was less expensive and easy to 
  install. With the extra internal space freed, the FSQ could easily be installed, and in early 2301, the Mk IV was launched.
   
  The Mk IV was also rushed into production, with plans for another 100 to be built. Bu the end of production, another 87 had been added to 
  the fleet, many of which are still in use. But designers had not given up on the Mk III. In 2312, design work began on the Mk V in an attempt to keep 
  the larger version of the Excelsior in use. Using a new software configuration, two separate M-7a's were installed, one in the primary and one in the 
  secondary hull. Although this necessitated a large re-arrangement of internal compartments, the additional computing power allowed for the 
  installment of more powerful weapons and sensors. The installation of the FH-18 and FH-14 catapulted the Excelsior class past other heavy cruisers 
  and battleships, making it the most powerful twin engine design of it's time. Although other vessels would soon surpass this distinction, the Mk V 
  proved cost efficient enough for over 20 to be built and commissioned. Although original production of the Excelsior was scheduled to exceed 200 by 
  2330, only 150 had been finished or converted. The Excelsior's designation as the fleet work-horse would take its toll on the venerable design. As of 
  2330, 275 space frames have been completed. Currently, 159 Mk IV's and 85 Mk V's are in active service. 5 Excelsior's are listed as missing, 
  including 1 Mk II, 1 Mk III, 1 Mk IV and 2 Mk Vs. 2 Mk IIs, 3 Mk III's, 9 Mk IV's and 5 Mk V's have been destroyed; 1 Mk III, 3 Mk IV's and 3 Mk V's 
  have been scrapped; 6 Mk IV's are currently used jointly by Star Fleet Training Command and Reserve Fleet Operations command, all based in the 
  Sol system. The Excelsior is produced at various shipyards throughout the year at a standard production rate of 4 per year. Current production is 
  expected to last through 2350.
  
  TICONDEROGA CLASSX MEDIUM CRUISER
  Notes:
   
  The Toconderoga Class Medium Cruiser is the newest 
  class of vessel to come off the Federation assembly lines.  At 
  present only 49 Ticonderogas have been completed, with the 
  construciton of 24 more vessels to being if and when the class 
  successfully completes long term operational trials.
   
  The Ticonderoga was the first Star Fleet vessel to 
  employ the "Up & Down" warp nacelle design as apposed to the 
  conventional side to side method of dual engines in the past.  Great 
  study and design experimentation had gone into this alignment, 
  with a number of new theories in warp field engineering occuring as 
  well.  Not until the evidence of improved performace came about 
  was this radical design ever seriously considered.
   
  Tests had shown that, through some still-not-understood 
  principle of matter/anti-matter balance and subspace field 
  mechanics, a vessel using this warp field configuration should 
  attain greater speeds with more safety than a vessel using the 
  conventional configuration.  Practice trials had only been tested on 
  vessels less than 40,000 tons but designer and warp enginering 
  specialists could find no reason why this advantage could not help 
  larger ships as well.  The Ticonderoga class was built to test that 
  theory.
   
  As the design achieved success, Star Fleet intended to 
  use the vessels for such missions as escorting important convoys 
  and pirate suppression duty.  It was felt that the privateers who prey 
  on helpless shipping would come up against a vessel that could 
  both outgun them and outrun them.  This never-before-seen 
  situation was looked upon with great expectation by many 
  merchant corporations and far-flung frontier worlds reliant on 
  successful shipping for survival.
   
  The trials of the Ticonderoga began late 2276.  Only after 
  a year of testing was it determined that the class was indeed a 
  success.  The Ticonderoga class one one of the last major Star 
  Fleet vessels to be fitted with standard warp drive.  Although it was 
  hoped that the trials of the Excelsior and Transwarp would 
  dynamically change Warp Drive technology, the failure of the 
  project none the less produced extensive changes to warp 
  technology that were soon standard designs before the 
  Ticonderoga's production run completed.
   
