History[]
Technical data[]
Auxiliary complement[]
- One Type 38 shuttlecraft
- Unknown number of escape pods
Propulsion[]
Miscellaneous engineering data[]
The warp core of this class was constructed of over 200 elements, both natural and synthetic, and also had no need for magnetic confinement due to special fuel injection processes. Furthermore, it also emitted omicron radiation during its operation, which is extremely rare and can only be created by certain forms of matter-antimatter reactions.
Sub-light[]
Crimson light class vessels are equipped with a Newtonian-thrust-based reaction system powered by fusion reactors using deuterium fuel to create helium plasma. This type of starship employs a enhanced and reinforced drive system enabling maximum speeds of 0.25 percent c/the speed of light. Furthermore, it vents plasma through electroporous plates in order to minimize the ship's ion and/or EM signature.
FTL[]
Warp[]
Starships of this configuration possess a Federation standard warp drive that functions through running highly energised plasma through the unique composition of the warp coils thereby creating a subspace field ie; a discrete bubble of subspace is temporarily merged into normal space around the exterior of the craft. To explain the phenomena, under normal circumstances subspace and normal space do not interact, but the high amount of energy and the unique properties of the warp coils contained in the curved nacelles allows a "blending" of the dimensions, surrounding the ship in the aforementioned subspace field. By manipulating the way plasma is moved through the warp coils, they alter the nature of the subspace field, such as causing it to move in a specific direction therefore actually accelerating the subspace "bubble" to faster-than-light velocities without violating laws of relativity as the ship contained within the field is technically stationary.
The maximum speed of Crimson light class starships was Warp Factor 9.9995 which is 53,254.35 times the speed of light or 1 light year/per 9.6 minutes or 10 light years/per 1.6 hours. Cruising speed is Warp 9.982 which is 5,940.67 times the speed of light or 1 light year per 1.48 hours and 10 light years every 14.76 hours.
Transwarp[]
Vessels of this class are fitted with a Transwarp coil allowing the formation of a Tri-quantum conduit rift. It utilized a combination of the traditional warp drive, navigational deflector and deflector shields as its components with the ship having to be taken to warp factor 2.3 to generate the initial required subspace field before the navigational deflector used a tachyon matrix to emit tachyonic bursts on a high-energy band. The deflector shield of the ship was used to emit the tachyon bursts into space at the resonant transwarp frequency level. The subspace field of the conduit then formed in front of the ship.
The Transwarp coil design utilized solid trilithium that retains integrity for workable periods of time and a process of extreme refinement of standard dilithium allowed the use of the advanced compacted flow of energy required by the transwarp drive. Generated transwarp conduits radiate high neutrino emissions accompanied by an intermittent graviton flux and a chroniton field is projected throughout a Crimson light class ship interior in order to compensate for temporal stress.
The maximum speed is known to be 1,000,000 – 10,000,000 times the speed of light allowing for extremely rapid travel to any of the four quadrants of the Milky Way galaxy.
Energy generation[]
Ships of this class are powered by a type 47 antimatter x matter warp core which generated enormous quantities of electricity through controlled explosive collisions releasing pure light (energy) which is then harnessed directly into FTL as well as several other major systems. This is specifically accomplished via annihilation of equal parts matter and antimatter using a combination of deuterium (a hydrogen atom containing a proton and a neutron in its nucleus) and anti-deuterium (essentially a deuterium atom, whose atomic properties are exactly reversed from those of a normal deuterium atom). It is regulated through a matrix of magnets and Dilithium as well as it uses a recrystallization unit in the form of a theta-matrix compositor which used high-energy photons and gamma radiation.
Furthermore, these vessels also utilise a series of impulse cores comprised out of a network of multiple spherical fusion reactors that are fueled by Deuterium and make use of a nuclear fusion process to generate energised plasma that is then distributed along a polaric conduit managed EPS grid.
Life support/Crew support systems[]
Crimson light class vessels utilise an artificial gravitational field generator facilitated through Duranium sheets lined in the interior deck plates. The levels of gravity produced were modulated by a graviton stabilizer and typically produced Earth standard gravimetric forces: 0.99 g.
