The Razor class is a technologically advanced type of starship utilised by the inhabitants of Ni'var during the 32nd century.
History[]
In 3189, after Ni'Var received Commander Michael Burnham's distress call, the government sent several Razors to Federation Headquarters. These ships arrived just as the USS Discovery-A, under the command of Emerald Chain leader Osyraa, was attempting to leave the distortion field surrounding the headquarters station. After Fleet Admiral Charles Vance reluctantly agreed to Burnham's request to let the Discovery-A go, the Razors backed off and became part of a pursuit fleet that included larger Federation ships.
One year later, after the Ni'var rejoined the United Federation of Planets, the Razors were absorbed into Starfleet.
Three Ni'var Razors were sent to intercept the USS Discovery-A when they went rogue against a gravitational anomaly.
Technical data[]
Materials[]
- Hull
- The exterior frame of the ships are comprised out of a Duranium composite reinforced with Neutronium alloy fibres chemically bonded onto the underlining Duranium sheeting.
Life support[]
- Gravity plating
- Inertia dampeners
- Oxygen generators
- Heat shield
- Radiation shield
- Structural integrity system
- Replicators
Tactical[]
Despite their small size, they were designed to pack a wallop and take a beating.
Weapon systems[]
Disruptors[]
Ni'var razors are armed with multiple disruptor bank arrays that cause damage to matter through exciting the molecular bonds of targets to such great extents that those bonds are weakened, and/or broken, by the energies emitted, which often manifest as explosive force. Particle composition of these disruptors were phased antiprotons, the antimatter counterpart of a regular proton.
In an effort to combat enemy adaptation, ships of this type utilise an automatic frequency rotation program to continuously and periodically alter the vibrational component.
Defensive systems[]
- Deflector shields: For protection, the class features sophisticated forcefield armor that has proven to be regenerative employing said sub-routines in addition to self-adaptive matrices to compensate for enemy fire. It is comprised out of layered energetic distortion infused with graviton waves and can absorb kinetic forces as well as energy discharge for prolonged periods of time.
Energy generation[]
The ship class utilises Romulan designed singularity drives that provides power by utilizing the rotational movement of a microscopic quantum singularity, which is 29 percent efficient by orders of magnitude greater than a nuclear reactor, and more than four times as efficient as Earth's own Sun. Dilithium is used in the engine to regulate the absorption of the Hawking radiation and other energies released from the singularity including gamma radiation and a Zero-Point Energy conduit converts it into a form compatible with its power systems.
It utilises a series of impulse reactors, fueled by deuterium, which operates through a nuclear fusion process to produce energised plasma that is then distributed to secondary systems using a plasma conduit managed EPS grid instead of polaric conduits.
Propulsion[]
Sub-light[]
These vessels can travel through space at sub-light speeds via nuclear fusion engines in which the plasma from the fusion reactor powers a massive magnetic coil to propel the ship. It is a form of a magnetohydrodynamic drive called the Hyper-Impulse engine that is capable of propelling the ship at speeds just under .75 percent/the speed of light.
This magnetic system also utilizes the Space-Time Driver Coil to operate effectively at sub-light speeds which produce a non-propulsive symmetrical subspace field that helps the ship to accelerate, decelerate, and maneuver by effectively lowering it's apparent mass.
FTL[]
Warp[]
Ni'var razors possess a warp drive on par with Federation standard specifications that function 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 concealed 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 velocity is Warp Factor 9.9995 which is 53,254.35 times the speed of light or 10 light years/every 1.65 hours. While the cruising speed is Warp Factor 8.9975 which is 1,514.98 times the speed of light or around 10 light years/per 57.86 hours (2.4108333 days).
