'''Please Note'''<br />
<br />
Currently this page is in work. Our ultimate goal is to give participation credit due to those who helped the campaign happen and come to at least a temporary conclusion. We welcome those who wish to role-play in this forum with us, and only ask that when you present your character or cell portion of the events that unfold, you do not attempt to resolve the conflict through your own direct actions or speak for other cells or individuals also taking part in these events. Should you wish to participate by performing some charitable action or group activity instead, please submit a report of what you have done to our Chief of Operations via the official mailing list or in e-mail. Thank you for your interest and cooperation. <br><br><br />
<br />
<font color=fuchsia>If you have information on Ships/Units that are participants, you may post to the attached discussion page and FADM Pickett will see that you are added to the official list.</font color> <br><br />
You will need to include the following: Ship/Cell Name, Member Name, Member Rank, Member Number, and any notes on the type or amount of participation. This is the Honor System, but we will verify claims as needed. Please 'only list those who participate' in whatever way. <br><br />
<br><br />
<font size=4>'''Game Notes'''</font><br />
<br />
<font color=#0040FF><br />
In the basic game, each chapter chooses one of the below operations to take part in, whether you are gaming or writing fan fiction. Chapters may team up as they agree, but it is not necessary. You are quite free to run things from an independent point of view in this setting. The "objectives" listed in the operations simply flesh out the setting and viewpoints of the various roles, and provide prompts if you need them.<br />
<br />
All operations are fairly open to interpretation and offer a variety of interesting stories, depending on what you and/or your team might wish to pursue. You don't have to follow the prompts in your chosen operation - they are simply scenarios that fit the archetype. You are also free to write from a character that is not your normal persona in MFI - and, if you like, you may even choose more than one operation to take part in. Feel free to be creative. And if you choose to take part by working with our honored (or even another) charity, please let us know what you did, who participated with you, and what charity it was if not our honored one.<br />

<br />
===EXPLANATION===<br />
<br />
<font color=#ffffff>Whether you are taking part in the LDO individually or as a group, you may do so in a variety of ways. Just what are the different roles? It honestly depends on how much activity and participation you choose to invest in the exercise: <br />
<br />
<br />
1. 'Maquis Intelligence' - You are working on behalf of the Maquis Intelligence Branch (either SOC or SSD) to garner information about the enemy forces that are attacking.<br />
<br />
2. 'Maquis Marine' - You are part of the ground forces or a ship-boarding assault team working to take out enemy forces, halting their advancement or driving them away.<br />
<br />
3. 'Maquis Navy' - You are assisting with ground placement, reconnaissance or evacuation procedures to protect and recover civilian lives.<br />

== TACTICAL BRIEFING ==<br />
<br />
===THE ENEMY===<br />
<br />
[[Image:JemHadarSoldiers.jpg|350px|left]] <font color=#FA5882>A Jem Hadar attack group, starting their operations by boarding and taking control of a Gorn colony cruiser, managed to gain entry to Maquis space and have begun systematic annihilation of colonists within the Lethras star system, and it is suspected they will use that as a staging base to do the same with the rest of the Maquis.<br />
Maquis Forces are cautioned against countering this threat via physical force. If unarmed confrontation is avoidable, do so: - shoot to kill ''always''! Do not attempt to overcome these forces without VERY heavy weaponry. Even Klingon disruptors and Bat'leth have been noted to have little effect on their tough hide.</font><br />

<font color=white size=3>'''Fleet composition:'''</font><font color=#FA5882 size=3><br><br />
''Attack Fleet:'' Unknown – 2 War ships, 4 Battle Cruisers and 24 Strike ships verified entering Maquis space.<br><br />
[[Image:JemHadarShip.jpg|350px|center]]<br />
<br />
<font color=white size=3>'''Basic description:'''</font><font color=#FA5882 size=3> ''A genetically-engineered humanoid race from the Gamma Quadrant, the Jem'Hadar were the military arm of the Dominion and one of the most powerful military forces in the galaxy during their time.'' <br />
<br />
''Jem'Hadar are designed to have excellent vision and strength several times greater than Humans. They also have the ability to "shroud" themselves (a form of camouflage that acts as a personal cloaking field) effectively hiding them and their weapons from both sensors and the naked eye. However, they have to drop this effect when attacking.''<br />
<br />
''Uniforms – Jem'Hadar uniforms allow their wearers to be almost completely unaffected by many forms of anti-personnel force field.<br />
Weaponry - Jem'Hadar carry plasma weapons in both rifle and pistol variants, capable of firing lethal disruptor bursts with anti-coagulants that are designed to slowly kill their enemies if the burst itself does not. The weapons have at least two other settings: they are able to stun, and to fire a more powerful burst capable of vaporizing a humanoid target.<br />
Melee Weapons - In close quarters, Jem'Hadar prefer the kar'takin, a type of two-handed pole-arm axe. They also carry combat knives.'' </font><br />
<br />
<div align="right"><font color=#ffffff size=1>Briefing compiled by the Maquis Forces Department of Cynical Propaganda, which is not responsible for any factual inaccuracies in this briefing.</font><div align="left"><br />
<br />
=== Lethras -- Background and History ===<br />
<br />
*Lethras is mostly dry, with flooding showers once per full rotation (approximately 1.4 years) on the lower continent that is the most hospitable for Gorn habitation; however, temperatures around the equator rarely rise above 30 degrees Celsius and what few storms the planet experiences are often mild and provide needed moisture. <br />
*Much of the planet's southern portion of the hemisphere is dominated by a large bowl-shaped continent which has a single mountain range, the Chi'allan Mountains, running along its middle and curving to the north. <br />
**The majority of plant life are short scrub-brush and flowering spike-grass akin to Earthly war plants or the Yucca. <br />
**Two rivers wind to the south and east of the mountain range. <br />
*In the northern hemisphere, there are nine smaller island-like continents with wide mildly saline rivers that separate them. <br />
**The oceans are a bit more alkaline than Earth's waters.<br />
=== Open Call for Allies - Tactical Analysis ===<br />
<br />
Any incursion by the Dominion is a serious breach within our quadrant by the Gamma Quadrant. It is highly probable that if they have any success or find little resistance they will stay and resume their previous attempt to subjugate our entire Quadrant. Force is the only thing which will stop them. That or having the Founders force them back to their own quadrant. <br />
<br />
<font size="4"><font color="white"> That understood, we ask that any Maquis would exert whatever influence to get the Feds, Klingons, Romulans, and others involved in pushing the Dominion away and out of our Quadrants. </font size></font color><br />

<br />
<br />
== OPERATIONAL PROTOCOLS ==<br />
<br />
===Objective of '''Operation: Modus Sabateur'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=red>Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure; life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.<br />
<br />
''For those seeking to make a name for themselves or wishing to prove something (to themselves or others), this is a perfect way to do so. As a solo operative, or part of a team, your task is to find your way aboard enemy ships to find ways to sabotage them while gaining more information about the vessels and Dominion forces that our Intelligence can analyze and disseminate accordingly.'' <br />
<br />
A. Write an after-action report about the ship systems, schematics, enemy fighting style or weaponry that were encountered.<br />
<br />
B. Offer detailed scans or images showing the design of the enemy vessel's engineering, or reverse engineer enemy weaponry that you are able to abscond with.<br />
<br />
C. Remain in communicator and transporter range, and present a verbal/visual record of the details aboard ship, noting weaknesses in their designs or shipboard operations once your mission is complete.</font><br />
<br />
[[Image:IncomingSubspace2.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
===Objective of '''Operation: Midnight Run'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=orange>At the end of the day, the goals are simple: safety and security.<br />
<br />
''As part of the ground forces operation for the Lethras system, you are charged with the extraction and evacuation of civilians, and the attempt to recover lost ground of the Jem'Hadar forces if at all possible. If not, then your mission is to make the enemy understand that taking more ground is too high a price to continue to pay – through means of ambush, ensnarement and sabotage.'' <br />
<br />
A. Draw up a battle plan for your given area of the arid, rocky world of Lethras, include contingencies for meeting with a civilian element in your write-up.<br />
<br />
B. Offer a report of the skirmish you and your team had with enemy forces, including details of numbers, weaponry used by both sides, and any injury or casualty reports.<br />
<br />
C. Present the communications (and/or video) log of your team's efforts on Lethras for HQ to review, so that we might know what weaponry, snares, and methods of entrapment, fortifications or maneuvers worked against enemy forces.</font><br />
<br />
[[Image:IncomingSubspace2.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
===Objective of '''Operation: Pied Piper'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=green>Children are gifts, they remind us of what is important.<br />
<br />
''One of the primary duties of the Maquis Naval Forces is that of protecting colonies and ships within our held territory of space. To this end, a convoy of civilian Gorn transports, on their way to the Lethras system, has taken heavy damage from the Jem'Hadar strike ships, and are now drifting somewhere off-course in the eddies and wakes of the Badlands. Many of these ships carry non-combative citizenry, their children and even a few hatchery ships. It is your duty to locate these ships and attempt to mount a rescue.''<br />
<br />
A. Present a record of account from the moment you began your search for the lost convoy to the point of rescue and return to base, include what methods were suggested, tried, failed and succeeded. Include what types of ships were encountered and colonists rescued, and if you were working alone or with other vessels or any specialized teams.<br />
<br />
B. Share a diagram (or drawing) of your intended procedure that you will implement in the search and rescue operations.<br />
<br />
C. Send a recording of your subspace transmissions with the ship your crew (attempts to/manages to) rescue. In this way HQ may study the operation, and utilize it to test future MFI officers in similar procedures.<br />
<br />
[[Image:IncomingSubspace2.jpg|center]]<br />
<br />
===Objective of '''Operation Death Shroud'''===<br />
<br />
<font color=white>I believe in endings that should suggest our stories always continue. <br />
<br />
''We knew it was only a matter of time before the Dominion sent shock troops to attempt to wipe us out. It is in our best interest to make them believe they have done so. Staging particular battles and colonies with information that will be leaked to their operatives, we will allow them to hit these places and offer pitched battles where it looks as if there were no survivors. In this way, we may find ourselves at peace, at least for a time, allowing us to rebuild our numbers and defenses while our enemies believe we have been obliterated.''<br />
<br />
A. Are you an operative, or team – or ship – that has leaked false information about the fall of the Maquis to the enemy? How so? Please give details in a story, or holo-novel, or even over a drink in 10 Forward.<br />
<br />
B. Have you changed your identity, and are now infiltrating the Federation's (Or some other Empire's) shipping lanes? What cosmetic surgery or implants have you had, and who did the work? Put together a referral list, or hook us up with some new fake I.D. Cards, too!<br />
<br />
C. Are you someone who has helped with the relocation and redistribution effort? HQ will need the only surviving record of your log so that we can have that information (specially locked and secured as EYES ONLY material) for our top level security personnel.</font><br />

Maquis Forces International's (MFI) Naval forces are coordined from Empok Nor, a captured Cardassian Space Station. Located near, in, and around the Badlands (depending on the status of certain operations), Empok Nor serves as MFI's [[Headquarters]] for coordination, resupply, and dispersment of the various ships which comprise the Naval Forces. <br />
<br />
MFI's [[Operations|Chief of Operations]] is the Head of MFI's Naval Branch and his staff includes of all our [[Zone Coordinators]].<br />

<br><br />
The Naval Service is comprised of the active and reserve components and the civilian personnel of the Maquis Navy. We are, first and foremost, men and women dedicated to the service of MFI in peace and war. We are an all-volunteer force instilled with a warrior and guardian ethos. Our people are the foundation of our mission success. They possess willpower, creativity, inspiration, reason, knowledge, and experience to overcome adversity and accomplish any task. They exemplify the values of honor, courage, and commitment. We are an instrument of national power, employed to prevent conflict and, if necessary, prevail in war. We are organized, trained, and equipped primarily to operate and fight at and from the sea. The qualities that allow us to prevail in war also contribute to conflict prevention. These qualities include speed, flexibility, agility, scalability, readiness, mobility, self-sustainability, and lethality. We believe that the future is uncertain, and that the Maquis will be threatened by a variety of state and non-state adversaries, current and emerging. We believe that both state and non-state adversaries are likely to employ a hybrid of conventional and irregular methods to counter the Maquis’ advantage in conventional military operations. Thus, we must be prepared to overcome a range of adversaries employing a variety of capabilities and tactics. We believe that naval forces uniquely contribute to overcoming diplomatic, military, and geographic impediments to access, while respecting the sovereignty of Maquis. Even as security, stability, and economy become more interdependent, resistance to a large MFI military “footprint” abroad will continue to increase. Naval forces provide the ideal means in such a security environment to accomplish a wide variety of missions conducted independently or in concert with joint, interagency, international and non-governmental partners that share the Maquis’ interest in promoting a safe and prosperous world. We believe that preventing war is as important as winning, and that prevention activities will constitute the most likely application of naval power.<br />

'''History'''<br />
<br><br />
The history of Maquis Forces Aviation, and ultimately of all fighter craft the MFI may yet use in the Force, can be traced to the Khitomer Accords of November 2291. With the Klingon Empire dealing with internal problems, and the Romulan Star Empire soon to withdraw all contact, the Federation and the MFI were left without a perceptible major threat to peace. During the 73 years between the Khitomer Accords and the reemergence of the Romulan Star Empire, the MFI underwent a major drawdown of its combat forces. Instead of defense, Starships were optimized for exploration. Then, within a year after the initial contact between USS Berlin and seven Romulan warships, USS Enterprise encountered the Borg. Suddenly, the Federation faced a need for combat vessels. Several projects were considered, to fill the need. Before any of them could be implemented, the Borg invaded, and the cataclysmic battle of Wolf 359 ensued. This was to be a harbinger of things to come. In short order, the United Federation of Planets faced wars with the Borg, the Dominion, and the Cardassians (twice), the century of peace was over.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
In 2376, MFI commissioned the first fighter. Designed to serve as defense for stationary installations such as planets and space stations, the Mk. 1 fulfilled its mission admirably, contributing to the defenses of Empok Nor during the second Borg invasion. During the Dominion War, Mk. II of the First Fighter Squadron formed a rear guard. Though many pilots were lost in the battle, their sacrifice enabled several transports full of civilians to escape safely.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
Despite its excellent service record, there were deficiencies in the Mk. II that MFI Command felt needed to be addressed. Key amongst these was the fighter's low survivability ratio. Only sixty-five percent of the Mk. II sent on combat missions were returning. The original Mk. designers, along with several members of the Defiant and Sovereign class ship design boards, began work in 2398 to redesign the fighter. The first Mk. III entered service with the newly formed Ninth Fighter Squadron (9FS) in 2401.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
Before the year was out, the Ninth Fighter Squadron was assigned to Empok Nor, and renamed Fighter Squadron Nine (VF-9). The assignment was an experiment, intended to test the new fighter's usefulness in new roles -- close air support for Marines, CAP for fleet units, and other missions. The Second Cardassian War saw the baptism by fire of VF-9 and the proof of the carrier-borne fighter concept as a vital part of the MFI. The Assault at B'khai started as a minor confrontation between MFI Marines (MFMC) and a garrison of occupying Cardassian troops. In short time, both sides called for reinforcements. By the end of the battle, an entire Marine regiment had faced and defeated nearly double their number of Cardassian Army regulars, and a large contingent of Jem'Hadar left in Cardassian control after the Dominion war. Though VF-9 lost nearly a quarter of its fighters, they were cited with keeping the death toll among MFMC Marines from being higher than it was. Through close air support, artillery suppression, dropship escort, and enemy troop transport interdiction missions, VF-9 ensured the future of carrier-borne fighters in the MFI.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
Despite these impressive accomplishments, many fighter pilots still felt that the design of the Mk. III could be improved upon. ASDB indicated a lack of interest in persuing further design changes, so a private firm, Broken Drive's Suzuki Konbinaato, began looking at the question. Recruiting a panel of expert pilots, including most of the Fighter Squadron Commanding Officers in the Fleet, Suzuki quickly focused on the area they felt could be improved most effectively: the fighter's propulsion suite. With its maximum speed of Warp 4.5, the Orca was ineffective in fleet point defense roles, as well as in customs and border patrol roles, where larger ships could easily outrun the small fighters. Suzuki quickly developed a new Matter-Antimatter Reactor Assembly and warp engines capable of propelling the small craft to greater velocities, though range was strictly limited.<br />
Now being issued to fighter squadrons, the Mk. III promises to play an important role in fleet and station defense for many years to come. Of course, the Orion "Crouching Tiger" Trade Syndicate was only too happy to make both the Mk. III and Peregrine designs available to the Maquis... although the Maquis make use of any and all fighter designs.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
'''Maquis Fighter Squadrons'''<br />
<br><br />
They are numbered sequentially in order of founding. MFI Aviation units have a VMF designation; SSD/SOC Aviation units are drawn from the "Fleet" forces and have a VF designation. KTF Fighter Squadrons use the VKF designator. VF-11, assigned to MFI Training Command, serves a dual purpose. Only 16 pilots are assigned on a permanent basis. Half of these serve as a cadre of flight instructors, training new pilots to handle the Sphinx fighter. The other half are trained in enemy tactics, and fly against the other squadrons during "Aggressor" training sessions.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
'''The Element'''<br />
<br><br />
An element can be up to 2 starfighters, an Element Leader and a Wingman, as well as the support staff necessary for maintenance and repair. These support personnel may be either Starfleet or Marine.<br />
Single elements are often assigned to small starships where they act as reconnaissance craft as well as support their base ship.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
'''The Flight'''<br />
<br><br />
A flight can have up to 4 elements (4 to 8 starfighters) as well as the support staff necessary for maintenance and repair. The senior Element Leader is designated the Flight Leader.<br />
Flights are assigned to starships and space stations.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
'''The Squadron'''<br />
<br><br />
A squadron can have up to 4 flights (8 to 24 starfighters), as well as the support staff necessary for maintenance and repair. The senior Flight Leader is designated the Squadron Leader.<br />
Squadrons are assigned to larger starships and space stations.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
'''The Wing'''<br />
<br><br />
A wing is comprised of 2+ Squadrons Normally 36+ Starfighters, as well as the support staff necessary for maintenance and repair. The senior Squadron Leader is designated the Wing Commander and usually has at least the rank of Lieutenant Commander.<br />
Wings are rarely assigned intact; instead smaller sections are assigned to a variety of ships or bases within the Task Force.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
'''The Group'''<br />
<br><br />
A group is comprised of 2 or more wings (72+ starfighters), as well as the support staff necessary for maintenance and repair. The Group Commander will have with them a support staff which forms the HQ; of the group in which orders are sent to the wings in his/her command. The Group Commander usually has the rank of Lieutenant Colonel or Colonel if Marines or Commander or Captain if Starfleet.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
Groups are rarely assigned intact; instead smaller sections are assigned to a variety of ships or bases within the Fleet.<br />

==General Overview==<br />
<br />
The Vendetta entered service during the Dominion War, and went through a rapid development and deployment phase in the opening months of the war. Until the outbreak of hostilities’ the Vendetta program was delayed due to continued debates over the role of fighter in Starfleet. Heavy losses in the opening of the war spurred Starfleet to approve and prioritize the program in 2372. To Starfleet’s surprise the plans were gone. The Maquis had a spy in R&D steal any potential designs beneficial to the Maquis.<br />
<br><br />
The Vendetta is loosely based on an aerowing design, which is suitable for limited atmospheric flight. The smoothed aerowing surface encases the twin warp nacelles and impulse engines. The cockpit incorporates features similar to a standard shuttlecraft, with additional mission specific equipment, and the incorporation of a manual steering column. The cockpit also incorporates an emergency transporter system for the flight crew.<br />
The two-man crew is composed of a pilot and gunner station, both working in tandem to maximize the Vendetta’s systems. The flight suits the crew wears provide reserve life-support functions, and there has been no accommodations made for crew relaxation or rest outside of their flight seats. The Vendetta’s is small enough to operate from a standard shuttlebay, and it can also dock using the ventral docking port, which also serves as the crews’ primary hatch.<br />
The escape pod, is incorporated into the forward fuselage/cockpit and is designed to separate from the engineering section of the fighter. In the event of catastrophic damage, the crew can eject the forward 1/3 of the Vendetta and get clear of the explosion. In this mode, the cockpit can serve as a standard escape pod, complete with reentry capabilities and an encoded subspace distress beacon. The Vendetta also features a low-powered tractor beam system. This allows the Vendetta to be used to retrieve escape pods, cargo, and allows it to tow other fighters back to the base of operations.<br />
<br><br />
The Vendetta is built around the two Type U plus Micro pulse phaser cannon, which are considered its primary weapon system. Two conventional Type V phaser arrays have been incorporated along the Vendetta dorsal and ventral spine as defensive weapons. The Type V phasers are also intended to deter pursing spacecraft, and when an experienced pilot/gunner team utilizes the Vendetta’s capabilities they can be used to herd enemies into firing position.<br />
The Vendetta’s close-range weaponry has been augmented by the addition of two micro-torpedo launchers. These are utilized during short-range strafing attacks, and when the Vendetta is utilized to support Maquis ground units and a photon torpedo strike would endanger friendly and enemy units alike.<br />

