![]() ![]() Drawing heavily on the knowledge gained from over six years of flight experience with the NX-class, the Amundsen design used the same revolutionary three-stage plasma acceleration and symmetrical warp field governor technology married to a more modern, light-weight reactor design.Ī major innovation of the Amundsen-class was to move the warp nacelles into close proximity to take advantage of the constructive field interference to produce a more powerful asymmetric field for forward flight whilst reducing the forward cross-sectional area exposed to subspace drag. The Amundsen class was developed during the first two years of the Earth-Romulan war to meet the need for a fast, quick to build scoutship to serve as pickets for Earth fleets defending against their stealthy Romulan adversaries. emergency)Īrmament: 7 phase cannons, 1 photonic torpedo launcherĭefense: 8 plasma point defence guns, polarized hull plating, EM/subspace screens Speed: Warp 5.5 (cruise), Warp 6 (max.), Warp 6.6 (max. The Adamant class had a scheduled 25 year ten vessel production run (2159 - 2184) and lifespan that lasted well into the early 23rd century. She also sported experimental shield arrays fitted for field testing. Armaments included two forward dual mounted torpedo launchers, two aft torpedo launchers, two dorsal and two ventral retractable laser cannons, and two forward and two aft pylon mounted phase cannons. Beyond her scientific abilities Adamant was also armed with a wide array of defensive capabilities designed to get her out of any scrape. Equipped with the latest long range sensor technology, a more powerful deflector array than most Starfleet ships its size, and stores large enough for a 5 year deep space mission, Adamant also touted larger labs and a more diversified science crew than previous Starfleet explorers.Įarly human exploration quickly discovered that the galaxy was a much more dangerous place than initially suspected. The Adamant class was born.Īdamant was especially suited to astrometry and exobiological study beyond the frontier of known space. Speed: Warp 4.5 (cruise), Warp 5.5 (max.)Īrmament: 4 torpedo launchers, 4 laser cannons, 4 phase cannonsīuilding on the successes of the NX class, Starfleet engineers began developing a new class of ship that would be the next step in the exploration of deep space. 21st Century, 22nd Century, Early 23rd Century, LateĢ3rd Century, Early 24th Century, DY Starship Family ![]()
