Description
The project for this ship was lead by Miles O'Brien and was partially based on his experience working on DS9. It is designed to test and compare new and old technologies from different backgrounds, looking for compatibility issues and finding ways to resolve them. It features the unique registry of EX-0001 because of it's unique purpose as an engineering and operations testing ship (though it is a functional starship, this is for testing purposes only).

The ship is very minimalist, with the plasma conduits exposed on the hull surface, both to save space and to allow easy access for maintenance. There are also various interchangeable and jettisonable modules for loading in different technologies, each fitted with a variety of connections. Main engineering is located in a pod at the back and even the nacelles are modular.
Underneath the ship is a deflector pod. This is one of several deflector pods with different deflector configurations and technologies. From raw output designs for moving/clearing debris to highly focussed designs for incorporating new warp technologies like slipstream, and other designs taking other considerations into account.

And it has extensive internal sensors for monitoring a variety of potential problems and issues that might occur, including some that might be extremely rare for a normal ship, but more common when intentionally mixing and matching technologies.
