| + | ===== 4. Inside the Ship ===== | ||
| + | === Bridge === | ||
| + | The bridge, atop its high tower, is an enormous, cavernous space filled with open spaces dotted with stations and consoles. it has two very large viewports which gives the commander a good view of the battle. The ship's captain sits in a special seat in the center of the room which allows him to command efficiently. | ||
| + | === Hangar Bays === | ||
| + | The Hangar bays are two cavernous chambers, taking up ten decks worth each. They are a polished, vibrant white with delicate silver and gold inlays along the walls. There hangar bays can accomodate a ship up to 100 meters long, 75 meters wide, and 50 meters tall. | ||
| + | ===== 5. Ship Systems ===== | ||
| + | ==== Armored Hull and Hull Integrated Systems ==== | ||
| + | The Hull is made from Titanium, with a composite tiled armor over it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The prow section of the ship is made from hardened Duratanium. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Propulsion ==== | ||
| + | The Excelsior has a Terran Warp drive, which allows it to travel at speeds faster than the speed of light, as well as to travel by folding space to shorten distances between two points. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Its main STL propulsion is a set of Ten very large Heavy fusion thrusters, capable of thrusting the ship up to .30c before they simply cannot provide any more momentum. | ||
| + | ==== Power ==== | ||
| + | The Excelsior is powered by ten enormous fusion reactors, each of which is directly linked to an engine, but supplies some of its power to the rest of the ship. | ||
| + | ==== Shield Systems ==== | ||
| + | Aromayeth-type shielding is utilized by the Excelsior. These shields are capable of being endlessly modulated nearly instantaneously, | ||
| + | ==== Weapons Systems ==== | ||
| + | Multi-purpose Guass cannons (10): Heavy Guass cannons which lob projectiles at extremely high fractions of c, allowing them to be explosive out of sheer kinetic energy. These cannons have so much force that they are useful against just about anything. | ||
| + | Range: Theoretically unlimited, usefully 150,000 miles | ||
| + | Damage: High. The Kinetic force of the projectile releases immense amounts of energy upon impact with shields and armor. | ||
| + | Rate of fire: 8 shots per ten seconds | ||
| + | Payload: 10,000 rounds per cannon | ||
| + | |||
| + | Turbolaser Arrays (4): These weapons are dual-barreled anti-starship shield penetrating weapons. They can also be anti-shuttle or used as an active countermeasure against solid projectile ammunitions. | ||
| + | Range: 20,000 miles | ||
| + | Damage: Heavy. Does heavy damage to anything touched by the beam. Damages both shields and armor | ||
| + | Rate of fire: 2 shots every 5 seconds | ||
| + | Payload: Unlimited, as long as the ship provides power | ||
| + | |||
| + | Pulse laser arrays(350): | ||
| + | range: 50 miles | ||
| + | Damage: medium. can hurt both shields and armor, the pulse type shot can be calibrated to specific wavelengths to allow instant deactivation of fighter shields, like an EMP pulse. | ||
| + | Rate of fire: between 10 and 35 pulses per second | ||
| + | Payload: unlimited as long as the ship provides power | ||
| + | Notes: only used on things inside the ships shields unless in an emergency | ||
| + | === Main Weapons === | ||
| + | Reinforced Ramming Prow: The Excelsior has an extremely tough reinforced ramming prow. this section of the ship is devoid of anything except structures strengthening and reinforcing the prow. The prow has been honed to the point of being nearly razor-sharp, | ||
| + | Range: melee | ||
| + | Damage: | ||
| + | Rate of Fire: excruciatingly slow. | ||
| + | Payload: Unlimited, as long as the prow is attached to the ship. | ||
| + | ===== 6. Vehicle Complement ===== | ||
| + | ==== Shuttles ==== | ||
| + | The Excelsior can handle about 100 shuttles | ||
| + | ==== Fighters ==== | ||
| + | The Excelsior has 12 squadrons of fighters, meaning 144 fighters total. | ||