<div>Diligent Class<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
By 2376 the Dominion War was over and Starfleet was faced with the herculean task of rebuilding the fleet. While classes like the Akira, Intrepid, Saber, Defiant, Steamrunner, and even Nebula, Galaxy, and Sovereign were being produced at record rates to bolster Starfleet’s numbers, it was decided that new designs were also needed to address gaps in functionality made apparent during the war.<br />
<br />
The Defiant Class, for instance, demonstrated vividly the difference between a vessel designed primarily for exploration and one designed primarily for combat. While the war was over and diplomatic and scientific discovery needed to resume, Command decided it was not about to grow lax and so called for a vessel with a compact design and significant combat capabilities, like the Defiant, that also had the capacity to execute scientific, diplomatic and explorative missions on a small scale, when larger explorers were not required.<br />
<br />
The Diligent Class was the resulting proposal. Stolen by the then Lt. Tolleson on a SSD covert mission and put into construction under his command. Equipped with the latest technology, including bio-neural circuitry, new sensor suites and propulsion systems, at the expense of being somewhat larger, it represented an overall improvement over the smaller Defiant Class in terms of non-combat mission interoperability, while still maintaining nearly the same combat potential. However, this vessel was not designed to replace the Defiant class project, but to supplement it and other small vessels designed for short-range exploratory missions. It sacrifices the heavy pulse phaser cannons and greater maneuverability of the smaller vessel for a high top speed and creature comforts for its crew.<br />
<br />
<br />
Compared to the Defiant, crew accommodations are increased greatly, officers ranked Lieutenant jg and above have their own staterooms, Ensigns, warrant officers, and chief petty officers share bunked quarters, with one other person, while petty officers and below share quarters with three other crewmen. The starship is equipped with two holodecks as well as a fully equipped mess hall.<br />
<br />
The ship is also equipped with two sets of VIP quarters and a conference lounge, facilities not featured aboard a Defiant, Raptor, or Saber Class,<br />
which makes it capable of undertaking diplomatic missions between two to three parties. This capability, combined with her impressive weapons<br />
array, makes the Diligent suitable for second or third contact missions with new races or to mediate disputes between small spacefaring powers. In<br />
essence, the Diligent has the ability to ‘fight her way out’ should negotiations fail.<br />
<br />
Medical systems take heavy inspiration from the Nova and Intrepid Class starships. They include one standard sickbay module, with an attached<br />
medical lab, as well as a secondary ward and morgue. There are also provisions aboard to convert one of the vessel's standard science labs to work as a medical lab if there’s ever a medical crisis. The ship takes a cue from the Prometheus Class in having full-ship holographic projectors that allow the ship's EMH to work anywhere on the vessel.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Diligent's warp propulsion system is based off of innovations made by both the Intrepid and Sovereign Class projects. The warp coils are based<br />
off of a scaled-down Sovereign platform, while the warp core is a dilithium 'swirl' chamber, based off of the Intrepid Class design, which allows for excellent power and speed. The warp engines are mounted on variable orientation pylons. When not at warp the nacelles are held close to the ship, minimizing the ship's target profile from the front and rear. This affords the nacelles some amount of protection since they are less exposed. Shortly before going to warp, the nacelles are deployed to help create a warp field that does not harm subspace, similar to the way an Intrepid Class vessel's nacelles pivot upwards prior to engaging warp speeds.<br />
<br />
While the Diligent Class boasts notable improvements over the Defiant Class, and other similarly sized vessels, it is not without reproach. Designers were unable to find a way to install impulse engines capable of making the Class as maneuverable at sublight speeds than its smaller cousins, for instance. Instead, the Diligent relies upon complete weapons arc coverage, hence the reason for the large number of phaser arrays incorporated into the design. All of the vessel's torpedo launchers are capable of launching a complement of standard probes, negating the need for a specific probe launcher.<br />
<br />
The vessel's single shuttlebay is not fitted for carrying fighters or large runabouts. A typical Diligent Class ship carries two shuttles.<br />
<br />
Typical missions for the Diligent Class include border patrol, light exploration, convoy escort, and tactical interdiction. It is not suited for duty as a deep space exploratory vessel with missions longer than a year, due to its size, but it can certainly handle more local missions based out of a starbase or deep space station.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
-2376: Starfleet issues a brief for a 'heavy escort' that can complement the Defiant class, but able to better under take close-in exploration missions.<br />
Design plans commence at the ASDB ( where FCapt. Tolleson stole them).<br />
<br />
-2377: Designs plans are submitted and the Diligent project is approved. Primary design work begins on the Diligent Class and the primary hull<br />
construction begins. By late in the year design work is still continuing with weapons designs from the Sovereign class integrated.<br />
<br />
-2378: Warp coils are based off of a scaled-down Sovereign platform, while the warp core is a dilithium 'swirl' chamber, based off of the Intrepid Class<br />
design.<br />
-May: Basic chassis is manufactured and central computer core is Gamma Welded into place. Modified Luna class sensor suite integrated into the design.<br />
-July: Ablative Amour arrives from the Arteries Ship Yard. Outer hull is nearing 74% completion except.<br />
-November: Warpcore arrives and is Gamma welded into place. Outer hull fully sealed and internal fitting begins. Warp coils arrive and are welded into<br />
place.<br />
<br />
-2379:<br />
-February: Warp nacelles designed, including 'sliding' pylons. Bridge module is attached. Crew quarter are fitted. Computer becomes self aware. Structural<br />
latching systems pass reviews.<br />
-April: Ablative Amour arrives and is installed over the hull. Preliminary testing of all systems complete.<br />
-August: Ship completes its first warp jump. Problems are discovered with the nacelle pylons and the SIF (Structural integrity field). Modification to the<br />
nacelles made, correcting problems. SIF is boosted by 15%. Testing of basic systems continues.<br />
<br />
-2380: Impulse systems pass Review Three and being autonomous low level power control. Secondary Back up Generators are shut down and become Auxiliary system<br />
control. Warp Stress Coating is applied. <br />
-2381: MFS McNelly returns to badlands and MFI HQ. All primary tests have passed Review 4. The McNelly receives final exterior markings and paint. On 19, August.<br />
<br />
-2381 the MFS McNelly is officially commissioned by Maquis Command during a brief Ceremony. Bridge Plaque is put in pride of place and FCapt. Michael Tolleson takes command of the Ship. USS Diligent leaves the Badlands for shakedown cruise, estimated to last 6 months.<br />

<br />
== Welcome to MFI Operations ==<br />
Maquis Forces International Operations is the central coordinating point for all of our members. While individual Cells/Ships/Units are self governing, our various operations above cell level are coordinated by the Staff of Operations. <br><br />
<br />
My Second in command is the official backup Chief of Operations who works closely with myself to ensure the smooth running of the entire Operations Department. Said person also is the Head of our Membership Department. She is responsible for processing new members and cells. Awards are another responsibility she oversees. She also works very closely with the CompOps Department to ensure our database is kept up to date. <br><br />
<br />
My staff of Zone Coordinators keeps in touch with the COs of the various Cells by region, helping units as needed. In addition, my Office receives regular reports from the various Branches [such as MFMC, KTF, MRL, and limited reports from both SOC and SSD] on their activities and overall health. <br><br />
<br />
Please feel free to contact my office if you have any questions. <br><br />
<br />
Thank you and look forward to working with everyone of you <br><br />

<div>Diligent Class<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
By 2376 the Dominion War was over and Starfleet was faced with the herculean task of rebuilding the fleet. While classes like the Akira, Intrepid, Saber, Defiant, Steamrunner, and even Nebula, Galaxy, and Sovereign were being produced at record rates to bolster Starfleet’s numbers, it was decided that new designs were also needed to address gaps in functionality made apparent during the war.<br />
<br />
The Defiant Class, for instance, demonstrated vividly the difference between a vessel designed primarily for exploration and one designed primarily for combat. While the war was over and diplomatic and scientific discovery needed to resume, Command decided it was not about to grow lax and so called for a vessel with a compact design and significant combat capabilities, like the Defiant, that also had the capacity to execute scientific, diplomatic and explorative missions on a small scale, when larger explorers were not required.<br />
<br />
The Diligent Class was the resulting proposal. Stolen by the then Lt. Tolleson on a SSD covert mission and put into construction under his command. Equipped with the latest technology, including bio-neural circuitry, new sensor suites and propulsion systems, at the expense of being somewhat larger, it represented an overall improvement over the smaller Defiant Class in terms of non-combat mission interoperability, while still maintaining nearly the same combat potential. However, this vessel was not designed to replace the Defiant class project, but to supplement it and other small vessels designed for short-range exploratory missions. It sacrifices the heavy pulse phaser cannons and greater maneuverability of the smaller vessel for a high top speed and creature comforts for its crew.<br />
<br />
<br />
Compared to the Defiant, crew accommodations are increased greatly, officers ranked Lieutenant jg and above have their own staterooms, Ensigns, warrant officers, and chief petty officers share bunked quarters, with one other person, while petty officers and below share quarters with three other crewmen. The starship is equipped with two holodecks as well as a fully equipped mess hall.<br />
<br />
The ship is also equipped with two sets of VIP quarters and a conference lounge, facilities not featured aboard a Defiant, Raptor, or Saber Class,<br />
which makes it capable of undertaking diplomatic missions between two to three parties. This capability, combined with her impressive weapons<br />
array, makes the Diligent suitable for second or third contact missions with new races or to mediate disputes between small spacefaring powers. In<br />
essence, the Diligent has the ability to ‘fight her way out’ should negotiations fail.<br />
<br />
Medical systems take heavy inspiration from the Nova and Intrepid Class starships. They include one standard sickbay module, with an attached<br />
medical lab, as well as a secondary ward and morgue. There are also provisions aboard to convert one of the vessel's standard science labs to work as a medical lab if there’s ever a medical crisis. The ship takes a cue from the Prometheus Class in having full-ship holographic projectors that allow the ship's EMH to work anywhere on the vessel.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Diligent's warp propulsion system is based off of innovations made by both the Intrepid and Sovereign Class projects. The warp coils are based<br />
off of a scaled-down Sovereign platform, while the warp core is a dilithium 'swirl' chamber, based off of the Intrepid Class design, which allows for excellent power and speed. The warp engines are mounted on variable orientation pylons. When not at warp the nacelles are held close to the ship, minimizing the ship's target profile from the front and rear. This affords the nacelles some amount of protection since they are less exposed. Shortly before going to warp, the nacelles are deployed to help create a warp field that does not harm subspace, similar to the way an Intrepid Class vessel's nacelles pivot upwards prior to engaging warp speeds.<br />
<br />
While the Diligent Class boasts notable improvements over the Defiant Class, and other similarly sized vessels, it is not without reproach. Designers were unable to find a way to install impulse engines capable of making the Class as maneuverable at sublight speeds than its smaller cousins, for instance. Instead, the Diligent relies upon complete weapons arc coverage, hence the reason for the large number of phaser arrays incorporated into the design. All of the vessel's torpedo launchers are capable of launching a complement of standard probes, negating the need for a specific probe launcher.<br />
<br />
The vessel's single shuttlebay is not fitted for carrying fighters or large runabouts. A typical Diligent Class ship carries two shuttles.<br />
<br />
Typical missions for the Diligent Class include border patrol, light exploration, convoy escort, and tactical interdiction. It is not suited for duty as a deep space exploratory vessel with missions longer than a year, due to its size, but it can certainly handle more local missions based out of a starbase or deep space station.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
-2376: Starfleet issues a brief for a 'heavy escort' that can complement the Defiant class, but able to better under take close-in exploration missions.<br />
Design plans commence at the ASDB ( where FCapt. Tolleson stole them).<br />
<br />
-2377: Designs plans are submitted and the Diligent project is approved. Primary design work begins on the Diligent Class and the primary hull<br />
construction begins. By late in the year design work is still continuing with weapons designs from the Sovereign class integrated.<br />
<br />
-2378: Warp coils are based off of a scaled-down Sovereign platform, while the warp core is a dilithium 'swirl' chamber, based off of the Intrepid Class<br />
design.<br />
-May: Basic chassis is manufactured and central computer core is Gamma Welded into place. Modified Luna class sensor suite integrated into the design.<br />
-July: Ablative Amour arrives from the Arteries Ship Yard. Outer hull is nearing 74% completion except.<br />
-November: Warpcore arrives and is Gamma welded into place. Outer hull fully sealed and internal fitting begins. Warp coils arrive and are welded into<br />
place.<br />
<br />
-2379:<br />
-February: Warp nacelles designed, including 'sliding' pylons. Bridge module is attached. Crew quarter are fitted. Computer becomes self aware. Structural<br />
latching systems pass reviews.<br />
-April: Ablative Amour arrives and is installed over the hull. Preliminary testing of all systems complete.<br />
-August: Ship completes its first warp jump. Problems are discovered with the nacelle pylons and the SIF (Structural integrity field). Modification to the<br />
nacelles made, correcting problems. SIF is boosted by 15%. Testing of basic systems continues.<br />
<br />
-2380: Impulse systems pass Review Three and being autonomous low level power control. Secondary Back up Generators are shut down and become Auxiliary system<br />
control. Warp Stress Coating is applied. <br />
-2381: MFS McNelly returns to badlands and MFI HQ. All primary tests have passed Review 4. The McNelly receives final exterior markings and paint. On 19, August.<br />
<br />
-2381 the MFS McNelly is officially commissioned by Maquis Command during a brief Ceremony. Bridge Plaque is put in pride of place and FCapt. Michael Tolleson takes command of the Ship. USS Diligent leaves the Badlands for shakedown cruise, estimated to last 6 months.<br />

<div>Diligent Class<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
By 2376 the Dominion War was over and Starfleet was faced with the herculean task of rebuilding the fleet. While classes like the Akira, Intrepid, Saber, Defiant, Steamrunner, and even Nebula, Galaxy, and Sovereign were being produced at record rates to bolster Starfleet’s numbers, it was decided that new designs were also needed to address gaps in functionality made apparent during the war.<br />
<br />
The Defiant Class, for instance, demonstrated vividly the difference between a vessel designed primarily for exploration and one designed primarily for combat. While the war was over and diplomatic and scientific discovery needed to resume, Command decided it was not about to grow lax and so called for a vessel with a compact design and significant combat capabilities, like the Defiant, that also had the capacity to execute scientific, diplomatic and explorative missions on a small scale, when larger explorers were not required.<br />
<br />
The Diligent Class was the resulting proposal. Stolen by the then FCapt. Tolleson on a SSD covert mission and put into construction under his command. Equipped with the latest technology, including bio-neural circuitry, new sensor suites and propulsion systems, at the expense of being somewhat larger, it represented an overall improvement over the smaller Defiant Class in terms of non-combat mission interoperability, while still maintaining nearly the same combat potential. However, this vessel was not designed to replace the Defiant class project, but to supplement it and other small vessels designed for short-range exploratory missions. It sacrifices the heavy pulse phaser cannons and greater maneuverability of the smaller vessel for a high top speed and creature comforts for its crew.<br />
<br />
<br />
Compared to the Defiant, crew accommodations are increased greatly, officers ranked Lieutenant jg and above have their own staterooms, Ensigns, warrant officers, and chief petty officers share bunked quarters, with one other person, while petty officers and below share quarters with three other crewmen. The starship is equipped with two holodecks as well as a fully equipped mess hall.<br />
<br />
The ship is also equipped with two sets of VIP quarters and a conference lounge, facilities not featured aboard a Defiant, Raptor, or Saber Class,<br />
which makes it capable of undertaking diplomatic missions between two to three parties. This capability, combined with her impressive weapons<br />
array, makes the Diligent suitable for second or third contact missions with new races or to mediate disputes between small spacefaring powers. In<br />
essence, the Diligent has the ability to ‘fight her way out’ should negotiations fail.<br />
<br />
Medical systems take heavy inspiration from the Nova and Intrepid Class starships. They include one standard sickbay module, with an attached<br />
medical lab, as well as a secondary ward and morgue. There are also provisions aboard to convert one of the vessel's standard science labs to work as a medical lab if there’s ever a medical crisis. The ship takes a cue from the Prometheus Class in having full-ship holographic projectors that allow the ship's EMH to work anywhere on the vessel.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Diligent's warp propulsion system is based off of innovations made by both the Intrepid and Sovereign Class projects. The warp coils are based<br />
off of a scaled-down Sovereign platform, while the warp core is a dilithium 'swirl' chamber, based off of the Intrepid Class design, which allows for excellent power and speed. The warp engines are mounted on variable orientation pylons. When not at warp the nacelles are held close to the ship, minimizing the ship's target profile from the front and rear. This affords the nacelles some amount of protection since they are less exposed. Shortly before going to warp, the nacelles are deployed to help create a warp field that does not harm subspace, similar to the way an Intrepid Class vessel's nacelles pivot upwards prior to engaging warp speeds.<br />
<br />
While the Diligent Class boasts notable improvements over the Defiant Class, and other similarly sized vessels, it is not without reproach. Designers were unable to find a way to install impulse engines capable of making the Class as maneuverable at sublight speeds than its smaller cousins, for instance. Instead, the Diligent relies upon complete weapons arc coverage, hence the reason for the large number of phaser arrays incorporated into the design. All of the vessel's torpedo launchers are capable of launching a complement of standard probes, negating the need for a specific probe launcher.<br />
<br />
The vessel's single shuttlebay is not fitted for carrying fighters or large runabouts. A typical Diligent Class ship carries two shuttles.<br />
<br />
Typical missions for the Diligent Class include border patrol, light exploration, convoy escort, and tactical interdiction. It is not suited for duty as a deep space exploratory vessel with missions longer than a year, due to its size, but it can certainly handle more local missions based out of a starbase or deep space station.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
-2376: Starfleet issues a brief for a 'heavy escort' that can complement the Defiant class, but able to better under take close-in exploration missions.<br />
Design plans commence at the ASDB ( where FCapt. Tolleson stole them).<br />
<br />
-2377: Designs plans are submitted and the Diligent project is approved. Primary design work begins on the Diligent Class and the primary hull<br />
construction begins. By late in the year design work is still continuing with weapons designs from the Sovereign class integrated.<br />
<br />
-2378: Warp coils are based off of a scaled-down Sovereign platform, while the warp core is a dilithium 'swirl' chamber, based off of the Intrepid Class<br />
design.<br />
-May: Basic chassis is manufactured and central computer core is Gamma Welded into place. Modified Luna class sensor suite integrated into the design.<br />
-July: Ablative Amour arrives from the Arteries Ship Yard. Outer hull is nearing 74% completion except.<br />
-November: Warpcore arrives and is Gamma welded into place. Outer hull fully sealed and internal fitting begins. Warp coils arrive and are welded into<br />
place.<br />
<br />
-2379:<br />
-February: Warp nacelles designed, including 'sliding' pylons. Bridge module is attached. Crew quarter are fitted. Computer becomes self aware. Structural<br />
latching systems pass reviews.<br />
-April: Ablative Amour arrives and is installed over the hull. Preliminary testing of all systems complete.<br />
-August: Ship completes its first warp jump. Problems are discovered with the nacelle pylons and the SIF (Structural integrity field). Modification to the<br />
nacelles made, correcting problems. SIF is boosted by 15%. Testing of basic systems continues.<br />
<br />
-2380: Impulse systems pass Review Three and being autonomous low level power control. Secondary Back up Generators are shut down and become Auxiliary system<br />
control. Warp Stress Coating is applied. <br />
-2381: MFS McNelly returns to badlands and MFI HQ. All primary tests have passed Review 4. The McNelly receives final exterior markings and paint. On 19, August.<br />
<br />
-2381 the MFS McNelly is officially commissioned by Maquis Command during a brief Ceremony. Bridge Plaque is put in pride of place and FCapt. Michael Tolleson takes command of the Ship. USS Diligent leaves the Badlands for shakedown cruise, estimated to last 6 months.<br />

