The Helios class is a technologically advanced type of starship utilised by Starfleet during the 23rd century.
History[]
After the USS Enterprise was badly damaged attempting to scan the red bursts in 2257, two Federation tugs were dispatched to tow her to a repair facility. Captain Christopher Pike and Commander Michael Burnham watched the tugs from the USS Discovery, discussing the nature of her distant relationship with her foster-brother Spock.
Technical data[]
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[]
- Oxygen generators
- Inertia dampeners
- Heat shield
- Radiation shield
- Gravity plating
Tactical[]
- Tractor beam emitters: The class features multiple tractor beam emitters that project a beam of attenuated gravity at a target thus allowing the manipulation of its trajectory.
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.
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.
- It has a maximum speed of warp factor 6.
Sub-light[]
Helios 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.
Design[]
This is a small ship type that can serve as a tug. The design consists of a saucer hull and two underslung nacelles.