To protect from damage caused by approaching a star or entering the atmosphere of a planet, this type utilised a standard Federation heat shield consisting of a thermal deflector unit. This is seperate from the vessels deflector shield.
To mitigate radiation damage to both the crew and ship systems, Crimson light class ships have a seperate protective system independent from the main deflector shields which use a double lattice layer consisting of semi-fluidic material designed to safely absorb the energy of the radiation.
Like all FTL capable vessels, Crimson light class ships require the use of an advanced inertia dampening system to counter the effects of rapid acceleration and deceleration by sustaining and absorbing the natural inertia of such a vessel as it moved through space in sub-light or warp velocities.
The structural integrity system is an application of EM field technology allowing the mechanical integrity of the physical space-frame of a Crimson light class starship to be augmented. This system provides a network of polarised forcefield segments that compensate for propulsive and other structural stress factors that otherwise exceed the design limits of the space-frame or to assist in the compensation of weapon fire. EM field generation for the SIF is provided by a number of field generators.
The ship has a recycling oxygenation system that used a synthetic fiber-based technology creating an artificial ecosystem of nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and other gases, while taking in carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew and purifying it.
All vessels of this class are provided with current Federation standard replicator systems/hubs as a means of producing necessary items such as food, clothing, medication and virtually anything else required. The menu is only limited by the programming but cannot replicate certain material such as Latinum, programmable matter, antimatter or Dilithium. Additionally, biofilters automatically screen out all contaminants before alerting the ship's computer and then use programmable matter to break down the harmful element unless otherwise ordered. Replicators are fueled by the vessel's bulk matter supply described as the base material which is then deconstructed on the atomic level and then reformed using magnets and matter-energy-matter conversion technology. It used Nitrium in the construction of components for the replicator hubs. It was entirely self-recycling as any leftovers would be deconstructed back into bulk matter and all metabolic waste produced by the crew would be stored as well for future replication.
Ship transporter systems functioned via matter-energy-matter conversion meaning a person or object is reduced into an energy pattern, then sending ("beaming" - possibly through quantum entanglement) it to a target location or else returning it to the transporter, where it is re-converted into matter. In doing so, the target matter is discorporated into a vibrant blue particle facsimile and the entire process takes less than a second. When used, a transporter left residual ionization in the air that can be isolated and traced. Additionally, transporters have bio-filters to remove contagious microbes or viruses from an organic subject mid-transport. The maximum range was 70,000 kilometers which was a 75 percent increase from the 24th century limit and was 172 percent greater than the range of 25,749.504 kilometers during the 23rd century.
Tactical[]
- Tractor beam: It features multiple tractor beam emitters, described as multiphasic graviton transmitters, which project a beam of attenuated gravity outward at a target thus allowing the manipulation of its trajectory - either to attract or repel. Specifically, they are positioned: two forward, one aft and one ventral.
Stealth systems[]
The class is equipped with a highly advanced cloaking device that was proclaimed "perfect." It emitted no tachyons and left no residual anti-protons, the two ways that a cloaked ship could be tracked and located. Thus, when cloaked, a Crimson light class vessel was virtually impossible to locate except to a select handful of individuals within the Federation using the built in beacon operating on a classified and secure subspace frequency.
Defensive systems[]
- Deflector shields: For protection, Crimson light class vessels utilise a projected matrix of multi-layered energetic EM distortion infused with graviton particles that help absorb kinetic impacts and energy discharge. Additionally, the resident magnetic resonance is self-modulating therefore making it harder to determine the static frequency of the shield perimeter.
Weapon systems[]
Phasers[]
Primarily, it is equipped with several arrays of phaser strip-type emitter banks that fire pulsed beams of directed tetryon plasma particle discharge at a target using an automatic frequency rotation program to continuously and periodically alter the vibrational component thereby combating enemy adaptation.
Torpedoes[]
Secondly, it is armed with two torpedo launch banks: one afte, one fore, which shoot-out self propelled and non tracking torpedoes fitted with a matter x antimatter warhead. The complement of which is fifteen photon torpedoes of the type 7 variety that has an explosive yield of 25 isotons or 62 megatons Industrial replicators are capable of fabricating replacement torpedoes and then it is a simple matter of inserting the non-replicable fuel ie: antimatter.