  Since being comissioned, a total of 46 Ticonderoga 
  remain on active duty.  Plans have not yet been approved for a Mk 
  II variant for the remainin 24 contracted by Star Fleet.  Two Mk I's 
  have been destroyed and one was sold.

  NOTES:
  Known Sphere of Operation: Federation Wide Boarders
   
  The Ariel Class have their origins in proposals for Heavy Cruiser 
  redesign. In its original form the great delta winged Starship was to be much 
  smaller, with only one flight deck at the stern. Tests revealed that the warp 
  dynamics of this shape were greatly enhanced with a much larger "belly" area 
  however.
   
  Accordingly the size and purpose were thus changed. As built the 
  shuttlecarrier can act as the focal point for fleet operations, on detached Task 
  Force duty, or alone as a means of emergency re-supply or evacuation. It 
  carries a complement of 80+ embarked craft, and has capacity to carry cargo 
  equal in mass to an entire small Starship.
   
  What is most intriguing about the design is its shape, which is so 
  Warp dynamic it initially need only slightly modified FWG-2 warp engines to 
  create a Warp Field for a Starship far larger than such engines are usually 
  attached to. As such, it may prove to be the shape which will eventually 
  succeed the Heavy Cruiser to the title of most versatile starship.
   
  Star Fleet has been pressing for the development of deep space 
  exploration Starships externally similar to the Ariel design. It may be that a new 
  generation of huge delta winged Starships will soon open the door to 
  intergalactic travel. 
   
  Unfortunately the sheer size and cost of these ships provoked 
  controversy, and Star Fleet was unwilling to jeopardize these ships on 
  independent duty except deep within the treaty zone. Any operations near the 
  frontier were always as part of a fleet. The reason was that despite their great 
  size, and massively strong structure they were underpowered, and incapable of 
  moving at a respectable speed and maintaining fire at the same time.
   
  These weaknesses were addressed in the 2301 refit, when new 
  FWJ-1 warp engines were fitted, along with the FIH-3 impulse drive. The 
  engine power output was almost doubled, as were the Ship's cursing and 
  maximum speeds. Photon Torpedoes were also fitted at this time, at the 
  expense of some hanger capacity and armor.
   
  The other notable feature of the class was that is was the first 
  operational vessel with two impulse systems in use at once, the great size of 
  the ship removed the problem with interference with the warp drive.  One ship 
  of this class was pulled from reserve and lost in the battle of Wolf 359.

  NOTES:
   
  The Tangent class was originally designed to supplement 
  the Loknar Class frigate, but Star Fleet's design commission 
  determined that the latter's service life could be extended by major 
  refitting.  They were so impressed by the Tangent Class design, 
  however, that they approved it for construction, intending that it take 
  the boarder patrol duties of the Brenton Class cruiser as they entered 
  their refitting schedule.
    
  Using state-of-the-art technology, the Tangent Class was 
  equipped with firepower superior to its predecessors.  Heavy phasers 
  and photon torpedo armament aft made it a formidable opponent in a 
  chase situation.  It's enlarged shuttle bay housed armed warp-capable 
  shuttles; one of the first instances of such a modified warp shuttle 
  being carried by another ship.
    
  It's superstructure was reinforced, making it stronger than 
  the Brenton Class, and it's impulse engine was upgraded, giving the 
  Tangent Mk I an excellent power base.
    
  In answer to increasingly powerful armaments found on 
  both Romulan and Klingon warships in the 2270's, Star Fleet 
  upgraded the Tangent's main torpedo armament to the FP-6.  The Mk 
  III also increased the shield efficiency, giving ship commanders more 
  flexibility.  The Tangent proved an excellent combat vessel and 
  remained in active service in it's destroyer roll until the late 2280's.  By 
  2290, the Tangent was relegated to more restricted rolls, though, and 
  many felt the design should be retired all together.  Then in mid 2303, 
  Morena shipyards upgraded the Wixian that was undergoing routine 
  repairs.  Within 6 months, the Mk IV was in trial runs and the new 
  design revitalized the Tangent's roll in Star Fleet
    
  The Mk IV was vastly more powerful, using the latest FWL 
  drive system.  The FWL-1 could maintain high warp speeds for 
  prolonged periods and gave the Tangent sufficient power to take on 
  most modern enemy destroyers.  But the extra power did come with a 
  price.  The engineering space needed to be enlarged to handle the 
  new drive, reducing superstructure and available internal space.  New 
  weapons and shielding required a more powerful computer.  The M-
  3b, the latest in Multitronic-Isolenear computer systems was difficult to 
  maintain, but gave the Tangent class nearly twice the firepower.
    