<div>Diligent Class<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
By 2376 the Dominion War was over and Starfleet was faced with the herculean task of rebuilding the fleet. While classes like the Akira, Intrepid, Saber, Defiant, Steamrunner, and even Nebula, Galaxy, and Sovereign were being produced at record rates to bolster Starfleet’s numbers, it was decided that new designs were also needed to address gaps in functionality made apparent during the war.<br />
<br />
The Defiant Class, for instance, demonstrated vividly the difference between a vessel designed primarily for exploration and one designed primarily for combat. While the war was over and diplomatic and scientific discovery needed to resume, Command decided it was not about to grow lax and so called for a vessel with a compact design and significant combat capabilities, like the Defiant, that also had the capacity to execute scientific, diplomatic and explorative missions on a small scale, when larger explorers were not required.<br />
<br />
The Diligent Class was the resulting proposal. Stolen by the then Col. Tolleson on a SSD covert mission and put into construction under his command. Equipped with the latest technology, including bio-neural circuitry, new sensor suites and propulsion systems, at the expense of being somewhat larger, it represented an overall improvement over the smaller Defiant Class in terms of non-combat mission interoperability, while still maintaining nearly the same combat potential. However, this vessel was not designed to replace the Defiant class project, but to supplement it and other small vessels designed for short-range exploratory missions. It sacrifices the heavy pulse phaser cannons and greater maneuverability of the smaller vessel for a high top speed and creature comforts for its crew.<br />
<br />
<br />
Compared to the Defiant, crew accommodations are increased greatly, officers ranked Lieutenant jg and above have their own staterooms, Ensigns, warrant officers, and chief petty officers share bunked quarters, with one other person, while petty officers and below share quarters with three other crewmen. The starship is equipped with two holodecks as well as a fully equipped mess hall.<br />
<br />
The ship is also equipped with two sets of VIP quarters and a conference lounge, facilities not featured aboard a Defiant, Raptor, or Saber Class,<br />
which makes it capable of undertaking diplomatic missions between two to three parties. This capability, combined with her impressive weapons<br />
array, makes the Diligent suitable for second or third contact missions with new races or to mediate disputes between small spacefaring powers. In<br />
essence, the Diligent has the ability to ‘fight her way out’ should negotiations fail.<br />
<br />
Medical systems take heavy inspiration from the Nova and Intrepid Class starships. They include one standard sickbay module, with an attached<br />
medical lab, as well as a secondary ward and morgue. There are also provisions aboard to convert one of the vessel's standard science labs to work as a medical lab if there’s ever a medical crisis. The ship takes a cue from the Prometheus Class in having full-ship holographic projectors that allow the ship's EMH to work anywhere on the vessel.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Diligent's warp propulsion system is based off of innovations made by both the Intrepid and Sovereign Class projects. The warp coils are based<br />
off of a scaled-down Sovereign platform, while the warp core is a dilithium 'swirl' chamber, based off of the Intrepid Class design, which allows for excellent power and speed. The warp engines are mounted on variable orientation pylons. When not at warp the nacelles are held close to the ship, minimizing the ship's target profile from the front and rear. This affords the nacelles some amount of protection since they are less exposed. Shortly before going to warp, the nacelles are deployed to help create a warp field that does not harm subspace, similar to the way an Intrepid Class vessel's nacelles pivot upwards prior to engaging warp speeds.<br />
<br />
While the Diligent Class boasts notable improvements over the Defiant Class, and other similarly sized vessels, it is not without reproach. Designers were unable to find a way to install impulse engines capable of making the Class as maneuverable at sublight speeds than its smaller cousins, for instance. Instead, the Diligent relies upon complete weapons arc coverage, hence the reason for the large number of phaser arrays incorporated into the design. All of the vessel's torpedo launchers are capable of launching a complement of standard probes, negating the need for a specific probe launcher.<br />
<br />
The vessel's single shuttlebay is not fitted for carrying fighters or large runabouts. A typical Diligent Class ship carries two shuttles.<br />
<br />
Typical missions for the Diligent Class include border patrol, light exploration, convoy escort, and tactical interdiction. It is not suited for duty as a deep space exploratory vessel with missions longer than a year, due to its size, but it can certainly handle more local missions based out of a starbase or deep space station.<br />

<div>Diligent Class<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
By 2376 the Dominion War was over and Starfleet was faced with the herculean task of rebuilding the fleet. While classes like the Akira, Intrepid, Saber, Defiant, Steamrunner, and even Nebula, Galaxy, and Sovereign were being produced at record rates to bolster Starfleet’s numbers, it was decided that new designs were also needed to address gaps in functionality made apparent during the war.<br />
<br />
The Defiant Class, for instance, demonstrated vividly the difference between a vessel designed primarily for exploration and one designed primarily for combat. While the war was over and diplomatic and scientific discovery needed to resume, Command decided it was not about to grow lax and so called for a vessel with a compact design and significant combat capabilities, like the Defiant, that also had the capacity to execute scientific, diplomatic and explorative missions on a small scale, when larger explorers were not required.<br />
<br />
The Diligent Class was the resulting proposal. Stolen by the then Col. Tolleson on a SSD covert mission and put into construction under his command. Equipped with the latest technology, including bio-neural circuitry, new sensor suites and propulsion systems, at the expense of being somewhat larger, it represented an overall improvement over the smaller Defiant Class in terms of non-combat mission interoperability, while still maintaining nearly the same combat potential. However, this vessel was not designed to replace the Defiant class project, but to supplement it and other small vessels designed for short-range exploratory missions. It sacrifices the heavy pulse phaser cannons and greater maneuverability of the smaller vessel for a high top speed and creature comforts for its crew.<br />
<br />
<br />
Compared to the Defiant, crew accommodations are increased greatly, officers ranked Lieutenant jg and above have their own staterooms, Ensigns, warrant officers, and chief petty officers share bunked quarters, with one other person, while petty officers and below share quarters with three other crewmen. The starship is equipped with two holodecks as well as a fully equipped mess hall.<br />
<br />
The ship is also equipped with two sets of VIP quarters and a conference lounge, facilities not featured aboard a Defiant, Raptor, or Saber Class,<br />
which makes it capable of undertaking diplomatic missions between two to three parties. This capability, combined with her impressive weapons<br />
array, makes the Diligent suitable for second or third contact missions with new races or to mediate disputes between small spacefaring powers. In<br />
essence, the Diligent has the ability to ‘fight her way out’ should negotiations fail.<br />
<br />
Medical systems take heavy inspiration from the Nova and Intrepid Class starships. They include one standard sickbay module, with an attached<br />
medical lab, as well as a secondary ward and morgue. There are also provisions aboard to convert one of the vessel's standard science labs to work as a medical lab if there’s ever a medical crisis. The ship takes a cue from the Prometheus Class in having full-ship holographic projectors that allow the ship's EMH to work anywhere on the vessel.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Diligent's warp propulsion system is based off of innovations made by both the Intrepid and Sovereign Class projects. The warp coils are based<br />
off of a scaled-down Sovereign platform, while the warp core is a dilithium 'swirl' chamber, based off of the Intrepid Class design, which allows for excellent power and speed. The warp engines are mounted on variable orientation pylons. When not at warp the nacelles are held close to the ship, minimizing the ship's target profile from the front and rear. This affords the nacelles some amount of protection since they are less exposed. Shortly before going to warp, the nacelles are deployed to help create a warp field that does not harm subspace, similar to the way an Intrepid Class vessel's nacelles pivot upwards prior to engaging warp speeds.<br />
<br />
While the Diligent Class boasts notable improvements over the Defiant Class, and other similarly sized vessels, it is not without reproach. Designers were unable to find a way to install impulse engines capable of making the Class as maneuverable at sublight speeds than its smaller cousins, for instance. Instead, the Diligent relies upon complete weapons arc coverage, hence the reason for the large number of phaser arrays incorporated into the design. All of the vessel's torpedo launchers are capable of launching a complement of standard probes, negating the need for a specific probe launcher.<br />
<br />
The vessel's single shuttlebay is not fitted for carrying fighters or large runabouts. A typical Diligent Class ship carries two shuttles.<br />
<br />
Typical missions for the Diligent Class include border patrol, light exploration, convoy escort, and tactical interdiction. It is not suited for duty as a deep space exploratory vessel with missions longer than a year, due to its size, but it can certainly handle more local missions based out of a starbase or deep space station.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
-2376: Starfleet issues a brief for a 'heavy escort' that can complement the Defiant class, but able to better under take close-in exploration missions.<br />
Design plans commence at the ASDB ( where Col. Tolleson stole them).<br />
<br />
-2377: Designs plans are submitted and the Diligent project is approved. Primary design work begins on the Diligent Class and the primary hull<br />
construction begins. By late in the year design work is still continuing with weapons designs from the Sovereign class integrated.<br />
<br />
-2378: Warp coils are based off of a scaled-down Sovereign platform, while the warp core is a dilithium 'swirl' chamber, based off of the Intrepid Class<br />
design.<br />
-May: Basic chassis is manufactured and central computer core is Gamma Welded into place. Modified Luna class sensor suite integrated into the design.<br />
-July: Ablative Amour arrives from the Arteries Ship Yard. Outer hull is nearing 74% completion except.<br />
-November: Warpcore arrives and is Gamma welded into place. Outer hull fully sealed and internal fitting begins. Warp coils arrive and are welded into<br />
place.<br />
<br />
-2379:<br />
-February: Warp nacelles designed, including 'sliding' pylons. Bridge module is attached. Crew quarter are fitted. Computer becomes self aware. Structural<br />
latching systems pass reviews.<br />
-April: Ablative Amour arrives and is installed over the hull. Preliminary testing of all systems complete.<br />
-August: Ship completes its first warp jump. Problems are discovered with the nacelle pylons and the SIF (Structural integrity field). Modification to the<br />
nacelles made, correcting problems. SIF is boosted by 15%. Testing of basic systems continues.<br />
<br />
-2380: Impulse systems pass Review Three and being autonomous low level power control. Secondary Back up Generators are shut down and become Auxiliary system<br />
control. Warp Stress Coating is applied. Chassis completed on an additional three vessels.<br />
-2381: USS Diligent returns to Utopia Planitia. All primary tests have passed Review 4. USS Diligent receives final exterior markings and paint. On 19, August.<br />
<br />
-2381 the USS Diligent is officially commissioned by Starfleet during a brief Ceremony. Bridge Plaque is put in pride of place and FCol Michael Tolleson <br />
takes command of the Ship. USS Diligent leaves the Badlands for shakedown cruise, estimated to last 6 months.<br />

<div>Diligent Class<br />
<br />
<br />
By 2376 the Dominion War was over and Starfleet was faced with the herculean task of rebuilding the fleet. While classes like the Akira, Intrepid, Saber, Defiant, Steamrunner, and even Nebula, Galaxy, and Sovereign were being produced at record rates to bolster Starfleet’s numbers, it was decided that new designs were also needed to address gaps in functionality made apparent during the war.<br />
<br />
The Defiant Class, for instance, demonstrated vividly the difference between a vessel designed primarily for exploration and one designed primarily for combat.

However, this vessel was not designed to replace the Defiant class project, but to supplement it and other small vessels designed for short-range exploratory missions. It sacrifices the heavy pulse phaser cannons and greater maneuverability of the smaller vessel for a high top speed and creature comforts for its crew.<br />

Medical systems take heavy inspiration from the Nova and Intrepid Class starships. They include one standard sickbay module, with an attached<br />
medical lab, as well as a secondary ward and morgue. There are also provisions aboard to convert one of the vessel's standard science labs to work as a medical lab if there’s ever a medical crisis. The ship takes a cue from the Prometheus Class in having full-ship holographic projectors that allow the ship's EMH to work anywhere on the vessel.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Diligent's warp propulsion system is based off of innovations made by both the Intrepid and Sovereign Class projects. The warp coils are based<br />
off of a scaled-down Sovereign platform, while the warp core is a dilithium 'swirl' chamber, based off of the Intrepid Class design, which allows for excellent power and speed. The warp engines are mounted on variable orientation pylons. When not at warp the nacelles are held close to the ship, minimizing the ship's target profile from the front and rear. This affords the nacelles some amount of protection since they are less exposed. Shortly before going to warp, the nacelles are deployed to help create a warp field that does not harm subspace, similar to the way an Intrepid Class vessel's nacelles pivot upwards prior to engaging warp speeds.<br />
<br />
While the Diligent Class boasts notable improvements over the Defiant Class, and other similarly sized vessels, it is not without reproach. Designers were unable to find a way to install impulse engines capable of making the Class as maneuverable at sublight speeds than its smaller cousins, for instance. Instead, the Diligent relies upon complete weapons arc coverage, hence the reason for the large number of phaser arrays incorporated into the design. All of the vessel's torpedo launchers are capable of launching a complement of standard probes, negating the need for a specific probe launcher.<br />
<br />
The vessel's single shuttlebay is not fitted for carrying fighters or large runabouts. A typical Diligent Class ship carries two shuttles.<br />
<br />
Typical missions for the Diligent Class include border patrol, light exploration, convoy escort, and tactical interdiction. It is not suited for duty as a deep space exploratory vessel with missions longer than a year, due to its size, but it can certainly handle more local missions based out of a starbase or deep space station.<br />

<div>Diligent Class<br />
<br />
<br />
By 2376 the Dominion War was over and Starfleet was faced with the herculean task of rebuilding the fleet. While classes like the Akira, Intrepid, Saber, Defiant, Steamrunner, and even Nebula, Galaxy, and Sovereign were being produced at record rates to bolster Starfleet’s numbers, it was decided that new designs were also needed to address gaps in functionality made apparent during the war.<br />
<br />
The Defiant Class, for instance, demonstrated vividly the difference between a vessel designed primarily for exploration and one designed primarily for combat. While the war was over and diplomatic and scientific discovery needed to resume, Command decided it was not about to grow lax and so called for a vessel with a compact design and significant combat capabilities, like the Defiant, that also had the capacity to execute scientific, diplomatic and explorative missions on a small scale, when larger explorers were not required.<br />
<br />
The Diligent Class was the resulting proposal. Stolen by the then Col. Tolleson on a SSD covert mission and put into construction under his command. Equipped with the latest technology, including bio-neural circuitry, new sensor suites and propulsion systems, at the expense of being somewhat larger, it represented an overall improvement over the smaller Defiant Class in terms of non-combat mission interoperability, while still maintaining nearly the same combat potential. However, this vessel was not designed to replace the Defiant class project, but to supplement it and other small vessels designed for short-range exploratory missions. It sacrifices the heavy pulse phaser cannons and greater maneuverability of the smaller vessel for a high top speed and creature comforts for its crew.<br />
<br />
<br />
Compared to the Defiant, crew accommodations are increased greatly, officers ranked Lieutenant jg and above have their own staterooms, Ensigns, warrant officers, and chief petty officers share bunked quarters, with one other person, while petty officers and below share quarters with three other crewmen. The starship is equipped with two holodecks as well as a fully equipped mess hall.<br />
<br />
The ship is also equipped with two sets of VIP quarters and a conference lounge, facilities not featured aboard a Defiant, Raptor, or Saber Class,<br />
which makes it capable of undertaking diplomatic missions between two to three parties. This capability, combined with her impressive weapons<br />
array, makes the Diligent suitable for second or third contact missions with new races or to mediate disputes between small spacefaring powers. In<br />
essence, the Diligent has the ability to ‘fight her way out’ should negotiations fail.<br />
<br />
Medical systems take heavy inspiration from the Nova and Intrepid Class starships. They include one standard sickbay module, with an attached<br />
medical lab, as well as a secondary ward and morgue. There are also provisions aboard to convert one of the vessel's standard science labs to work as a medical lab if there’s ever a medical crisis.

