Narcine class

The Narcine class is a type of cruiser used by the Xindi-Aquatic species from the 22nd century onwards. When the Xindi Council emerged from self-imposed exile in 2410 following the Undine attacks on Earth Spacedock and Qo'noS, the ship was reclassified as a dreadnought carrier. (Template:E; Template:G) HistoryEdit In 2154 a Narcine-class starship allied with the United Earth Starfleet and Andorian Imperial Guard to stop the Xindi superweapon after it was commandeered by the Xindi-Reptilians, and carried the Template:Pre into the fray. It was disabled by interference from a nearby sphere. Another carried the Enterprise back to Earth after the superweapon was eliminated. (Template:E) The Xindi largely went into self-imposed exile in the Delphic Expanse for over two centuries, but following a massive uptick in Undine activity in late 2409 and early 2410 they emerged and joined the war effort, sending Narcine- and Template:Class ships into the battle against the Undine and the Iconians manipulating interstellar events from the shadows. (Template:Web) Technical dataEdit The Narcine-class was in the kilometer-plus size range, five times the size of a United Earth Template:Class starship. (Template:E [script notation]) It featured a large hangar bay in the primary section that could carry other ships within. In the early 25th century its complement included a quartet of Template:Class frigates. (Template:E; Template:G) The overall structure of the Narcine-class remained essentially unchanged from the 22nd century to the 25th but the class went through a number of refit cycles to keep it competitive with current designs. By 2410 the ship was armed with a cascade resonance catalyst device in addition to its conventional weapons, which was able to damage enemy vessels and weaken their defenses for further attacks. (Template:Web) Interior designEdit Narcine-ships had at least one small room where oxygen-breathing humanoids could come aboard and communicate with the Aquatic crew. A round window was located between this room and the Aquatics' domain. (Template:E)