  The Mk IV remain in service, and 10 more are planned 
  before construction is finished.  Of the 43 so far built, 39 remain in 
  active service.  1 Mk I was destroyed by Klingon forces.  1 Mk I and 1 
  Mk II were scrapped, also after combat.  1 Mk I was sold to Darran V 
  Defense Force.  The Tangent is produced at Morena at a rate of 2 per 
  year.

  KAREKH CLASS II SCOUT
  NOTES:
  Known Sphere of Operation: Federation Interior
   
  The Karekh Class explorer is a Vulcan-designed and 
  manufactured exploration vessel.  This class was designed 
  specifically for mapping space and performing related duties.  As a 
  result, the Karekh has an unusually powerful computer for a starship 
  of its size.  It is not a particularly well-known class, but it is very well 
  suited for its mission.  The vessel's overall reliability is one of its 
  greatest strengths.  The interior configuration is similar to the more 
  common Mission Class, except that the Karekh has two decks 
  instead of three.
    
  As part of its mapping and patrol procedures, the Karekh 
  locates new planetary systems.  After detecting a new system, the 
  explorer investigates further and determines whether the planet is 
  suitable for colonization, or needs further evaluation by a more fully-
  equipped starship.  Karekhs have made a great deal of celestial 
  discoveries and first contacts, a source of satisfaction for Star Fleet 
  and the ship's Vulcan builders.
    
  One notable difference between the Karekh Mk I and 
  other Star Fleet explorers and scouts was the vessels total lack of 
  weaponry.  This characteristic made the sip very popular with Vulcan 
  crews (for whom it was originally designed) and less popular with 
  most other races.  In particular, no Andorians would willingly serve 
  aboard a Karekh Mk I.
    
  Because is was unarmed, there were certain restrictions 
  placed on the duties performed by many Karekhs.  The Mk I was 
  generally used to patrol, monitor and explore 'safe' regions within 
  the Federation, especially area not deemed important enough to 
  warrant a larger vessel.  The Mk I's FSB deflector shields are still 
  considered adequate protection against most unknown dangers, 
  and the ship's high speed protected it from most anything it could 
  not handle via peaceful means.
    
  None the less, Star Fleet Command felt that the vessel's 
  operational life would be best served by arming the small scout.
  The Mk II saw almost no change in the overall design with the 
  addition of two banks of FH-2's added.  In typical Vulcan fashion, the 
  weapons were more efficiently mounted and required no other sub-
  system additions.  The Mk II was no combat vessel, but could 
  defend it self against pirate vessels and discourage other hostiles if 
  need be.  Only half of all Mk I's have been converted, with many 
  Vulcan captains preferring to pilot the un-armed version.  
    
  Most Karekhs serve with the Galactic Exploration 
  Command, though a small number have also been assigned to the 
  Merchant Marines and other Commands.  The design is currently 
  being examined for the possibility of upgrading to a larger and more 
  powerful Mk III variant.
    
  Of the 130 Karekhs built, 90 are still serving with the 
  Galactic Exploration Command, including 45 Mk I's and 45 Mk II's.
  17 Mk I's are serving with the Merchant Marine Command, 3 Mk I's 
  are used by Star Fleet Training Command and 12 Mk II's are 
  assigned to Star Fleet Intelligence.  Of the remainder, 2 Mk I's have 
  been destroyed, 1 Mk I is listed and missing and 5 Mk I's have been 
  sold to private individuals.
    
