Technical data

Propulsion

FTL

The class is equipped with an advanced warp drive system powered by a matter x antimatter reactor. It utilises the Alcubierre concept ie: compressing space-time around the exterior.

• The cruising speed is warp factor 5.7 while maximum velocity is warp 7.

Sub-light

Daedalus class ships possessed a impulse drive system which was essentially a assembly of augmented fusion rockets, consisting of one or more fusion reactors, a coil assembly, and vectored thrust nozzles to direct the plasma exhaust. The fusion reaction generated a highly energized plasma.

Tactical

Defensive systems

• Deflector shields: It boasted a high-capacity shield grid to protect itself from various threats, such as impacts from bolides and debris, various space-related and energetic phenomena and hostile weaponry.

Weapon systems

• Phaser emitters: The class is armed with six phaser emitter cannons that fire pulsed beams of nadion radiation particles at a target.

Energy generation

The vessel is powered via multiple sources including; an anti-matter x matter drive which generated enormous amounts of power through explosive collisions releasing pure light (energy) which is then harnessed directly into FTL and several other systems and regulated through a matrix of magnets and dilithium.

Life support

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

Trivia

• The class bears resemblance to the 24th century Olympic-class medical ship.
