Class: Pendragon

Ship Type: Explorer\Warship

Propulsion:    A prototype power generation system involving quantum-stressed matter and fusion. The Quantite/Fusion reactor consists of the following three parts:

Fusion:
A nuclear fusion reactor creates power by forcing two separate atomic nuclei to unite into a larger atom, producing energy in the process. Resultant energy release created by fusion results in plasma.

Quantite:
Purified Quantite ore, which is produced by passing the ore through an intense Electromagnetic field, breaking the Quantite ore down into its base components, effectively removing the impurities and leaving only the Quantite. Concluding purification, the bulk of the remaining compound is pure Quantite. Refined Quantite, which is now in a dense, metallic powder form, is then stored within armored, incredibly heat resistant storage tanks.

Main Energizer:
This is the reactor housing in which plasma and Quantite are introduced. Charged plasma and purified Quantite are pumped into the ship's main energizer. Once injected into the energizer the two compounds come into contact and the hot plasma ignites the Quantite. A magneto/gravitational matrix, which is essentially a powerful gravitic force field, contains the resulting explosion and the energy released by the explosion is then forced out the Energizer's power distrubition node. Small bits of quantite, on the scale of grams, produces the massive amount of energy a ship needs to power the vessel and allow it to create artificial gravity, travel at speeds near that of light and warp from one star to another.

Engines:



Max. Cruise Speed: Warp 9.95
Emergency Speed: Warp 9.999
Maximum Transwarp: 4
Maximum Efficiency: Warp 9=97.3%
Nacelles: 4 Variable-geometry nacelles
Fuel: Sufficient deuterium and quantite  carried onboard for 5 years of standard travel,including  TW and normal warp drive.
Power: Supplied by quantite core under normal operations. Can  also draw up to 82% power from auxiliary warp cores during  emergency situations.

Transwarp Core:      The transwarp core is a roughly cylindrical device approximately 1 meter tall and .8 meters in diameter. At the top is a dual reactant inlet port\coil removal access port. Inside are approximately 3 transwarp spheres; Federation starships only need 2 to achieve TW, but more increases the speed that can be reached in proportion to the power applied, as well as redundancies sake. Attached to the core are three support pylons; inside these are polarizing field generators that help to project the field generated by the spheres. ON the surface casing of the core are 15 field frequency attenuators, as well as 108 interior plasma waveguide plugs. Circling the core is an annular forcefield guidebar.
    
The TW field is projected out through the main deflector, which opens the conduit. At this point standard peristaltic field action moves the ship through the conduit.

Impulse Engines:
 -16 dispersion-strenghtened hafnium molyferrinide fusion spheres.
 -Tuned to emit in less-noticible UV spectrum; it is slightly less efficient, but the greater stealth capability makes up for it.
 -Utilizes a Helium-3 enhanced deuterium flow as well as a fine-tuned ion injector and muon-nuclei bonding.
 -Has a separate antimatter storage cell to be used as a speed boost; 3 boosts possible
 -Muon-generator powered by a nanofusion power cell, as well as multi-injector ports
 -Magnetohydrodynamic thrusters using meta fuel*; superconductive magnetic field coils, layered to provide feedback control via changing the energy fed to the coils. The MHD thrusters use high-energy EM fields to propel ionically charged material at very high speeds; the thrusters add a boost to the ionized helium\nitrogen exhaust.
 -Fuel pumps electromechanically operated and constructed of a phase-transition welded cortanium carbide alloy; can withstand up to 345,000 KPA.
 -NFC coating on all load-bearing components inside and outside of the vessel.
 - Reinforced G-Driver and S-Driver coils, as well as reinforced warp coils
 - Double-layered superconductive magnets for Power Transfer Conduits
 -Steerable exhaust vents to wring maximum amount of movement from exhaust

Max. Emergency Speed 0.79c
Max. Safe Speed: 0.28c

Thrusters: Thrusters use Meta fuel, instead of standard deuterium; meta, since it is naturally energy-dense, does not require the burning step that standard deuterium thrusters do, improving reaction times. Also, thrusters have been fitted with small gravitic driver coils to give helm even more maneuverability to dodge weapons fire or finer control over tight movements.

Auxiliary power comes in the form of adapted Tholian gravitic power cells, more efficient due to each cell's faster energy pooling than standard Starfleet auxiliary generators, and nanofusion power generators 1 meter in diameter, with their own separate deuterium fuel sources.

Tactical

Since the Camelot is a explorer vessel, it has been equipped with the neccesary weaponry to defend itself from any potential unknowns. The SIF is boosted by a electro-magnetic reinforcement and routed through the auxilliary warp systems to aid against matter-loss in case of a hull breach. As a multi-capable starship, it is well-equipped weapons-wise to provide adequate firepower against any new threats she might encounter. To that end, the vessel has been equipped with regenerative, nutational, and metaphasic enhancements. Also, a modified form of the the multi-vector assault mode pioneered in the Prometheus class is here as well. In the external defense, phaser arrays are type XII, with enhanced focalization, giving impressive accuracy and allowing easier controlled recharge. She also carries impressive loads of torpedos.

