The Nimitz class is a technologically advanced type of starship utilised by Starfleet during the 23rd century.
History[]
Technical data[]
Design[]
The main hull is saucer-shaped. Two angular nacelles are placed below and two above the saucer hull. The two latter are connected by a horizontal strut with a pod in the center.
Tactical[]
- Tractor beam emitters: It is equipped with multiple tractor beam generators that project beams of attenuated gravity at a target thus allowing the manipulation of its trajectory.
Weapon systems[]
- Torpedo launchers: The class is armed with multiple torpedo launch banks that shoot out self-propelled torpedoes each equipped with photon warheads.
- Phaser arrays: Nimitz class ships are additionally armed with three phaser emitter arrays that fire pulsed beams of nadion radiation particle discharge at a target.
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.
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.
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 5 with a maximum speed of warp factor 7.5
Sub-light[]
Nimitz 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.
Trivia[]
- The class is named after the 20th-21th century US aircraft carrier.
