Akira class 2 (31st century)

The Akira class is a Federation starship design type in service to Starfleet of a possible 31st century.

History[]

Technical data[]

Life support[]

  1. Oxygen generators
  2. Inertial dampeners
  3. Gravity plating
  4. Heat shield
  5. Radiation shield

Mission Profile[]

With extensive torpedo armament and dedicated facilities to hold combat-capable small craft, the Akira class heavy cruiser serves ably as both direct combatant and as a carrier.

During peacetime, the classes large hangar bays allow it to carry scout shuttlecraft and runabouts on long-range missions, which expand its exploratory capabilities significantly.

Additionally, the large cargo and hanger bays enable it to be well-suited to resupplying outlying scientific outposts or setting up field camps for research expeditions. Otherwise, these ships don’t often find themselves venturing too far beyond Federation space unless on specific missions.

The Akira-class is not meant as a diplomatic platform for couriering ambassadorial envoys but it's place in Federation diplomacy is in being extremely adept at taking down raiders and other threats to potential allies, and so its presence in a star system can be deeply reassuring during negotiations, or it can serve as a reminder of the Federation’s strength to hostile powers.

Propulsion[]

The engine core of this class was constructed of over 200 elements, and had no need for magnetic confinement due to special fuel injection processes.

Sub-light[]

The class has sub-light drives consisting of nuclear fusion powered engine in which the plasma from the fusion reactor fuels a massive magnetic coil to propel the ship. It is a form of magnetohydrodynamic or magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters.

FTL[]

It is fitted with a class 11A warp engine that works by generating warp fields to form a sub-space bubble around the exterior thus distorting spacetime and moving the ship at speeds far excess of the speed of light.

The maximum speed is warp factor 44.42 which is 87,646.72 times the speed of light or 10 light year/per hour.

Tactical[]

  • Tractor beam generators: It is equipped with tractor beam emitters that can project a beam of gravity outward at a target thus allowing the manipulation of its trajectory.

Weapon systems[]

Torpedo overview[]

Akira class vessels are armed with one torpedo launch bank and six port tubes that shoot out self-propelled torpedoes each equipped with either quantum or polaron warheads inspired by the Dominion.

It's complement of which is 225 quantum and 225 polaron.

Phaser overview[]

It is secondly armed with three phaser arrays consisting of strip emitters and six port cannons that fire pulsed beams of nadion particle discharge at a target.

Defensive systems[]

  • Deflector shields: It is protected by deflector shields composed out of electromagnetic energy infused with gravitational waves. They absorb kinetic impacts and energy discharge for a limited time.

Stealth systems[]

The class was equipped with multi-spectral emitters that projected an image onto a light field. They were used to manufacture disguises capable of evading detection by both bioscanners and the naked eye, and thus were more useful than cloaks, which could not fool most scans like anti-proton or tachyon.

Embarked support crafts[]

It has a total of two shuttlebays complete with twelve shuttles and two runabouts including:

  1. One Holiday class
  2. Two Aerowing class
  3. Seven Houston class
  4. Four Los Angeles class

Trivia[]

  • The exterior design highly resembles that of 22nd century Vissian starships.