<br />
A Brief Note from Maquis Marine Aerospace Aviation Commander:<br />
<br />
Congratulations on your assignment to a fighter squadron of the MFI. This assignment is an indication of Fleet's confidence in your skills and potential. By joining a fighter squadron, you become part of a proud tradition which extends back, not merely to the formation of your squadron, nor to the beginning of the Orca Project, nor yet even to the founding of the Maquis, but to the day when one member of your species first took up arms in the defense of another. Today, fighter pilots put themselves in the way of danger, protecting the citizens of the Maquis just as their predecessors have done for generations. It should by no means be imagined, however, that only the pilots are vital to the success of a squadron's mission. Without a staff full of mechanics, technicians, logistics specialists, intelligence analysts, stellar cartographers, mission planners, yeomen and mess specialists, the fighters could not fly and the pilots could not perform at peak efficiency. <br />
<br />
There are no insignificant jobs in a fighter squadron. Whoever you are, whatever your job, you have demonstrated your excellence. Now, we of the squadron are counting on you to continue that excellence, so that together we can fulfill the awesome responsibility we have -- to go in harm's way. <br />
<br />
Flight Major Don Anderson <br />
CO, VMF-101 Marine Aviation Squadron 101 "The Jolly Rogers"<br />
<br />
<br />
SORM Section 1 - VMF Marine Squadron Organization; an Introduction<br />
<br />
A Marine fighter squadron is a large and complex organization which uses a hierarchal structure to function efficiently. Similar to a starship, a squadron has a Commanding Officer, an Executive Officer (sometimes called a First Officer), and various divisions and departments, each with a Department Head, as well as various officers and enlisted specialists. <br />
However, unlike the average starship a fighter squadron is specialized, dedicated to the task of maintaining, supporting, and fielding fighters at peak efficiency. <br />
The staff of a fighter squadron is divided into four departments: <br />
Flight, Operations, Engineering, and Logistics. Each department has a department head, usually the senior officer in that field. Departments are further divided into divisions, and each division has a division officer (DivO). <br />
<br />
<br />
Flight Department<br />
<br />
Because of the specialized mission of a fighter squadron, both the CO and XO must be pilots. It is not unusual for pilots to also fill billets in the Operations Department, leading to a squadron being smaller than the Table of Organization (TO) would suggest. <br />
<br />
At optimal staffing, a fighter squadron will have 36 pilots. These pilots are subdivided into flights of three to six pilots, and may also be grouped into wings of two or more flights. Flights are led by Flight Leaders, wings by Wing Commanders. <br />
<br />
<br />
Operations Department <br />
<br />
The Operations Department is concerned with the day to day operation of the squadron, and is comprised of the Administration, Intelligence, Navigation, and Communications divisions.<br />
<br />
<br />
Administration Division <br />
<br />
Because of the unique mission of the fighter squadron, and the <br />
resulting deviations from normal MFI duty stations, a squadron orientation officer is assigned. The chaplain has been trained to respond to the religious needs of the crew, and has been trained to recognize & cater to the requirements of a large number of Federation religions. By special arrangements with the majority of the Federation's religious decision-making bodies, this individual has been authorized to effect any of the ceremonies and rituals which may be required during an extended mission, <br />
including marriages, divorces, baptisms, last rites, and other <br />
religion-specific duties. An educational services officer is assigned to assist personnel in furthering their individual knowledge, skills, and educational attainments during long deployments. Administrative specialists (called yeomen) maintain records, ensure accurate reports are made as scheduled, and perform other duties as assigned. Each department has at <br />
least one yeoman. Divisions which require dedicated administrative assistance are also assigned a yeoman who is specifically responsible for that division. The CO's yeoman, along with the senior yeoman, provide direct administrative support to the CO and XO in consolidating and maintaining both internal and external administrative matters. They are also <br />
responsible for ensuring personnel records are up to date, scheduling & tracking personnel and promotion reviews, and departmental personnel assignments. The Command Master Chief is tasked with counseling enlisted crew members in the areas of career, performance, and personal matters, as well as being a direct link between the CO and the enlisted crew. <br />
<br />
<br />
Navigation Division <br />
<br />
The Flight Operations (FlightOps) computer onboard the carrier or <br />
station where the fighter squadron is assigned is the primary source for position updates, chronometer calibration, and course determinations. It uses navigation & time beacons, sensor inputs, and complicated algorithms to ensure that the Navigator is presented with precise, up-to-date data and course plots, so he can pass these on to the fighters of the squadron. It is imperative that the navigational data be monitored and <br />
cross-checked at all times. To this end, Navigational Specialists, called Quartermasters, stand watch in stellar cartography. They are responsible to the CO, XO, and Flight Control Officer of the Watch (FCOW) during their watch. In addition to maintaining an accurate plot of the motions <br />
of the ship or station, the Quartermaster gang is responsible for <br />
updating and maintaining the navigational charts used by the FlightOps computer and the individual fightercraft. Computer technicians are also assigned to the Navigational department to maintain, repair, and oversee the navigational system components and equipment. One technician is on watch at any time Stellar Cartography is manned. <br />
<br />
<br />
Communications Division <br />
<br />
The ability to transmit and receive messages from other ships of the Federation and alien races, Starbases and planets, is an important part of squadron operations. Ensuring this ability to communicate is the task of the Communications Division. Electronics Technicians of the Communications Division perform repair and maintenance on the fightercraft's comm systems, as well as maintaining a communications watch in the squadron's Combat Information Center (CIC). <br />
<br />
<br />
Intelligence Division <br />
<br />
A fighter squadron must always have the most accurate, up-to-date <br />
situational information available. Whether dealing with an established threat like the Romulans, Borg, or Cardassians, or entering a first contact situation with a new, potentially threatening species, the analysts of the Intelligence Division are constantly at work in CIC, sifting through data, analyzing intercepted communications, trying to assemble the best, most complete picture possible of the situation facing the squadron. <br />
<br />
<br />
Engineering Department<br />
<br />
The Engineering Department, led by the Chief Engineer, is responsible for the proper maintenance and repair of impulse and warp drive propulsion, life support systems, fighter weapons systems, deflector systems, ECM and ECCM units, and all other physical components & systems of the Peregrine fighter. Engine Systems Division Engineers assigned to this division have responsibility for maintenance, repair, and calibration of <br />
fighter warp drives, impulse engines, and reaction control system <br />
thrusters. Matter/Antimatter Specialists ensure the efficient tuning of the sealed M/ARA units aboard the Peregrine fighters. Dilithium Crystal technicians monitor the status, consumption rates, and recrystalization of this vital component of the engine. Structural Engineering Specialists monitor and maintain the Inertial Dampening System (IDS) and hull integrity. Life Support Technicians maintain the fighter's artificial gravity generators, atmospheric quality regulators, humidity and temperature regulators. <br />
<br />
<br />
Weapons Systems Division <br />
<br />
Kilogram for kilogram, no unit of the MFI is more powerful than the Peregrine fighter in terms of offensive capacity. The Engineers of this division maintain and repair the pulse phaser cannons and minitorps carried by the fighters. Phaser Technicians carefully maintain and calibrate the pulse phaser cannon carried by the Peregrine, while Torpedoman's Mates care for the launch and stowage systems for the quantum minitorps. <br />
<br />
<br />
Flight Deck Division <br />
<br />
Though the operation and maintenance of the squadron's fighters are the responsibility of the Flight and Engineering departments, respectively, the safe and efficient operation of the hanger decks, launch and recovery bays, and all objects therein fall to the personnel of the Flight Deck Division. <br />
Movement of any craft within the Hanger Bay or on the Flight Deck is controlled by the Flight Deck Officer and by numerous Flight Deck Control Specialists. The CAT officer controls the launch of craft from the Flight Deck, while the Landing Signal Officer controls recovery operations. Plane Captains are enlisted specialists who are assigned individual responsibility for a given fightercraft's maintenance. They take cognizance over the fighter from the moment the pilot climbs out of the cockpit until the moment he/she climbs back in. It is their responsiblity to <br />
have the craft fueled, armed, and provided with accurate navigational data & appropriate charts before flight. <br />
<br />
<br />
Logistics Department<br />
<br />
Though modern fabrication and replication systems onboard ships and stations of the MFI have made routine of most requisition and supply issues, there are still some items which are used in sufficient quantity, or are of sufficient size or complexity that it is more efficient to store finished products than to spend the energy to carry raw materials and synthesize the product on demand. Additionally, significant stores of critical spares and consumables are maintained for use during red alert situations when power for replication or fabrication systems may be unavailable. Logistics department Storekeepers store, maintain, inventory, and deliver such supplies as necessary. <br />
<br />
<br />
Standard Operations <br />
<br />
Alert Conditions <br />
<br />
- Green<br />
<br />
This is the normal status of the squadron. No dangerous conditions exist within the patrol boundaries of the squadron. Watches and Patrols are stood as assigned by the watchbill and PoD. <br />
<br />
- Yellow<br />
<br />
A hazardous or potentially hazardous condition exists either within the squadron's patrol area, or within its immediate vicinity. This condition may be set by the CO, XO, or CIC Officer of the Watch. The on-watch shift remains on duty, and prepares for possible danger. Second shift goes on duty, and joins first shift at duty stations. Third shift is awakened, but does not come on duty. Each station reports to CIC when manned and ready. <br />
<br />
- Red <br />
<br />
Also known as Battle Stations or General Quarters, Red Alert is set when a life threatening condition exists within the squadron's patrol area or its immediate vicinity, or elements of the squadron are in an offensive or defensive situation which has, or may soon result in the use of weapons. May be set by the CO or XO. Third shift goes on duty, and reports to duty stations. All pilots report to their craft, and standby for possible scramble. <br />
<br />
<br />
Daily Routines<br />
<br />
Fighter squadrons, like most other duty stations in the MFI, operate on an around the clock schedule. A schedule of activities is maintained by the Administration Division, and promulgated to the crew in the Plan of the Day (POD), which is accessible from any PADD or ship's console. The POD is updated by the Yeoman of the Watch at the end of each watch. <br />
<br />
<br />
Timekeeping <br />
<br />
Units of the MFI spend most of their time among the stars, and a <br />
fighter squadron is no exception. Timekeeping, therefore, becomes a matter of supreme importance, there being no planetary rotation to use in verifying the time of day. In keeping with the practice of the MFI, the Quartermasters of the Navigation Division maintain chronometers which measure a 24-hour day. Tied to the time kept at the MFI HQ Observatory, Earth, Eastern US Standard Time has been adopted as the standard for measuring time aboard most MFI vessels and stations. The 24-hour clock is also used, to eliminate any possible confusion in establishing the time of an occurrence, past or scheduled. The hours begin at 00:00 (midnight), and count up through 23:59 (the minute before <br />
midnight). <br />
<br />
<br />
Watches, Shifts and Patrols <br />
<br />
With the exception of the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, and Department Heads, all squadron personnel are assigned to a shift section. There are three shift sections, each having an equal portion of personnel from each department or division. <br />
Each of these sections takes a turn at being on watch, as designated in the watchbill, and promulgated in the POD. <br />
An occasional exception to the three-shift schedule is the flight <br />
department. As emergency situations often call for all the fighters of the squadron to be fielded at one time, arrangements are made for this eventuality. <br />
<br />
<br />
History<br />
<br />
The history of Maquis Forces Aviation, and ultimately of all <br />
fightercraft the MFI may yet use in the Force, can be traced to the Khitomer Accords of November 2291. With the Klingon Empire dealing with internal problems, and the Romulan Star Empire soon to withdraw all contact, the Federation and the MFI were left without a perceptible major threat to peace. During the 73 years between the Khitomer Accords and the reemergence of the Romulan Star Empire, the MFI underwent a major drawdown of its combat forces. Instead of defense, Starships were optimized for <br />
exploration. Then, within a year after the initial contact between USS Berlin and seven Romulan warships, USS Enterprise encountered the Borg. Suddenly, the Federation faced a need for combat vessels. Several projects were considered, to fill the need. Before any of them could be implemented, the Borg invaded, and the cataclysmic battle of Wolf 359 ensued. This was to be a harbinger of things to come. In short order, the United Federation of Planets faced wars with the Borg, the Dominion, and the Cardassians (twice). The century of peace was over. <br />
<br />
In 2376, MFI commissioned the first Orca fighter. Designed to serve as defense for stationary installations such as planets and starbases, the Orca Mk. 1 fulfilled its mission admirably, contributing to the defense of Earth during the second Borg invasion. During the Dominion War, Mk. II Orcas of the First Fighter Squadron formed a rear guard. Though many pilots were lost in the battle, their sacrifice enabled several transports full of civilians to escape safely. <br />
<br />
Despite its excellent service record, there were deficiencies in the Orca that MFI Command felt needed to be addressed. Key amongst these was the fighter's low survivability ratio. Only sixty-five percent of the Orcas sent on combat missions were returning. The original Orca designers, along with several members of the Defiant and Sovereign class starship design boards, began work in 2398 to redesign the fighter. The first Mk. III Orcas entered service with the newly formed Ninth Fighter Squadron (9FS) in 2401. <br />
<br />
Before the year was out, the Ninth Fighter Squadron was assigned to USS Gaius Marius, and renamed Carrier Fighter Squadron Nine (VF-9). The assignment was an experiment, intended to test the new fighter's usefulness in new roles -- close air support for Marines, CAP for fleet units, and other missions. The Second Cardassian War saw the baptism by fire of VF-9 and the proof of the carrier-borne fighter concept as a vital part of the MFI. The Assault at B'khai started as a minor confrontation between MFI Marines (MFMC) and a garrison of occupying Cardassian troops. <br />
In short time, both sides called for reinforcements. By the end of the battle, an entire Marine regiment had faced and defeated nearly double their number of Cardassian Army regulars, and a large contingent of Jem'Hadar left in Cardassian control after the Dominion war. Though VF-9 lost nearly a quarter of its fighters, they were cited with keeping the death toll among MFMC Marines from being higher than it was. Through close air support, artillery suppression, dropship escort, and enemy troop transport interdiction missions, VF-9 ensured the future of carrier-borne fighters in the MFI. <br />
<br />
Despite these impressive accomplishments, many fighter pilots still felt that the design of the Orca could be improved upon. ASDB indicated a lack of interest in persuing further design changes, so a private firm, Broken Drive's Suzuki Konbinaato, began looking at the question. Recruiting a panel of expert pilots, including most of the Fighter Squadron Commanding Officers in the Fleet, Suzuki quickly focused on the area <br />
they felt could be improved most effectively: the fighter's propulsion suite. With its maximum speed of Warp 4.5, the Orca was ineffective in fleet point defense roles, as well as in customs and border patrol roles, where larger ships could easily outrun the small fighters. Suzuki quickly developed a new Matter-Antimatter Reactor Assembly and warp engines capable of propelling the small craft to greater velocities, though <br />
range was strictly limited. <br />
<br />
Now being issued to fighter squadrons, the Orca promises to play an important role in fleet and station defense for many years to come. Of course, the Orion "Crouching Tiger" Trade Syndicate was only too happy to make both the Orca and Peregrine designs available to the Maquis... although the Maquis make use of any and all fighter designs. <br />
<br />
<br />
Maquis Fighter Squadrons<br />
<br />
A total of ten fighter squadrons currently serve the MFI Force actively, with an eleventh assigned to Training Command. They are numbered sequentially in order of founding. Marine Aviation units have a VMF designation, SSD/SOC Aviation units are drawn from the "Fleet" forces and have a VF designation. KTF Fighter Squadrons use the VKF designator. VF-11, assigned to MFI Training Command, serves a dual purpose. Only 16 pilots are assigned on a permanant basis. Half of these serve as a cadre of flight instructors, training new pilots to handle the Sphinx fighter. The other half are trained in enemy tactics, and fly against the other squadrons during "Agressor" training sessions.<br />
<br />
<br />
Squadron Type:<br />
<br />
There are seven types of fighter squadrons in the MFI:<br />
<br />
• Starfighter - The purpose of a Starfighter squadron is combat, patrol, and defense.<br />
<br />
• Attack - An Attack Squadron is made up of heavier craft than a starfighter squadron, and is responsible for assault operations against both fixed and mobile targets. <br />
<br />
• Interceptor - Interceptor Squadron utilizes faster starfighters and rapid attack tactics to keep enemy starfighters at a safe distance from vessels and stations. <br />
<br />
• Reconnaissance - A Reconnaissance Squadron typically operates divided into Flights or Sections, and scouts enemy positions and forces to aid operations.<br />
<br />
• Bomber - Bomber Squadrons attack fixed targets with heavy ordnance.<br />
<br />
• Special Operations - A Special Operations Squadron typically performs under the command and control of MFI Intelligence in aid of intelligence gathering and covert operations. All Special Operations pilots are trained at the “Top Gun” school. <br />

Mission <br />
The basic mission concept for the Orca was defined in the Design <br />
Specification Package as "a vessel capable of: <br />
Operating in defense of fixed or mobile installations with minimal resource expenditure <br />
Providing support and defense to ground units, as well as serving as a mobile communications relay, and providing tactical coordination; <br />
Operating as a point-defense fighter during Fleet operations, including traffic interdiction. Coordinating with major Fleet units in any conceivable offensive or defensive scenario." <br />
<br />
The Peregrine is a major upgrade from the Mark III Orca. While <br />
retaining the Orca's atmospheric capability, which allows the fighter to act in roles such as close air support, artillery coordination and suppression, and drop ship escort for Marine units, the new fighter has significantly improved manuverability, increasing its capablity to assume roles such as traffic interdiction for Fleet point defense, as well as customs/border patrol activities. <br />
<br />
As a communications relay station and battle coordinator, the Orca is capable of handling and relaying message traffic on a geometrically scaling level; the more fighters are present, the more message traffic they can handle. The expert systems link to handle the message traffic in a cooperative fashion, rather than each fighter handling every frequency. This relay can be performed without noticeable degradation of the <br />
system's normal functionality. <br />
<br />
Orca fighters can be carried aboard any ship which has standard <br />
shuttlebays; as part of the design specification, no special equipment is required to launch, recover, or maintain the fighters, other than that which can be moved from ship to ship using a standard cargo transporter.<br />

A Brief Note from Maquis Marine Aerospace Aviation Commander:<br />
<br />
Congratulations on your assignment to a fighter squadron of the MFI. This assignment is an indication of Fleet's confidence in your skills and potential. By joining a fighter squadron, you become part of a proud tradition which extends back, not merely to the formation of your squadron, nor to the beginning of the Orca Project, nor yet even to the founding of the Maquis, but to the day when one member of your species first took up arms in the defense of another. Today, fighter pilots put themselves in the way of danger, protecting the citizens of the Maquis just as their predecessors have done for generations. It should by no means be imagined, however, that only the pilots are vital to the success of a squadron's mission. Without a staff full of mechanics, technicians, logistics specialists, intelligence analysts, stellar cartographers, mission planners, yeomen and mess specialists, the fighters could not fly and the pilots could not perform at peak efficiency. <br />
<br />
There are no insignificant jobs in a fighter squadron. Whoever you are, whatever your job, you have demonstrated your excellence. Now, we of the squadron are counting on you to continue that excellence, so that together we can fulfill the awesome responsibility we have -- to go in harm's way. <br />
<br />
Flight Major Don Anderson <br />
CO, VMF-101 Marine Aviation Squadron 101 "The Jolly Rogers"<br />
<br />
<br />
SORM Section 1 - VMF Marine Squadron Organization; an Introduction<br />
<br />
A Marine fighter squadron is a large and complex organization which uses a hierarchal structure to function efficiently. Similar to a starship, a squadron has a Commanding Officer, an Executive Officer (sometimes called a First Officer), and various divisions and departments, each with a Department Head, as well as various officers and enlisted specialists. <br />
However, unlike the average starship a fighter squadron is specialized, dedicated to the task of maintaining, supporting, and fielding fighters at peak efficiency. <br />
The staff of a fighter squadron is divided into four departments: <br />
Flight, Operations, Engineering, and Logistics. Each department has a department head, usually the senior officer in that field. Departments are further divided into divisions, and each division has a division officer (DivO). <br />
<br />
<br />
Flight Department<br />
<br />
Because of the specialized mission of a fighter squadron, both the CO and XO must be pilots. It is not unusual for pilots to also fill billets in the Operations Department, leading to a squadron being smaller than the Table of Organization (TO) would suggest. <br />
<br />
At optimal staffing, a fighter squadron will have 36 pilots. These pilots are subdivided into flights of three to six pilots, and may also be grouped into wings of two or more flights. Flights are led by Flight Leaders, wings by Wing Commanders. <br />
<br />
<br />
Operations Department <br />
<br />
The Operations Department is concerned with the day to day operation of the squadron, and is comprised of the Administration, Intelligence, Navigation, and Communications divisions.<br />
<br />
<br />
Administration Division <br />
<br />
Because of the unique mission of the fighter squadron, and the <br />
resulting deviations from normal MFI duty stations, a squadron orientation officer is assigned. The chaplain has been trained to respond to the religious needs of the crew, and has been trained to recognize & cater to the requirements of a large number of Federation religions. By special arrangements with the majority of the Federation's religious decision-making bodies, this individual has been authorized to effect any of the ceremonies and rituals which may be required during an extended mission, <br />
including marriages, divorces, baptisms, last rites, and other <br />
religion-specific duties. An educational services officer is assigned to assist personnel in furthering their individual knowledge, skills, and educational attainments during long deployments. Administrative specialists (called yeomen) maintain records, ensure accurate reports are made as scheduled, and perform other duties as assigned. Each department has at <br />
least one yeoman. Divisions which require dedicated administrative assistance are also assigned a yeoman who is specifically responsible for that division. The CO's yeoman, along with the senior yeoman, provide direct administrative support to the CO and XO in consolidating and maintaining both internal and external administrative matters. They are also <br />
responsible for ensuring personnel records are up to date, scheduling & tracking personnel and promotion reviews, and departmental personnel assignments. The Command Master Chief is tasked with counseling enlisted crew members in the areas of career, performance, and personal matters, as well as being a direct link between the CO and the enlisted crew. <br />
<br />
<br />
Navigation Division <br />
<br />
The Flight Operations (FlightOps) computer onboard the carrier or <br />
station where the fighter squadron is assigned is the primary source for position updates, chronometer calibration, and course determinations. It uses navigation & time beacons, sensor inputs, and complicated algorithms to ensure that the Navigator is presented with precise, up-to-date data and course plots, so he can pass these on to the fighters of the squadron. It is imperative that the navigational data be monitored and <br />
cross-checked at all times. To this end, Navigational Specialists, called Quartermasters, stand watch in stellar cartography. They are responsible to the CO, XO, and Flight Control Officer of the Watch (FCOW) during their watch. In addition to maintaining an accurate plot of the motions <br />
of the ship or station, the Quartermaster gang is responsible for <br />
updating and maintaining the navigational charts used by the FlightOps computer and the individual fightercraft. Computer technicians are also assigned to the Navigational department to maintain, repair, and oversee the navigational system components and equipment. One technician is on watch at any time Stellar Cartography is manned. <br />
<br />
<br />
Communications Division <br />
<br />
The ability to transmit and receive messages from other ships of the Federation and alien races, Starbases and planets, is an important part of squadron operations. Ensuring this ability to communicate is the task of the Communications Division. Electronics Technicians of the Communications Division perform repair and maintenance on the fightercraft's comm systems, as well as maintaining a communications watch in the squadron's Combat Information Center (CIC). <br />
<br />
<br />
Intelligence Division <br />
<br />
A fighter squadron must always have the most accurate, up-to-date <br />
situational information available. Whether dealing with an established threat like the Romulans, Borg, or Cardassians, or entering a first contact situation with a new, potentially threatening species, the analysts of the Intelligence Division are constantly at work in CIC, sifting through data, analyzing intercepted communications, trying to assemble the best, most complete picture possible of the situation facing the squadron. <br />
<br />
<br />
Engineering Department<br />
<br />
The Engineering Department, led by the Chief Engineer, is responsible for the proper maintenance and repair of impulse and warp drive propulsion, life support systems, fighter weapons systems, deflector systems, ECM and ECCM units, and all other physical components & systems of the Peregrine fighter. Engine Systems Division Engineers assigned to this division have responsibility for maintenance, repair, and calibration of <br />
fighter warp drives, impulse engines, and reaction control system <br />
thrusters. Matter/Antimatter Specialists ensure the efficient tuning of the sealed M/ARA units aboard the Peregrine fighters. Dilithium Crystal technicians monitor the status, consumption rates, and recrystalization of this vital component of the engine. Structural Engineering Specialists monitor and maintain the Inertial Dampening System (IDS) and hull integrity. Life Support Technicians maintain the fighter's artificial gravity generators, atmospheric quality regulators, humidity and temperature regulators. <br />
<br />
<br />
Weapons Systems Division <br />
<br />
Kilogram for kilogram, no unit of the MFI is more powerful than the Peregrine fighter in terms of offensive capacity. The Engineers of this division maintain and repair the pulse phaser cannons and minitorps carried by the fighters. Phaser Technicians carefully maintain and calibrate the pulse phaser cannon carried by the Peregrine, while Torpedoman's Mates care for the launch and stowage systems for the quantum minitorps. <br />
<br />
<br />
Flight Deck Division <br />
<br />
Though the operation and maintenance of the squadron's fighters are the responsibility of the Flight and Engineering departments, respectively, the safe and efficient operation of the hanger decks, launch and recovery bays, and all objects therein fall to the personnel of the Flight Deck Division. <br />
Movement of any craft within the Hanger Bay or on the Flight Deck is controlled by the Flight Deck Officer and by numerous Flight Deck Control Specialists. The CAT officer controls the launch of craft from the Flight Deck, while the Landing Signal Officer controls recovery operations. Plane Captains are enlisted specialists who are assigned individual responsibility for a given fightercraft's maintenance. They take cognizance over the fighter from the moment the pilot climbs out of the cockpit until the moment he/she climbs back in. It is their responsiblity to <br />
have the craft fueled, armed, and provided with accurate navigational data & appropriate charts before flight. <br />
<br />
<br />
Logistics Department<br />
<br />
Though modern fabrication and replication systems onboard ships and stations of the MFI have made routine of most requisition and supply issues, there are still some items which are used in sufficient quantity, or are of sufficient size or complexity that it is more efficient to store finished products than to spend the energy to carry raw materials and synthesize the product on demand. Additionally, significant stores of critical spares and consumables are maintained for use during red alert situations when power for replication or fabrication systems may be unavailable. Logistics department Storekeepers store, maintain, inventory, and deliver such supplies as necessary. <br />
<br />
<br />
Standard Operations <br />
<br />
Alert Conditions <br />
<br />
- Green<br />
<br />
This is the normal status of the squadron. No dangerous conditions exist within the patrol boundaries of the squadron. Watches and Patrols are stood as assigned by the watchbill and PoD. <br />
<br />
- Yellow<br />
<br />
A hazardous or potentially hazardous condition exists either within the squadron's patrol area, or within its immediate vicinity. This condition may be set by the CO, XO, or CIC Officer of the Watch. The on-watch shift remains on duty, and prepares for possible danger. Second shift goes on duty, and joins first shift at duty stations. Third shift is awakened, but does not come on duty. Each station reports to CIC when manned and ready. <br />
<br />
- Red <br />
<br />
Also known as Battle Stations or General Quarters, Red Alert is set when a life threatening condition exists within the squadron's patrol area or its immediate vicinity, or elements of the squadron are in an offensive or defensive situation which has, or may soon result in the use of weapons. May be set by the CO or XO. Third shift goes on duty, and reports to duty stations. All pilots report to their craft, and standby for possible scramble. <br />
<br />
<br />
Daily Routines<br />
<br />
Fighter squadrons, like most other duty stations in the MFI, operate on an around the clock schedule. A schedule of activities is maintained by the Administration Division, and promulgated to the crew in the Plan of the Day (POD), which is accessible from any PADD or ship's console. The POD is updated by the Yeoman of the Watch at the end of each watch. <br />
<br />
<br />
Timekeeping <br />
<br />
Units of the MFI spend most of their time among the stars, and a <br />
fighter squadron is no exception. Timekeeping, therefore, becomes a matter of supreme importance, there being no planetary rotation to use in verifying the time of day. In keeping with the practice of the MFI, the Quartermasters of the Navigation Division maintain chronometers which measure a 24-hour day.

