Overview Of Systems By: Jarok Foster

The Trinity is classified as an Intelligence Gathering and Scout Vessel, and is the first Trinity Class Vessel. Although this ship would primarily be used for intelligence gathering and Scout missions, the Trinity is also capable of deep space missions, and may also be used as a diplomatic transport.

The Trinity is structured with a Ten deck design with a strong internal and external hull. The hulls of the ship are reinforced from flight stress by energy fields and structures integrated into the hull.

The bridge contains command posts for the rest of the ship. Phaser arrays and Torpedo launchers provide defence against hostile forces. Sub-space transmission arrays allow communication with planets, other ships, and starbases. Integrated into the ships communication system is a universal translator.

Escape pods allow for escape in emergencies, transporter arrays give reliable transportation of the crew, navigational and deflector arrays give the ship wide, lengthy, and in-depth vision and a method for clearing obstacles, and the Warp engines propel the ship at amazing speeds.

Sensor Equipment by:Jarok Foster
Long range Sensors are contained in the main deflector array at the very front of the ship and is designed to function as normal sensors but can also be calibrated to listen in on sub-space transmissions and any other form of communication.(As required for intelligence gathering ) The sensor contains high powered, active and passive subspace frequency sensors. Maximum effective range at high resolution scan is 15 light years. At low to medium resolution, 25 light years.

Lateral Sensors surrounding the ship on three sides (forward, starboard and port) are the lateral sensors, which contain a continuos rack for "sensor pallets", designed for easy replacement. The Trinity is fitted with mission specific Intelligence gathering pallets, although they can be changed if the mission calls for it.

Navigational sensors are provided exclusively for use in Starship navigation and are tied directly to flight control to determine the ship's location and velocity. These sensors include a priority link to the computer to allow for the best possible processor of the complicated data necessary for space flight. These sensors are also able to be used for : targeting of weapons, transporters.

The ship also contains sensor probes I-IX to perform a wide variety of different tasks.

Tact. Systems-

1.Photon/Quantum torpedoes: four forward facing and four aft facing launchers.

Two aft and Two forward facing launchers are located on deck five. The other two aft and two forward facing launchers are located on deck Ten. The launchers on deck five are connected, with a gas pressure chamber and an EM accelerator at either end. The launchers on deck ten are set up the same way.

Torpedo load: 50 Quantum ; 50 Photon

Range: Maximum effective range for the ships torpedoes is 3,250,000 km. The minimum safe range for the torpedoes is 20 km.

Primary Purpose: Destruction of propulsion systems and command centres, and the creation of hull breaches in hostile ships at high sublight and warp velocities.

2.Phaser Arrays

Type: Type 9

Output: Individual segments are capable of directing 9.0 megawatts. The Trinity class has 7 phaser arrays- Two covering the forward and dorsal areas. Two covering the port lateral and port aft areas. One covering the ventral area. And the remaining two covering the starboard aft, and starboard lateral areas.

Range: The maximum effective range for the ships phasers is 300,000 km.

Primary Purpose: Disablement of communication, sensor and weapon arrays and propulsion systems of hostile ships.

Defensive Systems by: Jarok Foster

Shields-

Type: Asymmetrical peristallic subspace graviton field, fairly similar to those of most other starships. However, beside incorporating the now mandatory notation shift in frequency, the shields alter their graviton polarity to better deal with more powerful weapons.

Output: There are 7 shield grids on the Trinity, each one capable of generating 920 MW resulting in a total shield strength of 11,010 MW. The power for the shields is taken directly from the impulse fusion generators and the reactors. The shields can protect against approximately 50% of the total EM spectrum (whereas a galaxy class vessels shields can only protect against 23%)made possible by the multiphase graviton polarity flux technology incorporated into the shields.

Range: In fully-raised configuration, shields are capable of protecting the ship against a sustained 9 MW phaser burst for 40 seconds. Multiple sustained 9 MW phaser bursts can be protected against for 20 seconds. Multiple pulse (0.3 seconds duration) phaser bursts of 9 MW can be protected for 25 seconds firing time if directed at a single spot, 21 seconds firing time if directed against multiple spots, if there is no other in coming fire the shields can protect fully against two standard federation-style torpedoes.

Primary Purpose: Defence from enemy threat forces, hazardous radiation and micrometeroid particles.

Tactical Database by:Jarok Foster

The Trinity has an extensive tact. database that contains hundreds of preassigned tactical manoeuvres developed by the leading strategic minds at Starfleet command. These tactics have been arranged into two major categories: offensive and defensive, any of which can be activated, when given the voice command by the tact. officer (i.e. "Computer engage Picard manoeuvre") The database also contains info. on all Starfleet weapons, from hand phasers to quantum torpedoes.

