Intrepid Class Ships

     In 2371, the second Intrepid class ship was launched, U.S.S. Voyager. Intrepid class ships are smaller then a Galaxy class ship. The ship is more maneuverable then other starships.

     Intrepid class ships are one of the fastest ships currently in Starfleet. The ships a normal cruising warp factor of Warp 6. The ships can travel at Warp 9 sustainable. They can maintain Warp 9.975 for up to 12 hours.

     The warp nacelles are of a new configuration. In sublight speeds, the nacelles are in a lowered position. At warp speeds, the nacelles raise up into the traditional configuration. This allows the warp field not to damage the fabric of space.

     The ships are capable of carrying enough antimatter and deterium to last three years.

     Intrepid class ships are armed with several phaser arrays and a complement of quantum torpedoes.

     The ships are capable of landing on a planet. The strain of the landing is absorbed by the structural integrity field and the ground hover footpad system. The warp drive is taken offline and the plasma is vented. The ship proceeds to go into Code Blue before landing.

     The ships are equipped with two computer cores. One is located near the center of the primary hull. The other core is located in the engineering hull. The computer system is run by isolinear chips and bioneural get packs.

Main Shuttlebay

     Intrepid class ships may be smaller then other Starfleet ships, but they maintain extensive facilities for support craft.

     The Main Shuttlebay is located in the aft part of the ship between Decks 9 and 10.

     Aboard U.S.S. Voyager, the Delta Flyer was constructed in the Main Shuttlebay.

Sensor Systems

     Intrepid Class ships feature powerful sensors. Two very large sensor platforms are located on the top of the ships. The upper sensor platform is located vehubf the auxiliary deflector. The aft sensor platform is located between the bridge and the aft torpedo launcher.

     Further aft are the port and starboard engineering hull sensor arrays. These arrays are used primarily for navigation and tactical controls.

The Lower Decks

     The lower decks aboard the ships do not feature the same lighting and feature as the upper decks. Lighting is provided by wall strips of lights. The lower decks are 12-15.

     Decks 12-15 house a great deal of major systems including the antimatter storage, escape pods, and the tractor beam emitters. Very few crew members work on these decks as space is cramped.

     Deck 15 is very narrow. The crew complement is the smallest here then any other deck. The deck is quite noisy from the noise from the ship’s engines among other systems.