The 24-hour clock is also used, to eliminate any possible confusion in establishing the time of an occurrence, past or scheduled. The hours begin at 00:00 (midnight), and count up through 23:59 (the minute before <br />
midnight). <br />
<br />
<br />
Watches, Shifts and Patrols <br />
<br />
With the exception of the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, and Department Heads, all squadron personnel are assigned to a shift section. There are three shift sections, each having an equal portion of personnel from each department or division. <br />
Each of these sections takes a turn at being on watch, as designated in the watchbill, and promulgated in the POD. <br />
An occasional exception to the three-shift schedule is the flight <br />
department. As emergency situations often call for all the fighters of the squadron to be fielded at one time, arrangements are made for this eventuality. <br />
<br />

retaining the Orca's atmospheric capability, which allows the fighter to act in roles such as close air support, artillery coordination and suppression, and drop ship escort for Marine units, the new fighter has significantly improved manuverability, increasing its capablity to assume roles such as traffic interdiction for Fleet point defense, as well as customs/border patrol activities. <br />
<br />
As a communications relay station and battle coordinator, the Orca is capable of handling and relaying message traffic on a geometrically scaling level; the more fighters are present, the more message traffic they can handle. The expert systems link to handle the message traffic in a cooperative fashion, rather than each fighter handling every frequency. This relay can be performed without noticeable degradation of the <br />
system's normal functionality. <br />
<br />
Orca fighters can be carried aboard any ship which has standard <br />
shuttlebays; as part of the design specification, no special equipment is required to launch, recover, or maintain the fighters, other than that which can be moved from ship to ship using a standard cargo transporter.</div>Mtollesonhttp://wiki.maquis.com/w/Marines/aerospaceMarines/aerospace2012-01-01T19:29:13Z<p>Mtolleson: </p>

A Brief Note from Maquis Marine Aerospace Aviation Commander:<br />
<br />
Congratulations on your assignment to a fighter squadron of the MFI. This assignment is an indication of Fleet's confidence in your skills and potential. By joining a fighter squadron, you become part of a proud tradition which extends back, not merely to the formation of your squadron, nor to the beginning of the Orca Project, nor yet even to the founding of the Maquis, but to the day when one member of your species first took up arms in the defense of another. Today, fighter pilots put themselves in the way of danger, protecting the citizens of the Maquis just as their predecessors have done for generations. It should by no means be imagined, however, that only the pilots are vital to the success of a squadron's mission. Without a staff full of mechanics, technicians, logistics specialists, intelligence analysts, stellar cartographers, mission planners, yeomen and mess specialists, the fighters could not fly and the pilots could not perform at peak efficiency. <br />
<br />
There are no insignificant jobs in a fighter squadron. Whoever you are, whatever your job, you have demonstrated your excellence. Now, we of the squadron are counting on you to continue that excellence, so that together we can fulfill the awesome responsibility we have -- to go in harm's way. <br />
<br />
Flight Major Don Anderson <br />
CO, VMF-101 Marine Aviation Squadron 101 "The Jolly Rogers"<br />
<br />
<br />
SORM Section 1 - VMF Marine Squadron Organization; an Introduction<br />
<br />
A Marine fighter squadron is a large and complex organization which uses a hierarchal structure to function efficiently. Similar to a starship, a squadron has a Commanding Officer, an Executive Officer (sometimes called a First Officer), and various divisions and departments, each with a Department Head, as well as various officers and enlisted specialists. <br />
However, unlike the average starship a fighter squadron is specialized, dedicated to the task of maintaining, supporting, and fielding fighters at peak efficiency. <br />
The staff of a fighter squadron is divided into four departments: <br />
Flight, Operations, Engineering, and Logistics. Each department has a department head, usually the senior officer in that field. Departments are further divided into divisions, and each division has a division officer (DivO). <br />
<br />
<br />
Flight Department<br />
<br />
Because of the specialized mission of a fighter squadron, both the CO and XO must be pilots. It is not unusual for pilots to also fill billets in the Operations Department, leading to a squadron being smaller than the Table of Organization (TO) would suggest. <br />
<br />
At optimal staffing, a fighter squadron will have 36 pilots. These pilots are subdivided into flights of three to six pilots, and may also be grouped into wings of two or more flights. Flights are led by Flight Leaders, wings by Wing Commanders. <br />
<br />
<br />
Operations Department <br />
<br />
The Operations Department is concerned with the day to day operation of the squadron, and is comprised of the Administration, Intelligence, Navigation, and Communications divisions.<br />
<br />
<br />
Administration Division <br />
<br />
Because of the unique mission of the fighter squadron, and the <br />
resulting deviations from normal MFI duty stations, a squadron orientation officer is assigned. The chaplain has been trained to respond to the religious needs of the crew, and has been trained to recognize & cater to the requirements of a large number of Federation religions. By special arrangements with the majority of the Federation's religious decision-making bodies, this individual has been authorized to effect any of the ceremonies and rituals which may be required during an extended mission, <br />
including marriages, divorces, baptisms, last rites, and other <br />
religion-specific duties. An educational services officer is assigned to assist personnel in furthering their individual knowledge, skills, and educational attainments during long deployments. Administrative specialists (called yeomen) maintain records, ensure accurate reports are made as scheduled, and perform other duties as assigned. Each department has at <br />
least one yeoman. Divisions which require dedicated administrative assistance are also assigned a yeoman who is specifically responsible for that division. The CO's yeoman, along with the senior yeoman, provide direct administrative support to the CO and XO in consolidating and maintaining both internal and external administrative matters. They are also <br />
responsible for ensuring personnel records are up to date, scheduling & tracking personnel and promotion reviews, and departmental personnel assignments. The Command Master Chief is tasked with counseling enlisted crew members in the areas of career, performance, and personal matters, as well as being a direct link between the CO and the enlisted crew. <br />
<br />
<br />
Navigation Division <br />
<br />
The Flight Operations (FlightOps) computer onboard the carrier or <br />
station where the fighter squadron is assigned is the primary source for position updates, chronometer calibration, and course determinations. It uses navigation & time beacons, sensor inputs, and complicated algorithms to ensure that the Navigator is presented with precise, up-to-date data and course plots, so he can pass these on to the fighters of the squadron. It is imperative that the navigational data be monitored and <br />
cross-checked at all times. To this end, Navigational Specialists, called Quartermasters, stand watch in stellar cartography. They are responsible to the CO, XO, and Flight Control Officer of the Watch (FCOW) during their watch. In addition to maintaining an accurate plot of the motions <br />
of the ship or station, the Quartermaster gang is responsible for <br />
updating and maintaining the navigational charts used by the FlightOps computer and the individual fightercraft. Computer technicians are also assigned to the Navigational department to maintain, repair, and oversee the navigational system components and equipment. One technician is on watch at any time Stellar Cartography is manned. <br />
<br />
<br />
Communications Division <br />
<br />
The ability to transmit and receive messages from other ships of the Federation and alien races, Starbases and planets, is an important part of squadron operations. Ensuring this ability to communicate is the task of the Communications Division. Electronics Technicians of the Communications Division perform repair and maintenance on the fightercraft's comm systems, as well as maintaining a communications watch in the squadron's Combat Information Center (CIC). <br />
<br />
<br />
Intelligence Division <br />
<br />
A fighter squadron must always have the most accurate, up-to-date <br />
situational information available. Whether dealing with an established threat like the Romulans, Borg, or Cardassians, or entering a first contact situation with a new, potentially threatening species, the analysts of the Intelligence Division are constantly at work in CIC, sifting through data, analyzing intercepted communications, trying to assemble the best, most complete picture possible of the situation facing the squadron. <br />
<br />
<br />
Engineering Department<br />
<br />
The Engineering Department, led by the Chief Engineer, is responsible for the proper maintenance and repair of impulse and warp drive propulsion, life support systems, fighter weapons systems, deflector systems, ECM and ECCM units, and all other physical components & systems of the Peregrine fighter. Engine Systems Division Engineers assigned to this division have responsibility for maintenance, repair, and calibration of <br />
fighter warp drives, impulse engines, and reaction control system <br />
thrusters. Matter/Antimatter Specialists ensure the efficient tuning of the sealed M/ARA units aboard the Peregrine fighters. Dilithium Crystal technicians monitor the status, consumption rates, and recrystalization of this vital component of the engine. Structural Engineering Specialists monitor and maintain the Inertial Dampening System (IDS) and hull integrity. Life Support Technicians maintain the fighter's artificial gravity generators, atmospheric quality regulators, humidity and temperature regulators. <br />
<br />
<br />
Weapons Systems Division <br />
<br />
Kilogram for kilogram, no unit of the MFI is more powerful than the Peregrine fighter in terms of offensive capacity. The Engineers of this division maintain and repair the pulse phaser cannons and minitorps carried by the fighters. Phaser Technicians carefully maintain and calibrate the pulse phaser cannon carried by the Peregrine, while Torpedoman's Mates care for the launch and stowage systems for the quantum minitorps. <br />
<br />
<br />
Flight Deck Division <br />
<br />
Though the operation and maintenance of the squadron's fighters are the responsibility of the Flight and Engineering departments, respectively, the safe and efficient operation of the hanger decks, launch and recovery bays, and all objects therein fall to the personnel of the Flight Deck Division. <br />
Movement of any craft within the Hanger Bay or on the Flight Deck is controlled by the Flight Deck Officer and by numerous Flight Deck Control Specialists. The CAT officer controls the launch of craft from the Flight Deck, while the Landing Signal Officer controls recovery operations. Plane Captains are enlisted specialists who are assigned individual responsibility for a given fightercraft's maintenance. They take cognizance over the fighter from the moment the pilot climbs out of the cockpit until the moment he/she climbs back in. It is their responsiblity to <br />
have the craft fueled, armed, and provided with accurate navigational data & appropriate charts before flight. <br />
<br />
<br />
Logistics Department<br />
<br />
Though modern fabrication and replication systems onboard ships and stations of the MFI have made routine of most requisition and supply issues, there are still some items which are used in sufficient quantity, or are of sufficient size or complexity that it is more efficient to store finished products than to spend the energy to carry raw materials and synthesize the product on demand. Additionally, significant stores of critical spares and consumables are maintained for use during red alert situations when power for replication or fabrication systems may be unavailable. Logistics department Storekeepers store, maintain, inventory, and deliver such supplies as necessary. <br />
<br />
<br />
Standard Operations <br />
<br />
Alert Conditions <br />
<br />
- Green<br />
<br />
This is the normal status of the squadron. No dangerous conditions exist within the patrol boundaries of the squadron. Watches and Patrols are stood as assigned by the watchbill and PoD. <br />
<br />
- Yellow<br />
<br />
A hazardous or potentially hazardous condition exists either within the squadron's patrol area, or within its immediate vicinity. This condition may be set by the CO, XO, or CIC Officer of the Watch. The on-watch shift remains on duty, and prepares for possible danger. Second shift goes on duty, and joins first shift at duty stations. Third shift is awakened, but does not come on duty. Each station reports to CIC when manned and ready. <br />
<br />
- Red <br />
<br />
Also known as Battle Stations or General Quarters, Red Alert is set when a life threatening condition exists within the squadron's patrol area or its immediate vicinity, or elements of the squadron are in an offensive or defensive situation which has, or may soon result in the use of weapons. May be set by the CO or XO. Third shift goes on duty, and reports to duty stations. All pilots report to their craft, and standby for possible scramble. <br />
<br />
<br />
Daily Routines<br />
<br />
Fighter squadrons, like most other duty stations in the MFI, operate on an around the clock schedule. A schedule of activities is maintained by the Administration Division, and promulgated to the crew in the Plan of the Day (POD), which is accessible from any PADD or ship's console. The POD is updated by the Yeoman of the Watch at the end of each watch. <br />
<br />
<br />
Timekeeping <br />
<br />
Units of the MFI spend most of their time among the stars, and a <br />
fighter squadron is no exception. Timekeeping, therefore, becomes a matter of supreme importance, there being no planetary rotation to use in verifying the time of day. In keeping with the practice of the MFI, the Quartermasters of the Navigation Division maintain chronometers which measure a 24-hour day. Tied to the time kept at the MFI HQ Observatory, Earth, Eastern US Standard Time has been adopted as the standard for measuring time aboard most MFI vessels and stations. The 24-hour clock is also used, to eliminate any possible confusion in establishing the time of an occurrence, past or scheduled. The hours begin at 00:00 (midnight), and count up through 23:59 (the minute before <br />
midnight). <br />
<br />
<br />
Watches, Shifts and Patrols <br />
<br />
With the exception of the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer, and Department Heads, all squadron personnel are assigned to a shift section. There are three shift sections, each having an equal portion of personnel from each department or division. <br />
Each of these sections takes a turn at being on watch, as designated in the watchbill, and promulgated in the POD. <br />
An occasional exception to the three-shift schedule is the flight <br />
department. As emergency situations often call for all the fighters of the squadron to be fielded at one time, arrangements are made for this eventuality. <br />
<br />
<br />
History<br />
<br />
The history of Maquis Forces Aviation, and ultimately of all <br />
fightercraft the MFI may yet use in the Force, can be traced to the Khitomer Accords of November 2291. With the Klingon Empire dealing with internal problems, and the Romulan Star Empire soon to withdraw all contact, the Federation and the MFI were left without a perceptible major threat to peace. During the 73 years between the Khitomer Accords and the reemergence of the Romulan Star Empire, the MFI underwent a major drawdown of its combat forces. Instead of defense, Starships were optimized for <br />
exploration. Then, within a year after the initial contact between USS Berlin and seven Romulan warships, USS Enterprise encountered the Borg. Suddenly, the Federation faced a need for combat vessels. Several projects were considered, to fill the need. Before any of them could be implemented, the Borg invaded, and the cataclysmic battle of Wolf 359 ensued. This was to be a harbinger of things to come. In short order, the United Federation of Planets faced wars with the Borg, the Dominion, and the Cardassians (twice). The century of peace was over. <br />
<br />
In 2376, MFI commissioned the first Orca fighter. Designed to serve as defense for stationary installations such as planets and starbases, the Orca Mk. 1 fulfilled its mission admirably, contributing to the defense of Earth during the second Borg invasion. During the Dominion War, Mk. II Orcas of the First Fighter Squadron formed a rear guard. Though many pilots were lost in the battle, their sacrifice enabled several transports full of civilians to escape safely. <br />
<br />
Despite its excellent service record, there were deficiencies in the Orca that MFI Command felt needed to be addressed. Key amongst these was the fighter's low survivability ratio. Only sixty-five percent of the Orcas sent on combat missions were returning. The original Orca designers, along with several members of the Defiant and Sovereign class starship design boards, began work in 2398 to redesign the fighter. The first Mk. III Orcas entered service with the newly formed Ninth Fighter Squadron (9FS) in 2401. <br />
<br />
Before the year was out, the Ninth Fighter Squadron was assigned to USS Gaius Marius, and renamed Carrier Fighter Squadron Nine (VF-9). The assignment was an experiment, intended to test the new fighter's usefulness in new roles -- close air support for Marines, CAP for fleet units, and other missions. The Second Cardassian War saw the baptism by fire of VF-9 and the proof of the carrier-borne fighter concept as a vital part of the MFI. The Assault at B'khai started as a minor confrontation between MFI Marines (MFMC) and a garrison of occupying Cardassian troops. <br />
In short time, both sides called for reinforcements. By the end of the battle, an entire Marine regiment had faced and defeated nearly double their number of Cardassian Army regulars, and a large contingent of Jem'Hadar left in Cardassian control after the Dominion war. Though VF-9 lost nearly a quarter of its fighters, they were cited with keeping the death toll among MFMC Marines from being higher than it was. Through close air support, artillery suppression, dropship escort, and enemy troop transport interdiction missions, VF-9 ensured the future of carrier-borne fighters in the MFI. <br />
<br />
Despite these impressive accomplishments, many fighter pilots still felt that the design of the Orca could be improved upon. ASDB indicated a lack of interest in persuing further design changes, so a private firm, Broken Drive's Suzuki Konbinaato, began looking at the question. Recruiting a panel of expert pilots, including most of the Fighter Squadron Commanding Officers in the Fleet, Suzuki quickly focused on the area <br />
they felt could be improved most effectively: the fighter's propulsion suite. With its maximum speed of Warp 4.5, the Orca was ineffective in fleet point defense roles, as well as in customs and border patrol roles, where larger ships could easily outrun the small fighters. Suzuki quickly developed a new Matter-Antimatter Reactor Assembly and warp engines capable of propelling the small craft to greater velocities, though <br />
range was strictly limited. <br />
<br />
Now being issued to fighter squadrons, the Orca promises to play an important role in fleet and station defense for many years to come. Of course, the Orion "Crouching Tiger" Trade Syndicate was only too happy to make both the Orca and Peregrine designs available to the Maquis... although the Maquis make use of any and all fighter designs. <br />
<br />
<br />
Maquis Fighter Squadrons<br />
<br />
A total of ten fighter squadrons currently serve the MFI Force <br />
actively, with an eleventh assigned to Training Command. They are numbered sequentially in order of founding. Marine Aviation units have a VMF designation, SSD/SOC Aviation units are drawn from the "Fleet" forces and have a VF designation. KTF Fighter Squadrons use the VKF designator. VF-11, assigned to MFI Training Command, serves a dual purpose. Only 16 pilots are assigned on a permanant basis. Half of these serve as a cadre of flight instructors, training new pilots to handle the Sphinx fighter. The other half are trained in enemy tactics, and fly against the <br />
other squadrons during "Agressor" training sessions.<br />
<br />
<br />

