NOVA-CLASS MARK II HEAVY DESTROYER

Technical Specifications, Revision 01
Starfleet Engineering, SB4, Orbiting Mars

GENERAL NOTES

The Nova-class MKII is a state-of-the-art vessel representing the culmination of decades of Starfleet research and development. The Nova-class MKII is a refit of the original Nova-class spaceframe. Although Nova MKII is classified as a destroyer, her configuration is versatile enough for a wide array of mission profiles.

The advanced warp field geometry of the Nova-class MK II design, allows it to achieve a cruising speed of Warp 7 and a maximum sustainable speed of Warp 9.99999968. The ship is also equipped with transwarp drive. Transwarp drive propels a ship at speeds in excess of Warp 10, through the use of a subspace field generator. The ship passes through a subspace conduit and then attains speeds formerly unattainable in normal space. The transwarp cruising speed is Warp 12(Transwarp 3). The maximum sustainable transwarp speed is Warp 16.9975 (Transwarp 6.9975). The Nova-class MKII has a maximum transwarp speed of Warp 16.999982 (Transwarp 6.999982).

The biohull, or bioregenerative hull matrix, has been improved over past versions and is incorporated into the design. The biohull system allows the ship's bio-neural network to literally heal any damage inflicted on the ship's exterior.

The Nova-class MKII has an array of weapons to defend itself with. Twelve Type X phaser banks line the hull of the starship. Two quantum torpedo tubes are located fore and two aft, with the addition of twelve 'anti-fighter' plasma cannon turrets as well. The inclusion of a fighter bay, complete with four Arquebus sub-light fighters, gives her the decided advantage in most armed conflicts.

The culmination of technology and science over the years has allowed for the development of the Nova-class MKII Destroyer.
