Star Trek: The New Frontiers OOC

This ORP takes place in the year 2400, roughly 21 years after the movie "Star Trek Nemesis". Essentially this will be the next generation of the next generation. So far have not planned on using any of the novels as part of the history for this generation, however the frist six books written by William Shattner in where Captain Kirk returns are a possibility.

The setting for this ORP will be on board Starfleet's latest starship. The U.S.S. Chimera is a prototype so she still has a lot of bugs that need to be worked out.

After Nero expands his attacks to Klingon ships, Chancellor Martok orders a fleet to enter Romulan space. He appoints his friend Worf as one of the mission's commanders, giving him the rank of General for the mission.

Meanwhile, Geordi La Forge brings the Jellyfish to Vulcan and agrees to allow Spock to pilot it to the Hobus system.

According to sensor reports recorded on Stardate 65471.6 by the USS Enterprise, the Hobus supernova was contained by a limited singularity, ending the threat to the quadrant. Starfleet believes that both the Jellyfish and the Narada were lost.

"He sacrificed himself to save us all," Ambassador Picard says of his friend Spock. "May his soul live long and prosper."

78000.00 (2400): The U.S.S. Chimera is the first of two prototypes launched by Project Daedalus.

Don't see eough of them in my opinion. Reminds me of what the Klingons said in Undiscovered Country "The Federation is nothing more then a Homo Sapians only club." Although I think she should have said Starfleet instead of Federation.

HISTORY

Miguel entered Starfleet Academy at the age of sixteen, and from day one he proved that he was an exceptional and gifted indivdual. He excelled in virtually every catagory. It was assumed that he would be on the fast track to Captain. He surprised everyone when he stayed at the Academy for three extra years. First to earn an advanced degree in Anthropology, then two years of Advanced Tactical Trainning. Upon completion of his training he was assigned to Starfleet's Special Operations divison.

After nearly ten years of service in Special Operations, Miguel transfered to Exploration Command, he was assinged to the USS Independance as it's XO. Miguel served with the same devotion to duty, and excellance that he had shown all of his career. Within three years he was offered his own command of the USS George Washington. During his tour as the commander of the G.W., Miguel made first contact with no less than 15 civilizations, and conducted at least two dozen trade agreements and other treaties.

In 2399 he was offered command of Starfleet's newest state-of-the-art starship, the new U.S.S. Chimera



PERSONALITY PROFILE

Miguel is an exceptional and gifted officer. He has strong sense of honor and would never do anything to violate his personal code. His strong will has allowed him to have a career that rivals that of some of Starfleet's most reveared officers. How ever as is common with most that have achieved so much so soon, his personal life has suffered.

Unlike some Starfleet Captain's, Miguel perfers to have an emotional attachment to those that serve under him, possibly to fill the void of not having a family, and thus is highly protective of those that become close to him. This and the fact that it is quite easy to get along with him, has earned Miguel a great deal of friendships throught the years of people that will do just about anything for him.

I remember having seen an episode once where 'starfleet timecops' came back and interrogated crew about a 'time/space incident'... I think it was on deepspace nine, the one where they insinuated themselves into the tribbles episode.

Anyway, what if we played in the era where these 'time police' come into being?

Temporal Investigations is a division within the Federation, they go investigate whenever there is a temporal incursion. Such as what you saw in the season 5 episode of DS9 called Trails and Tribble-ations. It was never said when this division was started, but since Kirk was known as having the largest file on record (at least until Janeway got her crew back) it is safe to assume that it happened during his era, probably after the first slingshot was performed.

Now in the 29 century it is known that Starfleet explores and monitors the timeline. However this game will not be dealing with time travel on such a scale. After all we're only 21 years later.

Okay, so a star trek/dr. who crossover is right out too then, huh?

LOL, j/k.

I don't suppose B-4 has grown into the knowledge Data left him?