Energy Weapons:
 -6 Type XII Phaser Banks
    -Two Antimatter Generators are dedicated to run through phaser arrays for sensor distraction.
 -2 Thaser Beam cannons
 -4 Pulse Phaser cannons
 -4 Type II Teryon Beams
 -4 Anaphasic Pulsers
 -Each Vector is capable of delivering a thoron shockwave pulse

Torpedo Tubes:
2 Forward Launchers - Upper launcher launcher is a rapid-enhanced plasma torpedo launcher, with special
carbotanium-carbon nanofiber stress reinforcement.
Lower launcher is burst enhanced.
1 Aft Launcher
1 port launcher and 1 starboard launcher

Launchers are a gravity-based system. It is strung with sequential solid-state gravity field induction coils and launch assist MHD generators to provide initial power to the sustainer and propel the casing away from the starship. Once fired, the launcher tube is purged of surface residues by flash sterilization, the coil charges are neutralized, and the firing dequencer is reset to await a new load of torpedos.
 The use of gravity field coils instead of magnetic field coils eliminates two problems:
 1. Slow refire rate. Federation torpedo launchers are somewhat slow in their torpedo fire rate; they make up for this by being able to launch multiple torps at once.
 2. Overheating. Despite cooling, in heavy battle the coils can overheat and render the launch tube inoperable until they cool down; in rare instances they have been known to melt. The gravitic coils, due to their different operating effect, have *quadruple* the time before overheating of other components, not the coils themselves.

Payload:
6000 Class-M Plasma torpedos
120 Hellbore torpedos
50 Quantum torpedos with cobalt hexaflouride enhancement
30 Graviton torpedos

30 Verteron torpedos
        
Weapon Placement Per Vector

Vector One(forward saucer)- 4 Type XII phaser arrays
Vector Two(bridge section)- 4 Pulse Phaser cannons, 2 Anaphasic pulsers
Vector Three(aft saucer)- 2 Thaser beam cannons, 2 Type XII phaser arrays, forward torpedo launcher
Vector Four(Stardrive)- 4 type-II Teryon beam arrays, forward plasma torpedo and aft torpedo launchers, 6000 plasma torpedos.

The other defenses of the Camelot also include internal defenses. Security Enforcement Cells (SEC) are aligned in all corridors and jeffries tube of the ship. They enable forcefields to project in many places that the standard forcefield cut-off points don't reach, giving the crew an advantage to any ship invasions. Interception Counter Measure ordnances are also available for torpedo modification in quantum casings. They are able to detect and attempt to thwart incoming enemy weapons fire with a dedicated tactical computer. Also, in quad-MVAM mode only the stardrive (Vector 4) is able to cloak, for it has the cloaking device.

Shields:


Standard Starfleet deflector shield arrays, enhanced with Metaphasic and Nutational shield modes. Defense also include a Storm-class cloaking device and a shield-enhanced (but not dependent) Structural Integrity Field.

H U L L

-The hull is a 4 meter thick miracle of modern engineering. It is composed of 5 layers, joined to form a hull that almost does not need the SIF field most ships do.

-Armor-
Type 2 Force Hull Armor
nano-cryst duranium
Type 3 ablative armor
Sensor-absorption\receiver- The material used in this layer is something called a meta-material; a composite substance that derives its physical properties from structure rather than chemical makeup. In this case, the material is made from copper and verterium. The copper layer is made from alternating rows of copper rods and split rings of copper that resemble interlocking washers. This material is "left-handed", meaning its EM properties are the opposite of normal materials such as glass; ie it bends microwaves the opposite way from normal materials, for example. Now, at the scale of 1 millimeter the radiation bent is microwaves, at 1 micrometer its visible light, and so on down to the nanometer scale for low-end X-ray absorption. A similar setup with verterium handles subspace energy. All active sensor systems have to bounce something off the thing being scanned, and if nothing returns to the scanning ship nothing can be learned. This material can provide 100% absorption at whatever frequency one wishes; the meta-material can be tailored for a single or multiple frequencies.

Inertial Dampering System - The system can protect crew from G-forces up to 12 G`s beyond normal counteracceleration forces. The system also uses Magellan Class shared components in combating shearing forces capable of allowing the ship tight turns and more dramatic navigational gyro control. A high-density graviton polaric yield, a remodulated design, allows this comphensation.

Computer Core: LCARS-II Bioneural Core and Nanocomputer core with quantum-transient relay connections and bioholographic bacteriorhodopsin thinfilm stacking.
   -The bioneural core and gelpacks form a Field Configurable Gateways( FCG) system; the biosystems configure themselves on the fly for the best processing at each moment. Also, the bioneural core is twice the size of the nanocomputer core, the nanocore being smaller than your standard memory core.

Memory Capability: Total memory capacity for each core is 3,000,000 kiloquads. Total memory of primary cores together is 6,000,000 kiloquads.

Transmission Speed: The FTL subspace generator has been replaced in each computer core by white lightning TW field generators. It uses a non-propulsive TW displacement of 7000 millicochranes. Instantaneous access to 1000 data channels. PADD/Consoles Have been constructed with quantum-computational sub-processors and multi-frequency RF receivers\transmitters to take as much advantage of this power as possible.


Special Modification: Bridge Module

The Bridge Module aboard the Pendragon class is actually a embedded ship based on the defiant-class starship. The bridge acts the same for both vessels, umbilicals disconnecting if separation occurs. Command of the secondary ship is transfered to the battle bridge on Vector 1.