  The Karekh, manufactured at Vulcan, is no longer in 
  production.  In the event the Karekh is upgraded to a Mk III variant, 
  modifications will be made at the Sol IV and Vulcan shipyards.

  NOTES:
  Federation Wide Use
   
  These vessels have been named in honor of an early 
  Vulcan scientist and explorer.  K'Kmarak vessels carry on in the 
  tradition of their namesakes.  All ships in this class are designed for 
  extended stays and therefore have large living quarters and 
  working areas.
    
  The K'Kmarak was developed as a research ship only.  It 
  was never intended for combat and only carries its phaser 
  compliment to meet with Star Fleet regulations.  No ships in the 
  research or exploration missions are allowed to travel without 
  minimum weapons.
    
  When the Mk I was first commissioned, the need for a 
  research vessel in the rimward areas of the Federation was 
  greatest.  As each ship in this class was completed, it was sent to 
  this area to aid in the expansion of the territory.  The K'Kmarak was 
  instrumental in mapping this great expanse of space and in 
  establishing contact with heretofore unknown races.
   All ships of this type have the most extensive laboratory facilities 
  aboard any Star Fleet scout.  They are capable of performing the 
  most intricate of planetary studies and have monitored and 
  recorded several novas.
   
  It was during on of these investigation that a K'Kmarak 
  class vessel, the USS T'Pool (NCC 24307) was engulfed by a 
  stellar explosion that covered 1200 A.U.'s in 20 hours.  Luckily for 
  the Vulcans aboard, their ship was caught up in a solar wind of 
  phenomenal proportions and pushed away from the main thrust of 
  the radiation.  When all had settled, the T'Pool was still intact and 
  flight worthy.  The crew, however, had suffered within a few days.  
  The ship wandered about for several weeks after when the 
  shockwave damaged the navigational sub-systems, until it was 
  discovered by the USS Agnicourt (NCC 4314), a Larson Class 
  destroyer dispatched to locate the T'Pool.  The crew were beamed 
  aboard and the T'Pool was left adrift with marker beacons on, 
  warning any approaching vessel to stay away.  When ships were 
  dispatched to recover the hulk, it was nowhere to be found and has 
  not been seen or heard of since.
   
  All in all, the K'Kmarak class has served it purpose well 
  and is still in service today.  It should be noted that all K'Kmarak 
  class ships are still crewed exclusively by Vulcans.

  Notes:
   
  The Monarch Class Deep Space Freighter is one of the 
  oldest ship types in existence.  Originally a Klingon design, this 
  freighter class has found its way into every region of know space 
  and has been adapted by nearly every space faring navy to date.
   The Monarch is a P-type (Pusher) freighter capable of mounting 
  adaptors to transport most types of cargo container pods.  This has 
  made the sip a favorite for crews, as it is able to drop its cargo in 
  emergency situations and gain higher rates of speed and 
  maneuverability.
   
  The design of the Monarch has three major drawbacks.  
  The first is it's lack of sufficient shielding in the area around the warp 
  engine.  Most of the shielding problems have been overcome by 
  adding extra shielding and/or higher pay for crewmembers to endure 
  the potential dangers of radiation.  Second, the inability to separate 
  the warp field coils from the main hull has always been a problem 
  and is not correctable in this design.  The third drawback for this ship 
  is the lack of hard points for weapons.  The original manufacture of 
  this ship was for civil use and as a military transport.  As a transport, 
  the Monarch was not intended to ever operate without armed escort.
  In its civil role, designers were not overly concerned with its welfare.
  This deficiency has been overcome with the addition of weapon 
  mounting points by those owners who have wished to arm their 
  vessels.
   
  It must be remembered that this is a commercial vessel 
  and is no longer in active production by government contracts and 
  therefore any modification are made by the owners past or present.
  This make for a wide variety of Monarchs in use.  The Mk XXVI was 
  licensed by Monarch Industries and were built throughout the 
  Federation, Orion Colonies and within the Triangle.  Over 1800 were 
  built and registered by Star Fleet.  To date, 103 have been 
  destroyed, 16 are listed as missing, 28 have been scrapped, 71 
  have been captured by a wide variety of adversaries, 10 are used as 
  training vessels within the Federation and nearly 1200 have been 
  sold to various contractors and independent haulers.  License of the 
  Monarch design still resides with Monarch Industries who 
  occasionally sell construction rights to larger transport firms.