Mission <br />
The basic mission concept for the Orca was defined in the Design <br />
Specification Package as "a vessel capable of: <br />
Operating in defense of fixed or mobile installations with minimal resource expenditure <br />
Providing support and defense to ground units, as well as serving as a mobile communications relay, and providing tactical coordination; <br />
Operating as a point-defense fighter during Fleet operations, including traffic interdiction. Coordinating with major Fleet units in any conceivable offensive or defensive scenario." <br />
<br />
The Peregrine is a major upgrade from the Mark III Orca. While <br />
retaining the Orca's atmospheric capability, which allows the fighter to act in roles such as close air support, artillery coordination and suppression, and drop ship escort for Marine units, the new fighter has significantly improved manuverability, increasing its capablity to assume roles such as traffic interdiction for Fleet point defense, as well as customs/border patrol activities. <br />

The expert systems link to handle the message traffic in a cooperative fashion, rather than each fighter handling every frequency. This relay can be performed without noticeable degradation of the <br />
system's normal functionality. <br />

<br />
The Veritech Fighter had the unique ability to transform from a jet fighter into a humanoid form, known as a battle mecha. This actually arose from the human misunderstanding of Dylithium. The basic properties of this new power source seemed to encourage such modularity, although no other species, ever used this in their combat mecha.<br />
However, it produced a mecha of unparalleled maneuverability and functionality. It could race over a ground target at Mach 3, strafing with missiles and machine guns, then convert to a ground unit and mop up, secure the area, etc.<br />
It also has a third mode, Guardian, a tank mode, which was not part of the initial design. This is sort of a transitional phase between Fighter and Battle mech. It was initially only planned to be used for VTOL landings and rapid deceleration. However, test pilots quickly learned to use this useful mode in combat, allowing instant changes of direction, height and speed. And with the GU-11 gun point in the jet's hand, they could even fly in one direction, and shoot in another!<br />
There are 4 models of the Valkyrie, the VF-1A, VF-1J, VF-1S and VF-1D. The A, J, and S are all single seat fighters, and identical in all aspects except number of head lasers. The VF-1D however, is a two-seat trainer, but still fully combat capable.<br />
Also, due to their dilithium-powered engines, Veritechs can operate at full capacity in space. One other point to note is that in Battle mech mode, the mecha has agility beyond anything the average human is capable of. Any moves that the pilot can do, the mecha can easily copy, including martial arts attacks.<br />

Provide autonomous capability for full execution of Maquis defensive, cultural, scientific, and explorative policy in deep space or border territory. Replace the Springfield class in certain frontline, light exploration duties. Provide a platform for extended scientific survey and scouting missions. Serve as a frontline support vehicle during emergencies and a platform for the extension of Maquis diplomacy and policy. Provide non-critical functions such as transport of personnel and cargo when necessary, extended aid, and short-range patrol. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
GENERAL INFORMATION:<br />
<br />
When the McNelly was first released it was from stem to stern, the most advanced starships in Maquis Command. The class employed a new warp core, variable geometry warp nacelles, and was the first to field both bio-neural gelpaks and the Emergency Medical Hologram system. <br />
Nearly three-hundred-fifty meters long, the McNelly is built sleek and long, sporting one of the fastest top speeds on record for a Maquis vessel with the exception of the new Sovereign class and the ground-breaking Prometheus class. The tilting, wing-like nacelles can shift microns in their positions, emitting minutely adjustable warp fields that are more efficient and safer when traveling in subspace. This, combined with new verterion manufacturing and the APD-01 Warp Core, makes its propulsion systems super-advanced. <br />
The class serves multiple functions based on its load out, as well as size. An Intrepid could be seen on patrol or escort duty as easily as long-range exploration or survey. State of the art computers give it unprecedented storage capacity, access speed, and rigor conditioning. This, combined with a wide array of sensors covering a large amount of the exposed surface, makes the Intrepid class a premier ship of the line for Starfleet’s scientific endeavors. <br />
Fast, agile, and well armed, these science ships are among the more capable multi-role platforms when faced with combat situations. Advanced shielding and Type-X Phaser arrays equip it admirably, with several representatives of the class serving during the Dominion War with amazing success. <br />
Perhaps the most visible example of the superior nature of the McNelly is one of its first members. Third of it’s class, the USS Voyager made it across the Delta Quadrant aided by it’s own technology to a huge degree. The data returned by its crew has placed it permanently in the pantheon of most effective ship classes in Starfleet history. <br />
<br />
PHASER ARRAY<br />
<br />
The dorsal saucer section of the McNelly is covered by four Phaser strips; two of which extend from the aft curvature, along the length of the saucer and stop short of the auxiliary deflector incision. The aft firing arc is covered by two smaller arrays angled on the rear of the saucer section. The relative bottom of the ship is protected by two similar arrays as on the dorsal saucer section, extending to the rear of the saucer and following the curve to the aux deflector incision. Along with those arrays, are two small aft-angled Phaser strips similar to the dorsal aft-fire strips. Additional protection is provided by a single array that extends laterally across the ventral engineering hull just fore of the warp core ejection port. Far-aft strips are provided on the underside of the mobile nacelle pylons and under the shuttlebay landing deck on the underside of the ship for a total ship’s complement of thirteen arrays. <br />
The McNelly utilizes the Type X array system. Each array fires a steady beam of Phaser energy, and the forced-focus emitters discharge the Phasers at speeds approaching .986c (which works out to about 182,520 miles per second - nearly warp one). The Phaser array automatically rotates Phaser frequency and attempts to lock onto the frequency and phase of a threat vehicle's shields for maximum shield penetration. <br />
Each Phaser array takes its energy directly from the impulse drive and auxiliary fusion generators. Individually, each type X -emitter can only discharges approximately 5.1 MW (megawatts). However, several emitters (usually two) fire at once in the array during standard firing procedures, resulting in a discharge approximately 10.2 MW. <br />
The maximum effective range on the Type X emitter is 300,000 kilometers. <br />
<br />
TORPEDO LAUNCHERS<br />
<br />
The McNelly is fitted with four standard torpedo launchers, two fore and two aft. Torpedo tubes one and two (fore) are located over the main deflector dish in the Stardrive section. Aft coverage is handled by a third and fourth torpedo launcher facing the rear of the ship in the upper engineering hull near where it meets the saucer. <br />
The McNelly is armed with the Type-6, Mark-XXV photon torpedo, capable of pattern firing (sierra, etc.) as well as independent launch. Independent targeting once launched from the ship, detonation on contact unless otherwise directed by the tactical officer. <br />
The McNelly can carry a maximum of 55 torpedo casings. Of that complement, 10 are typically configured as probes with a manufacturing capacity to produce more torpedoes with available warheads. <br />
Range: Maximum effective range is 3,500,000 kilometers. <br />
<br />
DEFLECTOR SHIELDS<br />
<br />
The McNelly is equipped with a symmetrical oscillating subspace graviton field. This type of shield is similar to those of most other starships. Other than incorporating the now mandatory nutational shift in frequency, the shields alter their graviton polarity to better deal with more powerful weapons and sophisticated weaponry (including Dominion, Breen, and Borg systems). During combat, the shield sends data on what type of weapon is being used on it, and what frequency and phase the weapon uses. Once the tactical officer analyzes this, the shield can be configured to have the same frequency as the incoming weapon - but different nutation. This tactic dramatically increases shield efficiency. <br />
There are 14 shield grids on the McNelly and each one generates 157.35 MW, resulting in total shield strength of 2,202.09 MW, however typical shield configuration is 8 emitters with an output of 1,258.8 MW. The power for the shields is taken directly from the warp engines and impulse fusion generators. If desired, the shields can be augmented by power from the impulse power plants. The shields can protect against approximately 42% of the total EM spectrum (whereas a Galaxy class Starship's shields can only protect against about 23%), made possible by the multi-phase graviton polarity flux technology incorporated into the shields. <br />
The shields, when raised, maintain an average range of 30 meters away from the hull. <br />
<br />
COMPUTER CORE<br />
<br />
Number of computer cores: Two. The primary computer core is accessed in the control room on Deck 5 in amidships for maximum protection. It covers five decks and extends from Deck 2 to Deck 5. The Auxiliary core is located on Deck 10 and extends down to Deck 12, covering three decks. It is fed by two sets of redundant EPS conduits as well as primary power. The AC-15 series computer core is built under contract for the McNelly by Krayne Systems, an independent contractor based on Bynar. The structure of the computer is similar to that of most other supercomputing systems in use by Maquis vessels with stack segments extending through the ship forming trillions of trillions of connections through the processing and storage abilities of modern Isolinear chips. For missions, requirements on the computer core rarely exceed 45-50% of total core processing and storage capacity. The rest of the core is utilized for various scientific, tactical, or intelligence gathering missions - or to backup data in the event of a damaged core. <br />
Bio-Neural Gel Packs: Referred to typically as BNGs, Bio-Neural Gel Packs are a new innovation in shipboard data processing and routing. Mounted at strategic locations along the ODN pathways, each BNG consists of an artificial bio-fluid that allows transmission of neural signals. The heart of the BNG is a packet of neural clusters, grown copies of strands similar to those found in the brains of sentient beings. These clusters give the ship’s computer ‘instinctive’ data processing and routing ability as well as allowing the ship’s computer to utilize ‘fuzzy logic’ to speed up probability calculations much as a living, breathing entity would. <br />
Though a breakthrough in shipboard technology, the BNG has shown one liability in that the biological components can contract contagions and make the vessel ‘sick’.<br />
<br />
WARP PROPULSION SYSTEM<br />
<br />
The McNelly is equipped with the First-Run Advanced Propulsion Drive (APD-01). This lighter, high-power core utilizes swirl technology instead of a reaction chamber. Additional improvements to Plasma Transfer Conduit technology makes the drive system energy efficient and allows for the variable warp geometry evinced by its maneuverable nacelles. Improved verterion coil manufacture allows for smaller nacelles producing superior warp fields. Information on this Warp Drive can be found in any Maquis Library or Omnipedia. <br />
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 7.5 <br />
Maximum Speed: Warp 9.975 for 12 hours <br />
Note: Vessels equipped with the APD-01 (M/ARA) Drive System no longer have the maximum cruising speed limit of Warp 5 imposed after the discovery of subspace damaged caused by high-warp speeds.<br />
<br />
IMPULSE PROPULSION SYSTEM<br />
<br />
The McNelly is outfitted with twin fusion-powered Krayne-19 impulse drives mounted on the aft section of the nacelle pylons. Built by Krayne Industries, the K-19 drives were specially designed for the Intrepid class with tolerances built-in for the mobile nature of their mounts, as well as variable ethereal vanes for direction of hydrogen flow. <br />
The impulse engine can propel an Intrepid class starship at speeds just under .25c, at Full Impulse and an upper ceiling of .80c at three quarters the speed of light. Generally, Starfleet Vessels are restricted to .25c speeds to avoid the more dramatic time dilation effects of higher relativistic speeds. However, such restrictions can be overridden at the behest of the ship’s captain.<br />
<br />
NAVIGATION DEFLECTOR<br />
<br />
A standard Intrepid class main deflector dish is located in the engineering hull, and is located just forward of the primary engineering spaces. Composed of molybdenum/duranium mesh panels over a tritanium framework (beneath the Duranium-Tritanium hull), the dish can be manually moved ten degrees in any direction off the ship's Z-axis. The main deflector dish's shield and sensor power comes from two graviton polarity generators located on Deck 10, each capable of generating 128 MW, which can be fed into two 480 millicochrane subspace field distortion generators. <br />
Configuration of the dish differs from standard, with a setup geared toward high-speed and balanced against efficiency. The dual G-P generators are mounted with their own emitters that flank the main emitter assembly in the center of the dish.<br />
<br />
AUXILIARY DEFLECTOR<br />
<br />
The McNelly is outfitted with a secondary or auxiliary deflector. Mounted in the forward section of the saucer, the auxiliary deflector serves as a backup in navigation, as well as for additional energy projection. Composed of molybdenum/duranium mesh panels over a tritanium framework (beneath the Duranium-Tritanium hull), the deflector can be manually moved five degrees in any direction off the ship's Z-axis. The main deflector dish's shield and sensor power comes from two graviton polarity generators located on Deck Six, each capable of generating 128 MW, which can be fed into two 480 millicochrane subspace field distortion generators.<br />
<br />
TRACTOR BEAM<br />
<br />
Equipped with a Multiphase subspace graviton beam, used for direct manipulation of objects from a submicron to a macroscopic level at any relative bearing to the McNelly. Each emitter is directly mounted to the primary members of the ship's framework, to lessen the effects of isopiestic subspace shearing, inertial potential imbalance, and mechanical stress. <br />
Each tractor beam emitter is built around three multiphase 15 MW graviton polarity sources, each feeding two 475-millicochrane subspace field amplifiers. Phase accuracy is within 1.3 arc-seconds per microsecond, which gives superior interference pattern control. Each emitter can gain extra power from the SIF by means of molybdenum-jacketed wave-guides. The subspace fields generated around the beam (when the beam is used) can envelop objects up to 920 meters, lowering the local gravitational constant of the universe for the region inside the field and making the object much easier to manipulate. <br />
Effective tractor beam range varies with payload mass and desired delta-v (change in relative velocity). Assuming a nominal 15 m/sec-squared delta-v, the multiphase tractor emitters can be used with a payload approaching 2,330,000 metric tons at less than 2,000 meters. Conversely, the same delta-v can be imparted to an object massing about one metric ton at ranges approaching 30,000 kilometers. <br />
<br />
TRANSPORTER SYSTEMS<br />
<br />
The McNelly is equipped with a total of three personnel transporters capable of a maximum payload mass of 900kg (1,763 lbs) at a maximum range: 40,000 km. The maximum beam Up/Out Rate is approximately one hundred persons per hour per Transporter <br />
The McNelly also has a total of two cargo transporters capable of a maximum payload Mass of 800 metric tons. <br />
Finally a total of two emergency transporters which are capable of a maximum range of only 15,000 km (send only) [range depends on available power] with a maximum beam out rate of one hundred persons per hour. <br />
<br />
COMMUNICATIONS<br />
<br />
Standard Communications Range: 30,000 - 90,000 kilometers with a Standard Data Transmission Speed: 18.5 kiloquads per second. The Subspace Communications Speed: Warp 9.9997 <br />
<br />
SENSOR SYSTEMS<br />
<br />
Long range and navigation sensors are located behind the main deflector dish, to avoid sensor "ghosts" and other detrimental effects consistent with main deflector dish millicochrane static field output. Additional sensors are placed behind the auxiliary deflector, allowing the McNelly one of the most refined forward scanning capabilities of any ship in the fleet. Lateral sensor pallets are located around the rim of the entire Starship, providing full coverage in all standard scientific fields, but with emphasis in the following areas: Astronomical phenomena, Planetary Analysis, Remote Life-Form Analysis, EM Scanning, Passive Neutrino Scanning, Parametric subspace field stress (a scan to search for cloaked ships), Thermal variances, Quasi-stellar material, Sub-Quantum Mass Particulates. Each sensor pallet (15 in all) can be interchanged and re-calibrated with any other pallet on the ship. <br />
The McNelly is also equipped with a Warp Current sensor: This is an independent subspace graviton field-current scanner, allows the Intrepid class to track ships at high warp by locking onto the eddy currents from the threat ship's warp field, then follow the currents by using multi-model image mapping. <br />
The Intrepid class starship is equipped with two high-power science sensor pallets in the saucer section, dorsal, aft of the bridge module and just aft of the upper, auxiliary deflector. The pallets are unplated for ease of upgrade and repair, as well as enhancing sensor acuity.<br />
<br />
TACTICAL SENSORS<br />
<br />
There are 12 independent tactical sensors on the McNelly. Each sensor automatically tracks and locks onto incoming hostile vessels and reports bearing, aspect, distance, and vulnerability percentage to the tactical station on the main bridge. Each tactical sensor is approximately 90% efficient against ECM, and can operate fairly well in particle flux nebulae (which has been hitherto impossible).<br />
<br />
ASTROMETRICS LABORATORY<br />
<br />
An advancement in integrated data processing, the Astrometrics Laboratory brings with it technological refinements used first aboard the USS Voyager. Served directly by the auxiliary computer core, the Astrometrics Lab conceivably has the largest single processing potential of any single laboratory aboard ship. Facilities include multiple multi-use consoles, control facilities, a large wraparound viewscreen and a centrally placed dais with holo emitter. <br />
All information is directed to the bridge and can be displayed on any console or the main viewscreen. When under warp or staffed by demand, the Astrometrics Laboratory is manned by one supervising officer and as many as eight subordinates. <br />
Astrometrics serves the functions of Stellar Cartography also.<br />
<br />
SCIENCE LABS<br />
<br />
There are a few science labs on the McNelly; some non-specific labs are located on Deck 6 and are easily modified for various scientific endeavors including Bio/Chem, Physics tests and/or experiments. Crews rotate often among these laboratories. The Chief Science Officer’s office is attached to this bank of labs. Astrometrics is located on Deck 8 amidships. Deck 2 serves as home to the Planetary Development, Geologic Studies, Languages/Archaeology, and Biologics Laboratories. On Deck 7, there are housed two of the more expansive and specialized labs that conduct Atmospheric Physics experiments, as well as the more dangerous High-Energy Physics (note: additional SIF Field Generators are installed in the bulkheads around this lab). <br />
<br />
MEDICAL SYSTEMS<br />
<br />
There is one large sickbay facility located on Deck 5, equipped with ICU, Biohazard Support, Radiation Treatment Wards, Surgical Ward, Critical Care, Null-Gravity Treatment, Isolation Suites, a Morgue, a Dental Care Office, the Chief Medical Officer’s office and a load-out of 3 standard biobeds and one surgical bed in the main ward, ten more in the treatment area, and a small complement of emergency cots. Pursuant to new Medical Protocols, all Medical Facilities are equipped with holo-emitters for the usage of the Emergency Medical Hologram System. Additional holo-emitters for EMH use are located in Main Engineering and on the Bridge. <br />
The Counselor’s office is also located on Deck 5 to assure a more efficient medical treatment environment. Inside, the usual plain duranium walls are softened with an atypical palette outside of the normal Maquis black and red. There are no visual sensors in this office and audio recordings are done only with the voice code of the Counselor. <br />
<br />
CREW QUARTERS<br />
<br />
All crew and officers' quarters (with the exception of the Captain’s quarters on Deck 3) are located on decks 2, 4, 8, 9 and 13; with special variable environment quarters on Deck 11 for crew with special comforts. <br />
Individuals assigned to the McNelly for periods over six months are permitted to reconfigure their quarters within hardware, volume, and mass limits. Individuals assigned for shorter periods are generally restricted to standard quarter’s configuration. <br />
Standard Living Quarters are provided for both Officers and non-commissioned Officers. <br />
Crewmen can request that their living quarters be combined to create a single larger dwelling. <br />
Due to the mission profile of the McNelly Vessel, crew accommodations aboard are generally more comfortable than other ships of the line. <br />
Maquis personnel from the rank of Ensign up to Commander are given one set of quarters to themselves (cohabitation is not required). These accommodations typically include a small bathroom, a bedroom (with standard bed), a living/work area, a food replicator, an ultrasonic shower, personal holographic viewer, and provisions for pets. <br />
Officers may request that their living quarters be combined to form one large dwelling. <br />
The Captain and Executive Officer aboard an Intrepid class both have special, much larger quarters. <br />
These quarters are much more luxurious than any others on the ship, with the exception of the VIP/Diplomatic Guest quarters. Both the Executive Officer's and the Captain's quarters are larger than standard Officers Quarters, and this space generally has the following accommodations: a bedroom (with a luxurious bed), living/work area, bathroom, food replicator, ultrasonic shower, old-fashioned water shower, personal holographic viewer, provisions for pets, and even a null grav sleeping chamber. <br />
The Captain’s quarters are on Deck 3, forward most position, with an expansive view of the bow of the ship and beyond. The McNelly is a symbol of Maquis authority, a tool in dealing with other races. Wide-ranging and exploratory as the class’s mission profile is, the need for VIP quarters can be critical, even if they are not often used. These quarters are located on Deck 3. These quarters include a bedroom, spacious living/work area, personal viewscreen, ultrasonic shower, bathtub/water shower, and provisions for pets, food replicator, and a null-grav sleeping chamber. These quarters can be immediately converted to class H, K, L, N, and N2 environments. While smaller in size than those facilities aboard a Galaxy class vessel, they are still far superior in fit and finish when compared to Maquis Officer Quarters.<br />
<br />
RECREATIONAL<br />
<br />
Many of the McNelly’s missions take extended periods of time far from the usual niceties of ther home worlds for missions; as such, the ship is equipped to provide a home away from home for the Crew. <br />
There are two medium-sized Holodecks aboard the ship. Located on Deck 6, these Holodecks are proprietary Federation Technology and can comfortably support up to 15 people at a time. <br />
<br />
CREW MESSHALL<br />
<br />
The crew mess hall serves double duty aboard the McNelly due to the ship’s workhorse nature. Located in the forward section of Deck 2, the Mess is equipped with a two mass-use food replicators with an extensive recipe listing from over two hundred worlds. Eating accommodations are provided by a slew of tables and chairs. <br />
The crew Mess serves as access to the Captain’s personal dining room. <br />
At the rearmost part of the secondary hull on Deck 11 sits the aft lounge, a crew recreation area. The Aft Lounge has a battery of recreational games and assorted stuff? 3-D chess, octagonal billiards tables, and a storage center with more eclectic games such as Plak-tow can be found in the mess hall. <br />
<br />
SHUTTLEBAYS<br />
<br />
Located in the aft dorsal portion of the engineering section, the Shuttlebay is the port for entrance and egress, as well as management of auxiliary craft and shuttles. The Main Hangerbay is managed by a team of Helmsmen/Pilots, Engineers and Technicians, and Operations personnel that are based on the Flight Operations office under the supervision of the Flight Control Officer. <br />
Inward from the main hangerbay is a secondary storage/maintenance area behind huge inner airlock doors. This secondary area is almost as large as the Shuttlebay and is commonly referred to as Hangerbay 2. <br />
<br />
SHUTTLECRAFT<br />
<br />
Four Type-9 Medium Short-Range Shuttlecraft, two Runabout class Long-Range Shuttlcraft, one Type-9A Cargo Shuttle, two Type-18 Shuttlepods and two Workbee-type Maintenance Pods.<br />
<br />
AEROWING SHUTTLE<br />
<br />
In addition to the standard shuttle compliment the McNelly is also equipped with an Aerowing Shuttle that is specific to this class of starship. The Aerowing shuttle Technical Readout is as follows: <br />
Type: Intrepid Class Integrated Craft <br />
Accommodation: 6 flight crew, 10 passengers. <br />
Power Plant: 2 LF-9X4 Compact Linear Warp Drive Units, 2 FIB-3 Compact Impulse Units, and four RCS thrusters. <br />
Dimensions: Length: 24.8m; Width: 29.6m (full wingspan); Height: 4.1m <br />
Performance: Cruise: Warp 3; Max Cruise: Warp 4; Max Warp: Warp 5/12hrs <br />
Armament: 4 Type-VI Phaser Strips, Pulse Emitter, 2 Mk-25 Micro-Torpedo Launchers <br />
Mounted on the underside of the saucer section, the Aerowing rests in a recessed hatchway just aft of the ventral sensor array. The craft serves in the capacity of a runabout aboard larger ships. In fact the Aerowing’s technology and design is based, in large part, on the Danube class runabout. <br />
The Aerowing provides a large secondary craft, long-range travel, and the protection, armament, and sensor capabilities beyond that of a standard auxiliary shuttle. Facilities include two sleeping bunks and a standard runabout passenger cabin. A replicator and flight couches provide for the needs of the passengers and a two-person transporter allows for beaming of personnel or cargo when needed. Atmospheric flight capabilities allow this shuttle type to land on planetary surfaces. <br />
<br />
OPERATIONS<br />
<br />
Operations aboard the McNelly fall under one of three categories: Flight Operations, Primary Mission Operations or Secondary Mission Operations. <br />
Flight Operations are all operations that relate directly to the function of the starship itself, which include power generation, starship upkeep, environmental systems, and any other system that is maintained and used to keep the vessel space worthy. <br />
Primary Mission Operations entail all tasks assigned and directed from the Main Bridge, and typically require full control and discretion over ship navigation and ship's resources. <br />
Secondary Mission operations are those operations that are not under the direct control of the Main Bridge, but do not impact Primary Mission Operations. Some examples of secondary mission operations include long-range cultural, diplomatic, or scientific programs run by independent or semi-autonomous groups aboard the starship. <br />
<br />
LANDING MODE<br />
<br />
Intrepid class vessels are capable of atmospheric entry and egress with equipment worked into the physical design of the starship. Each vessel is equipped with anti-gravity generators as well as impulse and RCS lifters strategically placed at the mass and stress points on the bottom portion of the engineering section. <br />
During sub-orbital insertion, the McNelly lowers the projection sphere of the deflector shields and assumes an angle of attack perpendicular to the angular rotation of the planetary body if it has an atmosphere. This allows the vessel’s shape to work as a lifting body with air traveling under the broad and flat saucer and under the wing-like nacelle struts. Once in the atmosphere, navigation is controlled with RCS thrusters and use of the aft impulse engines. <br />
It is standard procedure to lower the landing gear at approximately 2500m above the Landing Zone (LZ) surface, regardless of LZ altitude. This minimizes the drag on the vessel. Once prepared for landing, aft impulse engines are shut down and four vents on the ventral hull are opened. <br />
These vents cover the ventral impulse thrust plates. Impulse engines in miniature, the thrust plates serve only to provide lift to the McNelly as the anti-gravity generators effectively reduce its weight. The RCS thrusters provide final maneuvering power. <br />
Once on the ground, crew or equipment can be transported to the surface from the vessel, or use the ship’s turbolift system that connects to channels inside the landing struts themselves, and open out near the ‘feet’. <br />
Take-off procedure is the exact reverse of landing. <br />
<br />
LIFEBOATS<br />
<br />
Pods are located on almost all decks. Each pod can support a total of eighty-six person-days (meaning, one person can last eighty-six days, two can last for forty-three, etc.). Two pods are reserved for the top four officers in the chain of command on the Intrepid class, because they are the last four to leave the ship. These are located on Deck 1, just aft of the bridge. As the number of experienced Captains dwindles in the Maquis, the notion of a Captain going down with his ship has been abolished. If the ship is abandoned, the top four officers in the chain of command will wait until everyone else is off the ship, opt to arm the auto-Destruct (not always necessary, but there if needed), and then leave in the two escape pods. The current lifepods are called ASRVs, or autonomous survival and recovery vehicles. <br />
In situations when the base vessel is not near a habitable system, up to four ASRVs may be linked together in a chain at junction ports to share and extend resources. <br />
In extreme circumstances or where additional capability is required, the entire bridge module of the Intrepid class starship can be ejected and maneuver away on its own thrusters. Since this is more time consuming than ejecting pods, this procedure is reserved only for situations where time is not critical.<br />
<br />
CONVERSIONS<br />
<br />
There have been several things added to the McNelly since it was found. The ship Engineers have converted the two deck cargo bay into a hanger. There is a complement of 8, experimental veritech fighters. Hanger doors have been added to the front of the ship to launch and recover said fighters.<br />
<br />
The Veritech Fighter had the unique ability to transform from a jet fighter into a humanoid form, known as a battle mecha. This actually arose from the human misunderstanding of Dylithium. The basic properties of this new power source seemed to encourage such modularity, although no other species, ever used this in their combat mecha.<br />
However, it produced a mecha of unparalleled maneuverability and functionality. It could race over a ground target at Mach 3, strafing with missiles and machine guns, then convert to a ground unit and mop up, secure the area, etc.<br />
It also has a third mode, Guardian, a tank mode, which was not part of the initial design. This is sort of a transitional phase between Fighter and Battle mech. It was initially only planned to be used for VTOL landings and rapid deceleration. However, test pilots quickly learned to use this useful mode in combat, allowing instant changes of direction, height and speed. And with the GU-11 gun point in the jet's hand, they could even fly in one direction, and shoot in another!<br />
There are 4 models of the Valkyrie, the VF-1A, VF-1J, VF-1S and VF-1D. The A, J, and S are all single seat fighters, and identical in all aspects except number of head lasers. The VF-1D however, is a two-seat trainer, but still fully combat capable.<br />
Also, due to their dylithium-powered engines, Veritechs can operate at full capacity in space. One other point to note is that in Battle mech mode, the mecha has agility beyond anything the average human is capable of. Any moves that the pilot can do, the mecha can easily copy, including martial arts attacks.<br />