Computer and Databanks by: Jarok Foster

The Trinity's central computer core is a standard type 4 Starfleet A-465, with a 400GHZ Daystrom processor. Its storage medium is an isoliniar chip bank with a total storage capacity of 600 teraquads. The computer has three main subprocessors: the bridge subprocessor, the engineering processor, and the Infirmary LCARS subprocessor. The central processor and each of the subprocessors have a standard UPS990 backup redundancy unit.

The computer is protected from viruses using the standard "Starfleet sweep" virus detection program which offers the best protection currently available . The program is on alert at all times, scanning files as soon as they are accessed. Also, a thorough virus check is performed every 10 standard days.

The Trinity-A's computer databanks contain the standard starship control programs including the metaphasic shielding program and the shield frequency rotation program developed by Commander Data. The databanks also contain info. on every race ever encountered by the federation, every member of the federation, and Starfleet starcharts of the alpha quadrant, and parts of the beta and gamma quadrants. They also contain the Starfleet radio and subspace encryption protocol updated as of 9701.01. The databanks also contain all the logs of past starships including the Enterprise-D.

The engineering section of the databanks contain technical specifications of every ship class in the federation and specs of many alien ships that the federation has encountered. It also contains specs of all starbases, space stations and outposts of the federation.

The science section of the databanks contain sensor readings on many stellar phenomena that have been encountered. It also contains information for forensic research which can be accessed from the forensic lab. It also contains the logs of many great scientists.

The medical section of the databanks is managed by a separate LCARS system using 44.558 of the Library Computer Access Retrieval System ( LCARS) for the infirmary. The medical database includes physiology records on many races, among them are records on all member races of the federation. It also contains the EMH program developed by Dr. Louis Zimmerman at the Jupiter Station facility.

In the case of a systems failure, the core can be reinitialised using one of the redundant backup units. When that occurs, authorisation from the engineering , ops, and commanding officers is needed. The core reinitilisation usually takes 3 to 4 hours.

The Trinity also contains the HBO (Holographic Bridge officer) program also designed by Zimmerman at the Jupiter Station facility. The only two people aboard the ship that can activate the HBO are the two highest ranking officers on board. In most cases the captain and first officer.

Misc. Functions by: Jarok Foster

Cloaking device: Standard cloak technology similar to the Klingon cloak, an energy screen generator is used to render the ship invisible to the eye and sensor systems. The cloaking device will be engaged on the command "engage cloak" from the ranking bridge officer. And will be disengaged on the command "disengage cloak" from the ranking bridge officer.

Auto-Destruct Sequence by: Jarok Foster

To be used as a last resort against capture, must have voice authorisation as well as thumb print and retinal scans from the Captain and XO. The autodestuct sequence can be aborted by voice command at anytime prior to the activation of the destruct systems at T-0 seconds. Authority for cancellation of autodestuct lies with the captain and XO only, only one being required to abort the sequence.

Landing Procedures by: Jarok Foster

During the course of a mission, it may become necessary for the Trinity to land on the surface of a planet or other massive body with or without an atmosphere. In the event of a landing, there are certain procedures that must be followed to ensure the safety of ship and crew.

Landing:
Before landing can commence, a landing site of approx. 200m x 150m must be selected to ensure a safe touchdown. Then a descending flight path must be selected to best approach the landing site from the upwind side and at a suitably shallow angle.(ideally -10 degrees of the landing site, + / -3 degrees) Before planetary atmosphere entry, the impulse engines must be cut, and the RCS thrusters must be used to further bring the speed relative to the planets surface down to 1km/s before the altitude reaches 20 km. This speed is then held until the altitude is 500m, and distance from the landing site id 100 km. The vessel is then put into constant deceleration of 64,800 km/s/s, so that the vessel reaches the landing site at a speed of 0m/s. The RCS thrusters are slowly de-powered until the vessel comes to a rest on the ground.

Take-Off:
Take off procedure is different from landing in that a shallow trajectory is not necessary, but preferable for crew comfort. The RCS thrusters are set at station-keeping, then the downward -facing thrusters slowly increase power so that the ship can smoothly rise vertically to the altitude of 10 km. Then the rear-facing RCS thrusters go to full power, propelling the ship forward along a perfectly horizontal path relative to the landing site. The effect of this is that the surface of the planet will drop away slowly at first, then faster, until the ship leaves the atmosphere. Depending on the diameter of the planet this could take anywhere from 500km to 1300 km later. Once clear of the atmosphere, impulse engines can be re-engaged, and normal flight modes can be used.