  ZEUS CLASS III ROBOT FREIGHTER
  Notes:
   
  The Zeus Class, unlike other automated freighters, was designed solely 
  as a robot trasport.  She has no crew quarters, and only the first three decks (the so-
  called conning tower) are designated for Human use.  Deck 1 is an auxilary bridge, to 
  be used only wneh it is either impossible or undesirable for the computer to 
  manuever the ship, as in comlex docking manuevers.  Deck 2 is a small lounge with 
  table and a food synthesizer, designed for the comfort of the cargo-handlers; the 
  synthesizer is not designed for long journeys.
   
  Historians have noted the amazing similarity between the Zeus and the 
  old-style DY-100/500 series of the early 21st century.  The original designer of the 
  Zeus liked the lines of the old DY series ships so much that he incorporated them in 
  the new design.  The major difference is that the Zeus has one warp engine instead 
  of a primitive, space normal chemical or fusion engine.
   
  To date, 1273 Zeus Class transports have been built.  Star Fleet has 
  purchased 435 and 416 are still running today.  Of the rest, about 750 are still in 
  operation with major shipping companies.  Of those destroyed, the most notable was 
  the Woden (NCC-B39068).  The M-5 controlled Enterprise destroyed the vessel 
  during the war games held to test that infamous computer.

  NILRON CLASS V Freighter
  NOTES:
   
  The Mk II version is a robot freighter, and requires an M-1 
  computer for the extra control.  The Mk I version has a personnel pod 
  attached, but has the simpler M-1a computer installed.  There is no 
  provisions for shuttle storage in the ship, but a shuttle landing pad is 
  provided, with in-space transfer through a flexible airlock tunnel.
   
  Only 254 of the 1046 Nilron ships have been built for crew use.  
  Star Fleet does not own any of the Nilron Class vessels.  Approcimately 
  730 of the robot version Mk IIs are still in service, mostly in the fleets of 
  major trading companies.  Only about 210 of the Mk I manned versoions 
  are still in operation.

  Notes:
   
  The Cosmos Royale class of luxury liner was the first 
  general design financed by Kinglines Corporation of Ectair, a planet 
  found deep within the "Outmarch" regions boardering the Gorn and 
  Romulan spheres of influence.  Although officially of Ectairairn 
  registry, the first Cosmos Royale was built and commissioned at 
  Monera shipyards, were 6 other liners were built.  A seventh, built 
  at Salazzar, was also registered with Kinglines, who quickly built a 
  popular tourist run to several planetary systems within the 
  Outmarch region.
   
  The Mk I proved as popular as the destinations that 
  Kinglines serviced.  Over 100 grand royal suites and 120 luxury 
  suites were complemented by a full range of entertainment and 
  business facilities.  Kinglines provided both 1 month and 3 month 
  getaways from Ectair that were comparable to the best that 
  Federation companies could provide.
   
  But the Mk I's opulence was also considered a major 
  short coming for Kinglines.  While all 8 commissioned vessels 
  easily broke even with costs, Kinglines rarely posted a profit, a 
  major frustration for investors.  It most popular run was to Vedia VI, 
  a fabulously beautiful gas giant surrounded by a massive silicate 
  and ice ring system purported to be the most appealing for 100 
  parsecs.  While the Vedia system was uninhabited, it lay 
  dangerously close to Romulan territory.  Profits were often reduced 
  with the need to escort vessels.  Political turmoil on Ectair also took 
  it's tolls on profits, and by 2286, Kinglines posted is first loss.
   