<br />
GENERAL INFORMATION:<br />
<br />
When the McNelly was first released it was from stem to stern, the most advanced starships in Maquis Command. The class employed a new warp core, variable geometry warp nacelles, and was the first to field both bio-neural gelpaks and the Emergency Medical Hologram system. <br />
Nearly three-hundred-fifty meters long, the McNelly is built sleek and long, sporting one of the fastest top speeds on record for a Maquis vessel with the exception of the new Sovereign class and the ground-breaking Prometheus class. The tilting, wing-like nacelles can shift microns in their positions, emitting minutely adjustable warp fields that are more efficient and safer when traveling in subspace. This, combined with new verterion manufacturing and the APD-01 Warp Core, makes its propulsion systems super-advanced. <br />
The class serves multiple functions based on its load out, as well as size. An Intrepid could be seen on patrol or escort duty as easily as long-range exploration or survey. State of the art computers give it unprecedented storage capacity, access speed, and rigor conditioning. This, combined with a wide array of sensors covering a large amount of the exposed surface, makes the Intrepid class a premier ship of the line for Starfleet’s scientific endeavors. <br />
Fast, agile, and well armed, these science ships are among the more capable multi-role platforms when faced with combat situations. Advanced shielding and Type-X Phaser arrays equip it admirably, with several representatives of the class serving during the Dominion War with amazing success. <br />
Perhaps the most visible example of the superior nature of the McNelly is one of its first members. Third of it’s class, the USS Voyager made it across the Delta Quadrant aided by it’s own technology to a huge degree. The data returned by its crew has placed it permanently in the pantheon of most effective ship classes in Starfleet history. <br />
<br />
PHASER ARRAY<br />
<br />
The dorsal saucer section of the McNelly is covered by four Phaser strips; two of which extend from the aft curvature, along the length of the saucer and stop short of the auxiliary deflector incision. The aft firing arc is covered by two smaller arrays angled on the rear of the saucer section. The relative bottom of the ship is protected by two similar arrays as on the dorsal saucer section, extending to the rear of the saucer and following the curve to the aux deflector incision. Along with those arrays, are two small aft-angled Phaser strips similar to the dorsal aft-fire strips. Additional protection is provided by a single array that extends laterally across the ventral engineering hull just fore of the warp core ejection port. Far-aft strips are provided on the underside of the mobile nacelle pylons and under the shuttlebay landing deck on the underside of the ship for a total ship’s complement of thirteen arrays. <br />
The McNelly utilizes the Type X array system. Each array fires a steady beam of Phaser energy, and the forced-focus emitters discharge the Phasers at speeds approaching .986c (which works out to about 182,520 miles per second - nearly warp one). The Phaser array automatically rotates Phaser frequency and attempts to lock onto the frequency and phase of a threat vehicle's shields for maximum shield penetration. <br />
Each Phaser array takes its energy directly from the impulse drive and auxiliary fusion generators. Individually, each type X -emitter can only discharges approximately 5.1 MW (megawatts). However, several emitters (usually two) fire at once in the array during standard firing procedures, resulting in a discharge approximately 10.2 MW. <br />
The maximum effective range on the Type X emitter is 300,000 kilometers. <br />
<br />
TORPEDO LAUNCHERS<br />
<br />
The McNelly is fitted with four standard torpedo launchers, two fore and two aft. Torpedo tubes one and two (fore) are located over the main deflector dish in the Stardrive section. Aft coverage is handled by a third and fourth torpedo launcher facing the rear of the ship in the upper engineering hull near where it meets the saucer. <br />
The McNelly is armed with the Type-6, Mark-XXV photon torpedo, capable of pattern firing (sierra, etc.) as well as independent launch. Independent targeting once launched from the ship, detonation on contact unless otherwise directed by the tactical officer. <br />
The McNelly can carry a maximum of 55 torpedo casings. Of that complement, 10 are typically configured as probes with a manufacturing capacity to produce more torpedoes with available warheads. <br />
Range: Maximum effective range is 3,500,000 kilometers. <br />
<br />
DEFLECTOR SHIELDS<br />
<br />
The McNelly is equipped with a symmetrical oscillating subspace graviton field. This type of shield is similar to those of most other starships. Other than incorporating the now mandatory nutational shift in frequency, the shields alter their graviton polarity to better deal with more powerful weapons and sophisticated weaponry (including Dominion, Breen, and Borg systems). During combat, the shield sends data on what type of weapon is being used on it, and what frequency and phase the weapon uses. Once the tactical officer analyzes this, the shield can be configured to have the same frequency as the incoming weapon - but different nutation. This tactic dramatically increases shield efficiency. <br />
There are 14 shield grids on the McNelly and each one generates 157.35 MW, resulting in total shield strength of 2,202.09 MW, however typical shield configuration is 8 emitters with an output of 1,258.8 MW. The power for the shields is taken directly from the warp engines and impulse fusion generators. If desired, the shields can be augmented by power from the impulse power plants. The shields can protect against approximately 42% of the total EM spectrum (whereas a Galaxy class Starship's shields can only protect against about 23%), made possible by the multi-phase graviton polarity flux technology incorporated into the shields. <br />
The shields, when raised, maintain an average range of 30 meters away from the hull. <br />
<br />
COMPUTER CORE<br />
<br />
Number of computer cores: Two. The primary computer core is accessed in the control room on Deck 5 in amidships for maximum protection. It covers five decks and extends from Deck 2 to Deck 5. The Auxiliary core is located on Deck 10 and extends down to Deck 12, covering three decks. It is fed by two sets of redundant EPS conduits as well as primary power. The AC-15 series computer core is built under contract for the McNelly by Krayne Systems, an independent contractor based on Bynar. The structure of the computer is similar to that of most other supercomputing systems in use by Maquis vessels with stack segments extending through the ship forming trillions of trillions of connections through the processing and storage abilities of modern Isolinear chips. For missions, requirements on the computer core rarely exceed 45-50% of total core processing and storage capacity. The rest of the core is utilized for various scientific, tactical, or intelligence gathering missions - or to backup data in the event of a damaged core. <br />
Bio-Neural Gel Packs: Referred to typically as BNGs, Bio-Neural Gel Packs are a new innovation in shipboard data processing and routing. Mounted at strategic locations along the ODN pathways, each BNG consists of an artificial bio-fluid that allows transmission of neural signals. The heart of the BNG is a packet of neural clusters, grown copies of strands similar to those found in the brains of sentient beings. These clusters give the ship’s computer ‘instinctive’ data processing and routing ability as well as allowing the ship’s computer to utilize ‘fuzzy logic’ to speed up probability calculations much as a living, breathing entity would. <br />
Though a breakthrough in shipboard technology, the BNG has shown one liability in that the biological components can contract contagions and make the vessel ‘sick’.<br />
<br />
WARP PROPULSION SYSTEM<br />
<br />
The McNelly is equipped with the First-Run Advanced Propulsion Drive (APD-01). This lighter, high-power core utilizes swirl technology instead of a reaction chamber. Additional improvements to Plasma Transfer Conduit technology makes the drive system energy efficient and allows for the variable warp geometry evinced by its maneuverable nacelles. Improved verterion coil manufacture allows for smaller nacelles producing superior warp fields. Information on this Warp Drive can be found in any Maquis Library or Omnipedia. <br />
Normal Cruising Speed: Warp 7.5 <br />
Maximum Speed: Warp 9.975 for 12 hours <br />
Note: Vessels equipped with the APD-01 (M/ARA) Drive System no longer have the maximum cruising speed limit of Warp 5 imposed after the discovery of subspace damaged caused by high-warp speeds.<br />
<br />
IMPULSE PROPULSION SYSTEM<br />
<br />
The McNelly is outfitted with twin fusion-powered Krayne-19 impulse drives mounted on the aft section of the nacelle pylons. Built by Krayne Industries, the K-19 drives were specially designed for the Intrepid class with tolerances built-in for the mobile nature of their mounts, as well as variable ethereal vanes for direction of hydrogen flow. <br />
The impulse engine can propel an Intrepid class starship at speeds just under .25c, at Full Impulse and an upper ceiling of .80c at three quarters the speed of light. Generally, Starfleet Vessels are restricted to .25c speeds to avoid the more dramatic time dilation effects of higher relativistic speeds. However, such restrictions can be overridden at the behest of the ship’s captain.<br />
<br />
NAVIGATION DEFLECTOR<br />
<br />
A standard Intrepid class main deflector dish is located in the engineering hull, and is located just forward of the primary engineering spaces. Composed of molybdenum/duranium mesh panels over a tritanium framework (beneath the Duranium-Tritanium hull), the dish can be manually moved ten degrees in any direction off the ship's Z-axis. The main deflector dish's shield and sensor power comes from two graviton polarity generators located on Deck 10, each capable of generating 128 MW, which can be fed into two 480 millicochrane subspace field distortion generators. <br />
Configuration of the dish differs from standard, with a setup geared toward high-speed and balanced against efficiency. The dual G-P generators are mounted with their own emitters that flank the main emitter assembly in the center of the dish.<br />
<br />
AUXILIARY DEFLECTOR<br />
<br />
The McNelly is outfitted with a secondary or auxiliary deflector. Mounted in the forward section of the saucer, the auxiliary deflector serves as a backup in navigation, as well as for additional energy projection. Composed of molybdenum/duranium mesh panels over a tritanium framework (beneath the Duranium-Tritanium hull), the deflector can be manually moved five degrees in any direction off the ship's Z-axis. The main deflector dish's shield and sensor power comes from two graviton polarity generators located on Deck Six, each capable of generating 128 MW, which can be fed into two 480 millicochrane subspace field distortion generators.<br />
<br />
TRACTOR BEAM<br />
<br />
Equipped with a Multiphase subspace graviton beam, used for direct manipulation of objects from a submicron to a macroscopic level at any relative bearing to the McNelly. Each emitter is directly mounted to the primary members of the ship's framework, to lessen the effects of isopiestic subspace shearing, inertial potential imbalance, and mechanical stress. <br />
Each tractor beam emitter is built around three multiphase 15 MW graviton polarity sources, each feeding two 475-millicochrane subspace field amplifiers. Phase accuracy is within 1.3 arc-seconds per microsecond, which gives superior interference pattern control. Each emitter can gain extra power from the SIF by means of molybdenum-jacketed wave-guides. The subspace fields generated around the beam (when the beam is used) can envelop objects up to 920 meters, lowering the local gravitational constant of the universe for the region inside the field and making the object much easier to manipulate. <br />
Effective tractor beam range varies with payload mass and desired delta-v (change in relative velocity). Assuming a nominal 15 m/sec-squared delta-v, the multiphase tractor emitters can be used with a payload approaching 2,330,000 metric tons at less than 2,000 meters. Conversely, the same delta-v can be imparted to an object massing about one metric ton at ranges approaching 30,000 kilometers. <br />
<br />
TRANSPORTER SYSTEMS<br />
<br />
The McNelly is equipped with a total of three personnel transporters capable of a maximum payload mass of 900kg (1,763 lbs) at a maximum range: 40,000 km. The maximum beam Up/Out Rate is approximately one hundred persons per hour per Transporter <br />
The McNelly also has a total of two cargo transporters capable of a maximum payload Mass of 800 metric tons. <br />
Finally a total of two emergency transporters which are capable of a maximum range of only 15,000 km (send only) [range depends on available power] with a maximum beam out rate of one hundred persons per hour. <br />
<br />
COMMUNICATIONS<br />
<br />
Standard Communications Range: 30,000 - 90,000 kilometers with a Standard Data Transmission Speed: 18.5 kiloquads per second. The Subspace Communications Speed: Warp 9.9997 <br />
<br />
SENSOR SYSTEMS<br />
<br />
Long range and navigation sensors are located behind the main deflector dish, to avoid sensor "ghosts" and other detrimental effects consistent with main deflector dish millicochrane static field output. Additional sensors are placed behind the auxiliary deflector, allowing the McNelly one of the most refined forward scanning capabilities of any ship in the fleet. Lateral sensor pallets are located around the rim of the entire Starship, providing full coverage in all standard scientific fields, but with emphasis in the following areas: Astronomical phenomena, Planetary Analysis, Remote Life-Form Analysis, EM Scanning, Passive Neutrino Scanning, Parametric subspace field stress (a scan to search for cloaked ships), Thermal variances, Quasi-stellar material, Sub-Quantum Mass Particulates. Each sensor pallet (15 in all) can be interchanged and re-calibrated with any other pallet on the ship. <br />
The McNelly is also equipped with a Warp Current sensor: This is an independent subspace graviton field-current scanner, allows the Intrepid class to track ships at high warp by locking onto the eddy currents from the threat ship's warp field, then follow the currents by using multi-model image mapping. <br />
The Intrepid class starship is equipped with two high-power science sensor pallets in the saucer section, dorsal, aft of the bridge module and just aft of the upper, auxiliary deflector. The pallets are unplated for ease of upgrade and repair, as well as enhancing sensor acuity.<br />
<br />
TACTICAL SENSORS<br />
<br />
There are 12 independent tactical sensors on the McNelly. Each sensor automatically tracks and locks onto incoming hostile vessels and reports bearing, aspect, distance, and vulnerability percentage to the tactical station on the main bridge. Each tactical sensor is approximately 90% efficient against ECM, and can operate fairly well in particle flux nebulae (which has been hitherto impossible).<br />
<br />
ASTROMETRICS LABORATORY<br />
<br />
An advancement in integrated data processing, the Astrometrics Laboratory brings with it technological refinements used first aboard the USS Voyager. Served directly by the auxiliary computer core, the Astrometrics Lab conceivably has the largest single processing potential of any single laboratory aboard ship. Facilities include multiple multi-use consoles, control facilities, a large wraparound viewscreen and a centrally placed dais with holo emitter. <br />
All information is directed to the bridge and can be displayed on any console or the main viewscreen. When under warp or staffed by demand, the Astrometrics Laboratory is manned by one supervising officer and as many as eight subordinates. <br />
Astrometrics serves the functions of Stellar Cartography also.<br />
<br />
SCIENCE LABS<br />
<br />
There are a few science labs on the McNelly; some non-specific labs are located on Deck 6 and are easily modified for various scientific endeavors including Bio/Chem, Physics tests and/or experiments. Crews rotate often among these laboratories. The Chief Science Officer’s office is attached to this bank of labs. Astrometrics is located on Deck 8 amidships. Deck 2 serves as home to the Planetary Development, Geologic Studies, Languages/Archaeology, and Biologics Laboratories. On Deck 7, there are housed two of the more expansive and specialized labs that conduct Atmospheric Physics experiments, as well as the more dangerous High-Energy Physics (note: additional SIF Field Generators are installed in the bulkheads around this lab). <br />
<br />
MEDICAL SYSTEMS<br />
<br />
There is one large sickbay facility located on Deck 5, equipped with ICU, Biohazard Support, Radiation Treatment Wards, Surgical Ward, Critical Care, Null-Gravity Treatment, Isolation Suites, a Morgue, a Dental Care Office, the Chief Medical Officer’s office and a load-out of 3 standard biobeds and one surgical bed in the main ward, ten more in the treatment area, and a small complement of emergency cots. Pursuant to new Medical Protocols, all Medical Facilities are equipped with holo-emitters for the usage of the Emergency Medical Hologram System. Additional holo-emitters for EMH use are located in Main Engineering and on the Bridge. <br />
The Counselor’s office is also located on Deck 5 to assure a more efficient medical treatment environment. Inside, the usual plain duranium walls are softened with an atypical palette outside of the normal Maquis black and red. There are no visual sensors in this office and audio recordings are done only with the voice code of the Counselor. <br />
<br />
CREW QUARTERS<br />
<br />
All crew and officers' quarters (with the exception of the Captain’s quarters on Deck 3) are located on decks 2, 4, 8, 9 and 13; with special variable environment quarters on Deck 11 for crew with special comforts. <br />
Individuals assigned to the McNelly for periods over six months are permitted to reconfigure their quarters within hardware, volume, and mass limits. Individuals assigned for shorter periods are generally restricted to standard quarter’s configuration. <br />
Standard Living Quarters are provided for both Officers and non-commissioned Officers. <br />
Crewmen can request that their living quarters be combined to create a single larger dwelling. <br />
Due to the mission profile of the McNelly Vessel, crew accommodations aboard are generally more comfortable than other ships of the line. <br />
Maquis personnel from the rank of Ensign up to Commander are given one set of quarters to themselves (cohabitation is not required). These accommodations typically include a small bathroom, a bedroom (with standard bed), a living/work area, a food replicator, an ultrasonic shower, personal holographic viewer, and provisions for pets. <br />
Officers may request that their living quarters be combined to form one large dwelling. <br />
The Captain and Executive Officer aboard an Intrepid class both have special, much larger quarters. <br />
These quarters are much more luxurious than any others on the ship, with the exception of the VIP/Diplomatic Guest quarters. Both the Executive Officer's and the Captain's quarters are larger than standard Officers Quarters, and this space generally has the following accommodations: a bedroom (with a luxurious bed), living/work area, bathroom, food replicator, ultrasonic shower, old-fashioned water shower, personal holographic viewer, provisions for pets, and even a null grav sleeping chamber. <br />
The Captain’s quarters are on Deck 3, forward most position, with an expansive view of the bow of the ship and beyond. The McNelly is a symbol of Maquis authority, a tool in dealing with other races. Wide-ranging and exploratory as the class’s mission profile is, the need for VIP quarters can be critical, even if they are not often used. These quarters are located on Deck 3. These quarters include a bedroom, spacious living/work area, personal viewscreen, ultrasonic shower, bathtub/water shower, and provisions for pets, food replicator, and a null-grav sleeping chamber. These quarters can be immediately converted to class H, K, L, N, and N2 environments. While smaller in size than those facilities aboard a Galaxy class vessel, they are still far superior in fit and finish when compared to Maquis Officer Quarters.<br />
<br />
RECREATIONAL<br />
<br />
Many of the McNelly’s missions take extended periods of time far from the usual niceties of ther home worlds for missions; as such, the ship is equipped to provide a home away from home for the Crew. <br />
There are two medium-sized Holodecks aboard the ship. Located on Deck 6, these Holodecks are proprietary Federation Technology and can comfortably support up to 15 people at a time. <br />
<br />
CREW MESSHALL<br />
<br />
The crew mess hall serves double duty aboard the McNelly due to the ship’s workhorse nature. Located in the forward section of Deck 2, the Mess is equipped with a two mass-use food replicators with an extensive recipe listing from over two hundred worlds. Eating accommodations are provided by a slew of tables and chairs. <br />
The crew Mess serves as access to the Captain’s personal dining room. <br />
At the rearmost part of the secondary hull on Deck 11 sits the aft lounge, a crew recreation area. The Aft Lounge has a battery of recreational games and assorted stuff? 3-D chess, octagonal billiards tables, and a storage center with more eclectic games such as Plak-tow can be found in the mess hall. <br />
<br />
SHUTTLEBAYS<br />
<br />
Located in the aft dorsal portion of the engineering section, the Shuttlebay is the port for entrance and egress, as well as management of auxiliary craft and shuttles. The Main Hangerbay is managed by a team of Helmsmen/Pilots, Engineers and Technicians, and Operations personnel that are based on the Flight Operations office under the supervision of the Flight Control Officer. <br />
Inward from the main hangerbay is a secondary storage/maintenance area behind huge inner airlock doors. This secondary area is almost as large as the Shuttlebay and is commonly referred to as Hangerbay 2. <br />
<br />
SHUTTLECRAFT<br />
<br />
Four Type-9 Medium Short-Range Shuttlecraft, two Runabout class Long-Range Shuttlcraft, one Type-9A Cargo Shuttle, two Type-18 Shuttlepods and two Workbee-type Maintenance Pods.<br />
<br />
AEROWING SHUTTLE<br />
<br />
In addition to the standard shuttle compliment the McNelly is also equipped with an Aerowing Shuttle that is specific to this class of starship. The Aerowing shuttle Technical Readout is as follows: <br />
Type: Intrepid Class Integrated Craft <br />
Accommodation: 6 flight crew, 10 passengers. <br />
Power Plant: 2 LF-9X4 Compact Linear Warp Drive Units, 2 FIB-3 Compact Impulse Units, and four RCS thrusters. <br />
Dimensions: Length: 24.8m; Width: 29.6m (full wingspan); Height: 4.1m <br />
Performance: Cruise: Warp 3; Max Cruise: Warp 4; Max Warp: Warp 5/12hrs <br />
Armament: 4 Type-VI Phaser Strips, Pulse Emitter, 2 Mk-25 Micro-Torpedo Launchers <br />
Mounted on the underside of the saucer section, the Aerowing rests in a recessed hatchway just aft of the ventral sensor array. The craft serves in the capacity of a runabout aboard larger ships. In fact the Aerowing’s technology and design is based, in large part, on the Danube class runabout. <br />
The Aerowing provides a large secondary craft, long-range travel, and the protection, armament, and sensor capabilities beyond that of a standard auxiliary shuttle. Facilities include two sleeping bunks and a standard runabout passenger cabin. A replicator and flight couches provide for the needs of the passengers and a two-person transporter allows for beaming of personnel or cargo when needed. Atmospheric flight capabilities allow this shuttle type to land on planetary surfaces. <br />
<br />
OPERATIONS<br />
<br />
Operations aboard the McNelly fall under one of three categories: Flight Operations, Primary Mission Operations or Secondary Mission Operations. <br />
Flight Operations are all operations that relate directly to the function of the starship itself, which include power generation, starship upkeep, environmental systems, and any other system that is maintained and used to keep the vessel space worthy. <br />
Primary Mission Operations entail all tasks assigned and directed from the Main Bridge, and typically require full control and discretion over ship navigation and ship's resources. <br />
Secondary Mission operations are those operations that are not under the direct control of the Main Bridge, but do not impact Primary Mission Operations. Some examples of secondary mission operations include long-range cultural, diplomatic, or scientific programs run by independent or semi-autonomous groups aboard the starship. <br />
<br />
LANDING MODE<br />
<br />
Intrepid class vessels are capable of atmospheric entry and egress with equipment worked into the physical design of the starship. Each vessel is equipped with anti-gravity generators as well as impulse and RCS lifters strategically placed at the mass and stress points on the bottom portion of the engineering section. <br />
During sub-orbital insertion, the McNelly lowers the projection sphere of the deflector shields and assumes an angle of attack perpendicular to the angular rotation of the planetary body if it has an atmosphere. This allows the vessel’s shape to work as a lifting body with air traveling under the broad and flat saucer and under the wing-like nacelle struts. Once in the atmosphere, navigation is controlled with RCS thrusters and use of the aft impulse engines. <br />
It is standard procedure to lower the landing gear at approximately 2500m above the Landing Zone (LZ) surface, regardless of LZ altitude. This minimizes the drag on the vessel. Once prepared for landing, aft impulse engines are shut down and four vents on the ventral hull are opened. <br />
These vents cover the ventral impulse thrust plates. Impulse engines in miniature, the thrust plates serve only to provide lift to the McNelly as the anti-gravity generators effectively reduce its weight. The RCS thrusters provide final maneuvering power. <br />
Once on the ground, crew or equipment can be transported to the surface from the vessel, or use the ship’s turbolift system that connects to channels inside the landing struts themselves, and open out near the ‘feet’. <br />
Take-off procedure is the exact reverse of landing. <br />
<br />
LIFEBOATS<br />
<br />
Pods are located on almost all decks. Each pod can support a total of eighty-six person-days (meaning, one person can last eighty-six days, two can last for forty-three, etc.). Two pods are reserved for the top four officers in the chain of command on the Intrepid class, because they are the last four to leave the ship. These are located on Deck 1, just aft of the bridge. As the number of experienced Captains dwindles in the Maquis, the notion of a Captain going down with his ship has been abolished. If the ship is abandoned, the top four officers in the chain of command will wait until everyone else is off the ship, opt to arm the auto-Destruct (not always necessary, but there if needed), and then leave in the two escape pods. The current lifepods are called ASRVs, or autonomous survival and recovery vehicles. <br />
In situations when the base vessel is not near a habitable system, up to four ASRVs may be linked together in a chain at junction ports to share and extend resources. <br />
In extreme circumstances or where additional capability is required, the entire bridge module of the Intrepid class starship can be ejected and maneuver away on its own thrusters. Since this is more time consuming than ejecting pods, this procedure is reserved only for situations where time is not critical.<br />
<br />
CONVERSIONS<br />
<br />
There have been several things added to the McNelly since it was found. The ship Engineers have converted the two deck cargo bay into a hanger. There is a complement of 8, experimental veritech fighters. Hanger doors have been added to the front of the ship to launch and recover said fighters.<br />
<br />
The Veritech Fighter had the unique ability to transform from a jet fighter into a humanoid form, known as a battle mecha. This actually arose from the human misunderstanding of Dylithium. The basic properties of this new power source seemed to encourage such modularity, although no other species, ever used this in their combat mecha.<br />
However, it produced a mecha of unparalleled maneuverability and functionality. It could race over a ground target at Mach 3, strafing with missiles and machine guns, then convert to a ground unit and mop up, secure the area, etc.<br />
It also has a third mode, Guardian, a tank mode, which was not part of the initial design. This is sort of a transitional phase between Fighter and Battle mech. It was initially only planned to be used for VTOL landings and rapid deceleration. However, test pilots quickly learned to use this useful mode in combat, allowing instant changes of direction, height and speed. And with the GU-11 gun point in the jet's hand, they could even fly in one direction, and shoot in another!<br />
There are 4 models of the Valkyrie, the VF-1A, VF-1J, VF-1S and VF-1D. The A, J, and S are all single seat fighters, and identical in all aspects except number of head lasers. The VF-1D however, is a two-seat trainer, but still fully combat capable.<br />
Also, due to their dylithium-powered engines, Veritechs can operate at full capacity in space. One other point to note is that in Battle mech mode, the mecha has agility beyond anything the average human is capable of. Any moves that the pilot can do, the mecha can easily copy, including martial arts attacks.<br />

