NCC-52749 USS Artania

  • Built: Sirius Fleet Yards; Keel layed down 18 May 2352, completed 23 December 2352.

The last ship of the Saladin-class to be laid down due to the end of the war on 10 June 2352, the USS Artania was named after a famous Rigellian general. While some changes to the design were carried out due to the end of the war, it was largely built to template and launched in late December. It's refit was carried out in the Utopia Planetia Yards, as many of the ship's crew transferred from the destroyed USS Yinghwa, an Marvel-class starship, with the sole exception being it's captain, Captain Sekahic kr'Trialian, a hero of the Cardassian Liberation War, who was transferred from the nearly totally destroyed USS Indefitagable, a Belka-class starship.

Footnotes

  1. ↑ This was one of the first ships to receive an engine completely designed after the re-calibration.
  2. ↑ While many think tanks were trying to increase the maximum impulse speed from .45c without incurring relativistic dilation, no one had successfully done so, and the speed reached in 2195 was still the standard across most of the known galaxy
  3. ↑ This was a referent to Earth's gravity, which was the median value when measured. At this time, the impulse engines were unable to accelerate a ship to max speed in under 71 minutes. Often, though, the idea is that it got you to the usability of the warp drive rather than having to rely on impulse engines to accelerate to max speed. However, the limiting factor in this case was the inertial dampeners not being able to handle acceleration over that velocity. That said, in an emergency, Saladin-class starships could reach 3300 gravities, but it would place severe strain on the SIF and inertial dampeners. Such speeds were referred to as 'maximum military acceleration', and required specific authorization logged after the war.
  4. ↑ The Mark XXI was introduced in 2349, and was noted for the fact it could be uprated for more destructive power or other aids as the situation would dictate. It would become the mainstay of the fleet until the introduction of the Mk II Quantum Torpedoes in 2361 to the heavier units of the fleet, and even then, would serve until the Mark XXII was rolled out in 2390. While before the war ships often didn't have specific class launchers, the need to standardize launchers fleet wide while still allowing variations for individual ships in the fleet required in the so called 'class and mark' launchers. This made it possible for a ship of the Andorian Imperial Guard to use Axanarian launchers, for example.
  5. ↑ After the end of the Cardassian Liberation War, the allotted load out for most ship profiles became 108 to allow for more room for science labs and other non military loadouts. This had the intended result in that the Class V-C rapid fire torpedo launchers were less often used, which often were prone to jamming, and thus man-hours to repair.
  6. ↑ In 2330, Starfleet streamlined the power rating of their phasers and weapons, assigning broad types to denote destructive power. In order to avoid having to redo this at a later date, the types were pinned to a more objective standard. As of 2353, the most powerful weaponry in Starfleet's arsenal was the Type XI weaponry the most powerful starbases boasted. This led to the wry observation that modern computer support meant you could have weaponry with multiple types, marks and ranks since it would keep track of it, and a large faction of the logistics corp seeking to simplify this again.
  7. ↑ The Saladin-class was the last to get these as they were superceded by the Mark CII Narrow-Band Focus Phaser Arcs, which had a much better reputation among both tactical and engineering officers due to the bugs being worked out from the rushed design and implementation of the Mark XCIX/Mark C phasers.
  8. ↑ These phasers were notoriously unreliable - often each ship would end up implementing it's own fixes. If the war hadn't revealed a need for phaser arcs to cover these blind spots, it is likely they never would have left the design board. The USS Artania would have these removed in early 2353 as part of it's peacetime refit to add more useful functions removed due to wartime needs.
  9. ↑ The linear railgun normally present on the Saladin-class starships was removed due to the war ending, and the 2352 Treaty of Organia's provisions about arms control largely led to the removal of many of the physical weaponry mounts on Starfleet, excluding specific specialized ships used for Starfleet's Ground Operations Wing, with the expectation that as those ships aged out of the fleet, the new designs would not retain the weaponry. As of early 2353, the expectation was that no physical ship mounted weaponry would be in fleet by 2370.
  10. ↑ The Oceanic-class was an iteration upgrade of the older Sea-class runabouts, capable of more autonomy and better weaponry. Most crucially was the enhanced ECM/ECCM suite. While there were renewed calls for fighter wings, Starfleet chose to create more uprated smaller and easier to make smaller ship classes, such as the Shimarin variant of the older Miranda class starship.
  11. ↑ The Saladin-class were designated as heavy scouts, often used in counter operations to prevent stealth incursions. Interestingly, the Graviton-Tachyon Mirror originally started life in the older Clauswitz-class variants as an experimental sensor setup, and was the brainchild of three officers.
  12. ↑ The arboretum served triple use - part of the botany research, relaxation for the crew, and used in the life support systems.
  13. ↑ The Artania was intended to be the template for all Akira subclass refits excluding a few on specialized duty.
  14. ↑ The Mod 7 was considered to be the last gasp of the venerable Mark V shield system, first placed on the USS Endeavour in 2293.
  15. ↑ With the weapons systems removed, power was redistributed to many systems, including sensors.
  16. ↑ The life support upgrade as allowed the Artania to carry Ground Operations officers as needed, although they only travelled on the ship when needed or requested.