  Tellarite Mining, Inc. took an interest in the Kinglines 
  problem in 2287.  TMI had several mining operation in the Vedia 
  system and offered to subsidize the construction of three more 
  Cosmos Royale liners.  The Mk II was first launched in 2289 and 
  was the economic boost that Kinglines was looking for.  The Mk II 
  reduced the number of passengers, but fitted out all of it's berths as 
  luxury suites and made room for 200 SCU of ore and supplies.
  TMI was able to place a small supply station at Vedia VI and both 
  companies quickly profited from the arrangement.
    
  Currently, 10 Cosmos Royales are still in service.  Two 
  more are scheduled to be launched in the near future.  Kinglines 
  has announced that no further liners will be built.  1 Mk I was sold 
  to Axros, and Edoan entertainment firm, and is registered out of 
  Rigley's Pleasure Planet.  A Mk III is planned when profits allow an 
  upgrade of the Mk I.  Heavier weapons and shielding are planned
  to alleviate the need for escorts near Vedia.  Rumors abound that 
  Kinglines may sell the Cosmos Royale design in the near future.
  COSMOS ROYALE CLASS X LUXURY LINER
  
  CHAMELEON CLASS I TRADER
   
  The Chameleon Class ship is a modified version of an 
  older scout ship design.  The cargo pod is detachable, and can 
  be removed at a starport, at any landing site, or even jettisoned in 
  flight.
   
  Of the 833 Mk IIs built, 282 are in service with Star Fleet 
  as one-man scout/resupply transports.  Approximately 420 Mk IIs 
  are in the private sector, with the remainder lost or destroyed 
  over the years.

  SUNSHINE CLASS VII PASSENGER LINER
  Note:
   
  The Sunshine class passenger liner is considered the most luxurious commercially 
  available transport in the Federation.  The service is ranked among the best, the staterooms are 
  considered some of the finest, the gambling is honest (most of the time) and prices are the 
  highest.  Regular accomodation staterooms are affordable for most vacationers, and waiting lists 
  can be up to one year long for passage on a round trip ticket.  These staterooms are somparable 
  to those found on many ocean-going luxury vessels throughout the Federation.  The Royal Suites, 
  however, have to be seen to be believed.  Some of these suites have private physical fitness 
  centers with staff, and the largest suite on the vessel even had their own private pools.
   
  The Sunshine class is equipped with deflectors fo minimal combat strength, instead 
  of just the normal navigational deflectors.  Although these ships do not operate in hostile area, 
  there is always the risk or pirates, so the deflectors awere inforporate inot the design.  No 
  offensive weaponry is carried for ship-to-ship combat, but hand weaponry is carried aboard, 
  locked in several small arms lockers.
   
  Of the 60 Mk Is completed, only 1 has been scrapped after being attacked by pirates 
  operating near Andor.  The USS Nova Watcher had both her engines destroyed and was forced to 
  eject her warp core.  Subsequent boarding action by the pirates resulted in the loss of the 
  boarding party, the capture of two pirate commando's and the loss of the attacking vessel when 
  Star Fleet security forces responded to the Nova Watcher's mayday.  No passengers were hurt 
  and no other Sunshine class has been attacked since.

  MISSION CLASS II COMMERCIAL TRANSPORT
  Notes:
   
  The Mk IV Mission Class ship is a version of the Mk I 
  Mission class scout, modified for cargo carrying.  The top deck is 
  given over to engineering, whereas the middle deck contains crew 
  quarters and lounge.  The lower deck contains the bridge, 
  transporter, and cargo area.
   
  Thus far, 682 Mission Class commercial transports have 
  been built, with 238 reamining in Star Fleet service.  Of the 
  remainder, about 400 are still operating in private hands, with the 
  rest listed as lost or destroyed.  Of these, the most famous is the 
  John Paul Jones (NCC-61001) which vanished without a trace 
  while reputedly carrying a large cache of valuable gems.  Legends 
  about the John Paul Jones persist, even though the tales are 
  though to be apocryphal.

  ARGON CLASS III MEDIUM COMMERCIAL TRANSPORT
   
  The Argon is a sturdy freighter.  The ship's designers 
  decided that merchants didn't want to pay for fancy curves, but 
  were instead interested in cargo space.  That philosophy had 
  paid off, as over 900 Argons have been produced.  The top deck 
  is bridge, living quarters, transporters and recreation lounge.  The 
  lower deck is actually three decks high and can be partitioned off 
  to the owner's tastes.
   
