Description

"The Walker Class emerged as exploratory oriented design when compared to its Shepard sibling. Advanced sensors, expanded data storage/computation, a plethora of probes and its "vision bridge" showed its emphasis for scientific and survey assignments. The type would also be fitted with a high output impulse assembly coupled with the MY-Series Nacelles. Which can work in unison to achieve a 'supercruise' near-Warp 1 effect with minimal Dilithium expenditure. Walkers are also visually distinct with elaborate hull markings, a trademark of its Rigellian manufacturer."

The USS Xianghua (NCC-1218) returns to her home base after an eventful week of stellar mapping. Even with the latest starships and technology, nothing can ever compare with the sheer vastness of space.

OOC: Today we have Georgiou's trusty Chuán. A fair mix of the Reliant, Centaur and the NX-01. Which proves that the ghost of Eaves' Akira still casts a long shadow to any new spin-off ship. Overall, the Walker Class is an OK design, with a lot of hard edged elements and angular lines reminiscent of stealth fighter features (Is that the J-20?). The nacelles in particular are a point of contention, which appear to be unique among the DSC fleet. It's clearly attempting to be TMP flat with the multi layered sophistication of the TNG era. The commie red boy-racer stripes are also strange, but we've seen similar accents to the Excelsior's Blues and Teals. And since its very in vogue these days, the location of the bridge module has been subverted, for the pleasure of the fans.
