[one] Designing Engineers:
     Joseph Keller, NeoTerra (Crystal Mountain)
     Gokh Oran, Tal’adaar’ai (Ala’knaar’k)
     R’Sikor, Genettha (Zhattalan)
     Lisa O’Reilly, Terra (Dublin, Ireland)
     Ahañ Nilaña, Lingñall (Shrakka, Nañ)
     Zand’aar Iehan, Antrithix (Janathax Moonbase)
     Hanor Sta, Ghirond (Ghirond’s End)

[two] Basic Statistics:
     Type:  Explorer
     Class:  Friendship
     Rank:  Flagship
     Drive System:  Platform/Stringwarp
     Weight Class:  Heavy

[three] Ship Dimensions:
     Length: 2000 meters (Eagle), and 1000 meters (Raven)
     Width: 1000 meters (both Eagle and Raven)
     Wingspan:  For both Eagle and Raven modules, between 3 kilometers and 15
         kilometers, based on the orientation of the morpho systems and wing plates
     Height:  180 habitable decks, each deck is about 3 meters, including about 1 meter
         margin space for each deck

[four] Ship Defense Systems:
     LASER Turrets:
         Power:  144 GW min. output 250 GW max. output
         Number:  10 turrets per ship 5 lenses per turret
         Accuracy: Direct hit from 0.5 to 68 kilometers (short)
             Close hit from 68 to 4,000 kilometers (middle)
             Near miss from 4,000 to 80,000 kilometers (long)
     Torpedo/Projectile Systems:  variable power
         Matter/Anti Matter warhead - 136.5 Kilotons, up to 45.2 meter
             penetration.
        Protium/Neutronium pellet launcher - full penetration,
             no explosive.  Phasic ion “streaking” may prove volatile,
             though this is strictly a side effect.
         MK - III wing mounted - from magnitude 1 to
             magnitude 20+ payload supported.  Between fifty meter to
             one kilometer light penetration, less for denser targets.
         MK - I wing mounted - strictly not for use by any
             starship unless war is declared.  Support for all magnitudes,
             inclusive of theoretical warheads that have not yet been
             invented.  Interplanetary Code Lockout level seven.

[five] Shielding/Passive Defense Systems:
     Standard:  450 GW min. output 620 GW max. output
     Interferometric:  21 GW absolute minimum output
        Phase Banding - allowable for up to seven frequency
         groups at any given time.
     Hull Plating:
         Dimensions - covers entire exterior hull except
             stringwarp accelerators.
         Composition - honeycombed barite neutronium layer
             with solid plasteel sheath.
         Durability - theoretical.  Designed to withstand M/AM
             explosion with little or no deformation/penetration.  Operates
             in conjunction with Interferometric, helps prevent damage to
             the spaceframe of the ship.  Will repel Protium/Neutronium
             to prevent damage.

[six] Propulsion Systems:
     Standard:  ion drive and hyperdrive modules on both ships,
         no cross-tunnelation.
     Platform:  modified plasma coils added to standard
         hyperdrive system.
     Stringwarp:  Classified.

[seven] Power Systems:  Total ship output:  36.571 TW
     Standard Fusion: pellet fed, sometimes supported by the ship's
         Bussard Collectors.
     High Performance:  liberated energy intersection fusion, also
         supported by Bussard Collectors.  No thermal input required.
         Micro pellet fed.
     Full Power:  M/AM intermix.  Adjustible “burn” rate with
         full shutdown option in emergency.

[eight] Descriptions:
    Stringwarp:  a special form of warp field produced when the
ship resonates out of synchronism with the domain in which the
ship is presently located.  The ship may not travel along the border
between two or more domains, and may not travel along a course
that passes less than three domains.  Also, a ship may not travel on
a course that returns to the domain where it started its trip.  A ship
must first be in hyperspace before it can use stringwarp.

    Barite Neutronium:  a stable transperiodic element with an atomic
weight of 999 mass units.  There are 497 protons in the atomic nucleus
and 502 neutrons.  Much of the electrons orbit so close to the nucleus
that they may theoretically be passing through it.  So far, this is only
one of the explanations for how come such a massive atom could be
stable.  Due to the extreme mass of the nucleus, the honeycombed
neutronium components of the ship's hull are only about one atom thick.
This is done to make the ship weigh less and still be maneuverable.

    Pellet Fed:  pellets of fuel are shot at high speeds into the fusion
reactor, where a LASER blasts it.  Special force fields contain the fuel,
so it can't expand.  It gets superhot, and another LASER makes it
undergo nuclear fusion.  With intersection fusion, the pellets do not need
a LASER to heat them up.  Instead, a special field causes one fuel pellet
to exist in the exact same space as another one, and they automatically
explode.

    Phase Banding:  force fields are used to prevent energy transfer or
generation at specific frequencies.  This effect allows a ship to restrict the
amount of damage by blocking out frequency groups which the ship is most
vulnerable to.  Damage must then be done to less vulnerable areas.
