Starfleet border patrol ship
Posted: Sat Jul 11, 2015 12:26 pm
Since I've been in the mood for Starfleet ships of late...
Intended to be a contemporary of the Constitutions. Designed to be small, fast, used for relatively short-duration missions. Can deal with pirates and raiders, act as a scout, patrol disputed areas, etc. Specs below.
AFFILIATION
United Federation of Planets - Starfleet
TYPE
Border Patrol Ship
CLASS
Sentinel
UNIT RUN
19 built
DIMENSIONS
Length 77.54 m
Beam 43 m
Height 27.67 m
Primary Hull DIam. 21.5 m
Nacelle Length 35.5 m
CREW
8 Officers, 76 Enlisted
STL PROPULSION
2 x Mk 18 Impulse engines
FTL PROPULSION
3 x TBR-9 Matter/Antimatter Warp Nacelles
Cruise speed : W/F 7
Maximum cruise : W/F 9.5
Design Limit : W/F 11
ARMAMENT
4 x Type VIII phasers in two banks
2 x T-6 photon torpedo tubes
AUXILIARY CRAFT
1 x Class F shuttlecraft
NOTES
Designed for border patrol and scouting in disputed zones, the Sentinels are small, fast, highly agile craft. They are capable of holding warp 7 indefinitely, and can accelerate to as high as warp 11 for short periods. Although not heavily armed compared to the Constitution class cruisers, the Sentinels do pack a powerful punch for such a small vessel with two Type VIII phaser banks and two full sized photon torpedo tubes. Shielding is light, however.
The interior fit of the Sentinels is designed to be "sparse". Only the Captain and Executive officer rate private berths, with the other officers sharing twin cabins; senior Enlisted personnel are in quad cabins, and all others in barracks-style accomodation. There are two small messes, one for officers and one for Enlisted personnel. Food synthesiser stocks are limited to thirty days with a full crew, though food endurance can be - and often is - extended by carrying stocks of emergency rations. The ship has no diplomatic facilities or scientific laboratories.
A single Class F shuttlecraft is carried in an internal garage at the rear of the engineering hull.
