GENERAL NOTES

The Century-class starship is the latest design to bear the classification Cruiser. From its state-of-the-art behavioral interface to its Exopod-driven damage control system, the Century-class was created to fulfill the mission profile of multi-purpose adaptability.

The Daystrom Institute unveiled the new Mark I Behavioral Interface which incorporated a new, quasi-intelligent behavioral interface, a giant leap ahead in starship computer systems. The Mark I Behavioral Interface was added to the Century-class design specifications to aid in the fight against psychological isolation associated with prolonged missions in deep space.

The Century-class starship has also been equipped with a newly refined bio-neural sensor package, the latest innovations from Starfleet Sciences Technologies Bureau. Coupled with a 3-meter, gamma ray telescope and additional long-range sensor pallets, the bio-neural components of this new matrix separates needed information after acquisition, an ability previously impossible, but made possible by the Century-class starship's experimental computer core.

The Century-class utilizes a hull configuration first introduced by the Akira-class over half a century ago. Like the difference between the Constitution and Galaxy-class vessels, the Akira and Century class differ in size and exterior style as well as technological advancements.

The backbone of the Century-class starship, the Mark I computer system is the first such system to incorporate an experimental behavioral interface program which may eventually result in the development of a full artificial intelligence. The behavioral interface is the most complex computer system designed to date, including a limited personality and a constant, dynamic, user specific interface format. Early tests have revealed that this method has reduced or even eliminated the potential for crew personality conflicts at times found in consistently generalized personality standards.

Damage Control:
- IDC (Intelligent Damage Control) System, Series 1

The Century represents the first incorporation of Exopods within a
starship design. A "colony" of about fifteen (15) Exopods will inhabit each Century-class vessel. These Exopods will be built with limited intelligence, allowing crews to monitor and chart their progress. They, in combination with the widely accepted biohull and a new computer system, will essentially become an aggragate organism, allowing for incredible repair time and efficiency.