MAIN REACTOR

Zero Point Tap (1): The Chimera is equipped with a Zero Point Energy tap. With it the Chimera is able to tap into the tidal forces of subspace its self as a power source. Having been compared to the galactic equivalent to a hydro-electrical power system, the ZeroPoint Tap operates by using gravimetric fields to create a constant and stable access point between subspace and real space, which is open at all times. Subspace, which is a volatile dimensional plane of existence, is ripe with massive gravitational forces.
FUEL DURATION: Theoritically Infinite

SECONDARY POWER SYSTEMS

Matter / Anti-Matter Reactor Assembly: 2,000+ cochranes

EMERGENCY POWER: 24 Independent Fusion Reactors

MAXIMUM CRUSING SPEED: Warp 9.9999 for upto six months

Using MARA
NORMAL CRUSING SPEED: Warp 2 for upto 6 months
MAXIMUM SPEED: Warp: 9.982 for 12 hours

SLIPSTREAM: As a result of recent breaks throughs regarding subspace, Starfleet engineers discovered an alternate dimensional plane devoid of matter, in which space is distorted to the point that distance means almost nothing. Slipstream is used as a shortcut by space fairing races, allowing ships to traverse the galaxy in hours, days or weeks, rather than years or centuries. Starfleet engineers chose to call this space Slipstream because of the conduit that the ship seems to fly through when in this other plane.
VELOCITY: Greater then Warp 9.9999

SUBLIGHT PROPULSION SYSTEMS

GRAVIMETRIC DRIVE SYSTEM (GDS): As Starfleet Research and Development progressed in their research of the Romulan's Artifucal Singularity, they encountered an unforeseen variable. That variable is what the GDS uses to create the sub-light movement of the ship and the artificial gravity present. The GDS constructs a three lobed subspace field that acts in many ways similar to the way that the Warp Drive works. Instead of going into FTL however, the Drive increases maneuverability and efficiency of sub-light travel. The most important factor of the development of the GDS is its enhanced subspace field manipulation factor. Through this the Starfleet Research and Development team was able to construct a realistic protocol matrix. This protocol matrix would side step the subspace field interference that they found in earlier simulations. It was found that the Impulse Engines would contribute greatly to the immediate loss of any Federation vessel equipped with a Artifical Singularity due to the interference its subspace field matrix induced into the system. Subsequently the development of the GDS system and its integration into the new Chimera Class prototype was considered to be of paramount importance.
NORMAL CRUISE SPEED: 270 million km per hour.
SUGGESTED MAXIMUM SPEED: 540 million km per hour.

DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS

TYPE XVI PHASERS (15): The Chimera Class is armed with multiple arrays of the new type XVI Phasers (Quantum Phasers). They are not only more powerful then the Type XIV arrays, but have a more rapid rate of fire, each strip is capable of locking onto and firing ten beams at ten diferent targets. The Quantum Phasers still release their energy through the application of the rapid nadion effect, however they have now been further enhanced with a beam of coherent gravity waves which disrupts the very molecules of the target at a quantum level. Any target area hit by the beam is literally torn apart at the subatomic level, reducing the affected area to a very hot cloud of quarks and mesons.
TOTAL OUTPUT: 425,000 TerraWatts
RANGE: 1,000,000 km


RAPID FIRE TORPEDO TURRET (1): This turret allows torpedoes to be fired directly at a target, rather than having to maneuver toward it after launch - a measure which cuts down the torpedo flight time against targets at short range. The Chimera's turret is capable of firing seven torpedoes per second, a rate of fire higher than any other model of torpedo tube in service.
PAYLOAD: 200 Transphasic Torpedoes / 12 Tri-Cobalt Devices
MAXIMUM SIMULATINOUS SPREAD: 7 torpedoes / projectiles per second
RANGE: 4,600,000 km

TYPE 5 BURST FIRE TORPEDO TUBES (6 fwd, 4 aft): The type 5 is one of the most powerful torpedo tubes currently in service with the Federation. It can fire a burst of twelve torpedoes every five seconds.
PAYLOAD: 500 Quantum Torpedoes / 200 Photon Torpedoes
MAXIMUM SIMULATINOUS SPREAD: 12 Torpedoes
RANGE: 4,600,000 km

ANTIMATTER SPREAD: A specially designed emitter that releases a predetermined amount of antimatter. The charges that are released are relatively harmless, and act similar to fireworks. They are quite effective in disruppting sensors from picking up engine ionizations.

COUNTER MEASURES: In addition to having the toughest armor of any known starship, the is equipped with a new system that releases small metalic discs which can be fired from the ship. These discs break energy weapons down to their various frequencies.