  Of the 934 built, 135 Mk Is and 147 Mk IIs are in service 
  with Star Fleet.  At last count, approximately 140 Mk Is and 380 
  Mk IIs are in private hands.  The rest are listed as lost, destroed, 
  or stolen.

  Notes:
  The Grayson Class repair tenders were 
  designed to fill the need for full-time navigational 
  beacon repair.  The first assignments were well within 
  Federation territory, and therefore the first models 
  were unarmed.  However, after several unpleasant 
  encounters with pirates and marauders, it was decided 
  to give the Grayson weapons for defensive purposes.
  This light armament in no way makes the Grayson 
  Class ships combat vessels, but it allows for their use 
  as patrol ships in their duty areas.
   
  The design of this tender incorporates an 
  assembly-line style repair facility that is detachable 
  from the main hull in case of emergencies, which 
  usually take the form of escaping adversarys with 
  overwhelming firepower.  As with all Federation ships, 
  the warp engine can be seperated from the main hull 
  to protect the crew and allow escape from a plasma 
  overload.
   
  Duty aboard a Grayson is not the most 
  cherished in Star Fleet.  Considered to be boring and 
  unglamorous, beacon repair duty is usually reserved 
  for those who have performed badly in the past and 
  are being given a second chance and for new ship 
  commanders and junior officers.
   
  The Grayson has ended it production run with 
  a total of 140 Mk V's being constructed.  Although 
  there is talk of a more heavily armed Mk VI, no 
  contracts have yet been authorized.  Of the 140 Mk 
  V's built, 6 have been destroyed, 4 have been 
  scrapped, 1 has been declared missing and 30 have 
  been sold.  The Grayson was produced at the Sol IV 
  production facility.

  Known Sphere of Operation: Federation Interior 
   
  Developed by a joint commercial venture 
  between Rantura Shipping Lines and Chiokis Starship 
  Construction, the Samson Class X warp tender is 
  designed primarily to provide warp mobility to all R-1 
  Type stations.  
   
  The Mk I dedicated so much of it's power to 
  creating the enlarged warp field around both ship and 
  station that if was felt weapons were impractical for the 
  vessel.  Likewise, only minimal shields were installed 
  on the Mk I.  The initial concept also had most 
  Samsons operating directly from fontline bases near 
  construction centers where they could quickly link up 
  with R-1 components and transfer them to their final 
  destination.
   
  Duty aboard the Mk I Samson was far from 
  glorious, and often extremely uneventful.  Even at best 
  possible speed, transfer of an R-1 station could take 
  months, and in several cases years.  Luxurious crew 
  quarters and spacious recreation facilities could not 
  belay the tedious nature of the opearation.  With 
  growing military tension between the Federation and 
  the Klingon Empire at the time, Star Fleet began 
  planning an upgarde to the existing Mk I in the hopes of 
  creating a more powerful version.
   
  The Mk II Samson  was considered only a 
  moderate success, but did fulfill the contract 
  requirements.  The use of the FWG-1 drive required a 
  larger engineering crew to maintain and monitor the 
  more powerful drive, but increase the overall speed 
  significatntly.  The instillation of the FH-13 phaser 
  system also gave the Samsons the ability to conduct 
  moderate combat operations in the event that it's 
  escorts were unable to fend off enemy units.  Crew 
  quarters were slimmed down and nearly 40 additional 
  cabins were installed to allow the transfer of skelleton 
  crews with the stations.  This allowed the stations to be 
  brought on line faster and more efficiently.
   
  The Samson is still produced at a rate of 2 
  every three years.  Currently, plan call for an additional 
  24 to be completed.  Of the 32 so far built, none have 
  been lost.  On Mk I was sold to Entertainment 
  Industries to help support their R-1 Recreational facility 
  in the Vilmas system.