The Valkyrie-class was designed as a replacement for the Peregrine-class fighter designed in the 2360s. It was a superior fighter that made use of advances in technology from the 2370s. It was similarly armed but was faster and more manoeuvrable. <br />
2375, after the conclusion of the Dominion War, saw the first operational Starfleet squadron of Valkyries. <br />
<br />
<br />
By 2381, however, these fighters were still being deployed in fairly limited numbers, and were often shuffled around the fleet, The USS Beliskner received a squadron of Valkyrie fighters for flight evaluations when it was upgraded to Space Control Ship specs, but they would soon be replaced by upgraded Peregrine-class fighters when the vessel was returned to fleet.</div>Mtollesonhttp://wiki.maquis.com/w/Marines/PeregrineMarines/Peregrine2011-12-26T19:56:34Z<p>Mtolleson: </p>

The Peregrine-class (also known as the Federation Fighter) was a type of shuttlecraft and fighter craft employed by the Federation. The Maquis appropriated several of these ships and used them as attack fighters during their insurrection against the Cardassian Union. Starfleet used them during the Dominion War. <br />
<br />
During Operation Return, several waves of fighters were sent to attack the Cardassian ships of a Dominion fleet. It was hoped they would anger the Cardassians enough for them to break formation, knowing the Jem'Hadar wouldn't falter, and go after the fighters, thus opening a hole in their lines. <br />
<br />
Individually these fighters do not pose much of a threat to starships and therefore normally operated in groups. To facilitate this they were often deployed on ship with large shuttlebays such as the Akira-class and El Dorado-class</div>Mtollesonhttp://wiki.maquis.com/w/Marines/gryphonMarines/gryphon2011-12-26T19:55:02Z<p>Mtolleson: </p>

The lessons learned during the Dominion War left an indelible mark on Starfleet Command. Years of concentrating on larger and larger starships had created a void in Starfleet's threat deterrent units. With the introduction of the Jem'Hadar Attack Ship and the Cardassian Hideki-Class Attack Ship, Starfleet found itself with no clear answers for these fast and heavily armed platforms.<br />
The Peregrine-Class Fighter was rushed into production and proved to be a key asset in the war effort. With the close of hostilities, Starfleet's Tokyo Research and Design Facility kicked into high gear in order to produce a small versatile platform that could deliver a significant ordnance package and provide perimeter defense. The Valkyrie design had proven a superior interceptor but its small size limited the craft's weapon load.<br />
Working with the sound design of the Valkyrie, the body was lengthened and widened to accommodate true warp nacelles and provide greater wing surface area. A larger powerplant was installed increasing the phaser capacity and shield energy. It was decided that with the addition of hardpoints utilized for full-sized torpedoes, that the new class would be a two-seater variant. A Pilot to control all flight operations and close-in combat, and a Weapons Officer to control the acquisition and delivery of heavy weapons.<br />

<div>The Veritech Fighter had the unique ability to transform from a jet fighter into a humanoid form, known as a battle mecha. This actually arose from the human misunderstanding of Dylithium. The basic properties of this new power source seemed to encourage such modularity, although no other species, ever used this in their combat mecha.<br />
However, it produced a mecha of unparalleled maneuverability and functionality. It could race over a ground target at Mach 3, strafing with missiles and machine guns, then convert to a ground unit and mop up, secure the area, etc.<br />
It also has a third mode, Guardian, a tank mode, which was not part of the initial design. This is sort of a transitional phase between Fighter and Battle mech. It was initially only planned to be used for VTOL landings and rapid deceleration. However, test pilots quickly learned to use this useful mode in combat, allowing instant changes of direction, height and speed. And with the GU-11 gun point in the jet's hand, they could even fly in one direction, and shoot in another!<br />
There are 4 models of the Valkyrie, the VF-1A, VF-1J, VF-1S and VF-1D. The A, J, and S are all single seat fighters, and identical in all aspects except number of head lasers. The VF-1D however, is a two-seat trainer, but still fully combat capable.<br />
Also, due to their dylithium-powered engines, Veritechs can operate at full capacity in space. One other point to note is that in Battle mech mode, the mecha has agility beyond anything the average human is capable of. Any moves that the pilot can do, the mecha can easily copy, including martial arts attacks.<br />