TRANS-SPATIAL SHIELDING: This new shielding system builds a back-buffer shield in addition to the primary shield. When sufficient damage is taken to the primary shield, the back buffer is phased through to replace the primary while it regenerates within the protection of the new primary shield. This new system consumes a good deal of energy, which is supplied by half a dozen fusion reactors arrayed near the shield emitters. The new shields also incorperate every advancement Starfleet has made in the last 20 years (ie. Auto modulating, Meta-phasic shielding, Regenerative, and Multi-Spatial shielding technology)
TOTAL CAPACITY: 15,000,000 terawatts

High level Structural Integrity Field

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

The hull matrix of the Chimera is composed of a combination of Cold Plasma, heavy Adimantium, and a Poly-Crystalline mesh. This has made the Chimera one of the most resilient and damage-resistant starships ever created by Starfleet (without the use of shields). The hull of the Chimera is capable of absorbing up to 80% of all energy directed at it. Also as a result of the Poly-Crystalline mesh the Chimera is capable of regenerating damage taken to her outter hull thanks to advances in crystalline regeneration. In effect the Chimera's hull is capable of healing itself, the time it takes for regneration of course depends on the amount of damage taken.

The Chimera is also using the latest version of the Ablative Armor Generator. The new armor is created by by generators located on the ship's hull. The new armor uses photons to establish a shield matrix around the ship and solidifies becoming quite literally a second skin. This second skin is basicly made of the same materials that the Chimera's primary hull is, except is some ten times denser. The greatest advantage of this new armor over its predecessors is that the Chimera does not need to open any special appatures in order to use the armor.

Each deck has been outfitted with special holo-emitters that allow the ship's EMH to have full access to the ship in an emergency.

CLOAKING ABILITIES: Thanks to a new understanding of subspace as well as new subsapce technology the Chimera has the ability to cloak. Essentially the Chimera cloaks by phasing somewhere between real space and the first level Subspace. This allows the ship to not only become undetectable but also intangible and unaffected by anything in the normal universe. The settings range from merely becoming invisible, to being completely intangible, however when intangible the ship's weapons are useless and cannot fire. With only the normal cloak engaged, the Chimera is extremely difficult to detect, and can still fire her weapons.

U.S.S. Chimera- Appearance

Here's what she looks like



Here's a close up of her new type of nacelles.



Although the ship looks like it only has 2 nacelles, she actually has 4. It's a new design that actually has 2 nacelles in one housing. The idea and the drawing actually came from an old friend of mine.

Tour- Bridge

Some more pics put together by a good friend of mine.

Captain's Ready Room



Located on Deck 1 and adjacent to the main bridge is the Captain's ready room. It is here that the commanding officer can spend a moment to themselves, work privately, or rest from the busy life of a starship captain. While at the same time, if a crisis should occur, he/she would be moments away from the bridge. The ready room provides several amenities useful for the commanding officer.

The room is quite spacious. It has a desk with built in desktop viewer for personal communications. Along the walls are shelves for personal items. The room also has a small bed along the wall, should the captain decide to rest between shifts, choosing not to return to his quarters.

The ready room also has its own replicator and computer station, which allows the captain access to the main computer, as well as the ability to monitor any ship system.

The ready room of the Chimera is typically furnished with personal touches inspired by Captain Torres. The room has a large painting of the Chimera behind the desk, which secretly hides an old fashioned Captain's safe.

XO's Office

This spot will be resevered for the XO's office if my friend ever finds his creative muse again.

Observation Lounge



The observation lounge is located on Deck 1, adjacent to the bridge and across from the Executive Officer's Office.The room, also known as the Briefing Room, is known for its simplistity to remove distractions from the attentions of its occupants. The only exceptions, however, are mutliple windows to the forward and port quarters that allow one to gaze out to the unknowns, or even watch external repair teams. A replicator also stands near the entrance programmed only to dispense drinks and snackable items, however, this can be modified by the commanding officer, or the ship's chef, if he or she desires to dine in the middle of a long-winded briefing.

A curved table rests in the middle of the room, surrounded by as many as eleven chairs; just enough for the senior staff and any mission specialists. The table itself is lit from the inside and serves as the room's primary lighting source. Small lighting strips also surround the ceiling, and are only activated if the table's lights are inoperative. At every chair, there is a small keypad. Each keypad can control the room's lighting, internal communications, even alter the progress of the presentation displayed on the Primary Display Unit. In the middle of the table is a holographic projector. This projector is ideal for presentations involving three dimensional objects, including damage reports, scan anaylsis, etc.

Behind the table is the Primary Display Unit. It has five display screens, with the one in the middle the largest. Its control grants the user unlimited access to the computer and sensors. The other display screens contain additional presentations waiting to be viewed, progress reports, or even the ship's current mission and/or operational status.

Right, then, I'll take the Ship's Counselor position. But I think I'll go human this time - give me some time to work on a bio.

Sure thing. As you can see I've been busy lol.

Engineering

I don't have any original pics of engineering just yet. But here's something to give everyone a rough idea.



Main Engineering is about 3 decks in height. As you can see no warp core. Since the ship is powered by a new type of core no need to have one in main engineering. Now connected to it will be the new core (Zero-Point Energy Tap) which is actually about 6 decks in height. Now the closest thing I can think of to how it looks is actually this, a picture from G.R. Andromeda.



Now of course Starfleet wouldn't send out a ship with a new type of power source without some sort of backup. So located in the saucer section we have a small Class 5 warp core that can be brought online in an emergency.

Astrometrics



Astrometrics (formerly known as Stellar Cartography) is part of Chimera's Science Department. Its primary function is to examine the political structures and statistics of all major political powers in all known galaxies. A geographical map of the galaxy is available on record for those who wish to view the relative political borders of the governments listed in this section.

Astrometrics is divided into two areas. The first area much like a lab. It is fitted with three customizable research stations with unlimited access to Chimera's sensor grid. In the center of the room is a large table with three smaller workstations. Each of these control holo-emitters in the ceiling and the primary display screen opposite the research stations. Utilizing holo-emitters, they are the cutting edge of Federation computer technology, allowing for highly accurate starship course control, and even long-term projections of Astronomical events.

The second area is the Holosphere. The Holosphere is exactly that, a sphere fitted with holo-emitters to project holographic images on the inside of the sphere. These holo-emitters are controlled by an anti-gravity platform with a single workstation in the center of the sphere. This platform is accessed by a retractable, translucent walkway. The holo-emitters may also be controlled by nerual-transmitting gloves that are worn by the user.

The imaging database is driven by an advanced holographic generator which obtains its data from Chimera's central computer core. The lab is directly linked to Chimera's sensor arrays so that incoming data instantly updates existing records. Chimera's sensors can detect everything from an overview of the entire galaxy to a specific region of a planet when information on political alliances and alien borders can be displayed as detailed maps. As well as showing complex data and sensor readings as computer graphics, both the screen and the holosphere can relay visual data such as log entries, and can be used as a conventional viewscreen to establish face-to-face communication. The holosphere is also integrated with the new Starfleet Holographic Network, which combines both communications and holographic imaging, recording, and projection. These displays can be overlaid with charts, labels and grids to show Chimera's most recent course, or a projected course, or just internal ship schematics.

The modified systems are ten times more accurate than the technology originally fitted on a Starfleet vessel. The new Astrometrics sensors use the stars to navigate by measuring the radiative flux of up to three billion stars simulaneously, and the computer then calcuates Chimera's position relative to the center of the galaxy.

Tactical Planning



Located on Deck 11 and 12 is easily the largest and most visually spectacular of the Chimera's facilities.

Because of the relatively limited number of Federation starships (compated to the number of uncharted and unexplored stars in our galaxy), it is very important that the position of every deep-space assigned Federation starship be accounted for, should the need arise. WIth the Tactical Planning Center, Chimera's captain is aware of any ships that could need his assistance, or the slim possibility of coming to the Chimera's assistance as well.

In the event that Chimera has suffered extreme damage, and both the main bridge and the battle bridge have been declared inoperative, Tactical Planning's control stations can be quickly reconfigured to serve as a tertiary bridge. During battles involving a fleet of starships, Tactical Planning can be manned by the captain, or the Admiral in charge of the fleet, in order to effectively deploy and monitor all ships in combat.

Sickbay 1 & 2



The Chimera is equipped with not one, but two sickbays. One is located on deck 9 is where the Chief Medical Officer spends most of their time, and the other is on deck 13 and is run by the ACMO. The medical facilities on the Chimera are more advanced than the one on Sovereign Class ships due to the primary mission the U.S.S. Chimera being one of defending the Federation.

Sickbay has been modernized and all the latest technology is incorporated. Each bio bed now has the entire readout panels attached to the bed, making for a less clutterd and sterile look. Each panel is independently operated by the Doctors or nurses.

The master console (seen at far end of room) is for monitoring any individual or set of biobeds. The console also doubles as a communications console as well as direct computer interface if required.

The door on far end left (with medical symbol and blue stripe) is the Chief Medical Officer's main office. The opposite entrance is the main entrance into the sickbay by medical personnel or other authorized personnel. Note the shuttered windows, which can be closed and sealed to quarantine the area or prevent onlookers from interfering.

Okuda Lounge

This is the Chimera's version of Ten Foward.
