Description

Despite what the image shows, the dreadnought is only 307.8m across, and not 615.6m. I just scaled it up so it has the same sense of intimidation as the USS Vengeance from Star Trek Into Darkness (2013).

The background is the Pelican nebula that's found on www.celestiamotherlode.net/cat…

Speaking of scale:

L - 307.8m
W - 150m
H - 87.67m

Armament:

- 20 phasers
- 2 offensive photon torpedo launchers
- 1 aft defensive photon torpedo launcher
- 2 heavy antiproton particle cannons

Performance:

Maximum safe speed (indefinite): warp 7
Maximum sustainable speed (12hrs): warp 9.6
Maximum attainable speed (1hr): warp 10

The third nacelle helps take on the extra burden at high warp speeds.

The upper nacelle has the traditional ramscoop, but the other 2 nacelles don't. I didn't put in the traditional ramscoop due to saucer interference, and have different ramscoops that doesn't have the Ion Beam Emitter (IBE) because the ship refuels by collecting ionized helium-3 and deuterium expelled from stars.

And make it a precursor to the FWG-1 warp engines like in the Enterprise (Constitution 2) class and Miranda class without the red glow to save on engine power. The space-energy/matter sink (acquisition) are the ramscoop intake vents, and the magnatomic flux constriction - first stage is the magnetic field cooling grille. And those are only turned on during refueling from stars.

The IBE made a resurgence with the Enterprise-B as it became far more effective with improved ramscoop technology.

Despite its size, it's a very crowded starship as it has tonnes of military hardware such as the phaser cyclotrons and cooling systems that takes up a tonne of room. Even added fusion reactors to boost phaser power which also takes up more room along with cooling systems, fuel supply, and power converters.

Much of the secondary hull is devoted to the 2 shuttle bays that also stores fighters and attack shuttles in the main bay, and additional shuttle craft in the upper bay. So much of what would be in the secondary hull, like cargo bays and fabrication, is pushed into the saucer's shuttle bays further restricting space.

This pushes the crew to sleep in bunks in the corridors like on the USS Cerritos, even having a Starship Troopers (1997) style coed showers.

No guest quarters, 2 general science labs, recreation facilities more or less limited to the gym, dojo and a larger 3D augmented reality room mostly for training like what Lorca and Tyler were in on, "Lethe."

Aka, not a real holodeck. But closer to what was seen on, "The Practical Joker."

Because it's a very lean ship like the USS Dauntless from, "Hope and Fear," they mostly store the biomass for food synthesizers, as well as TV dinners in case the synthesizers goes down. They recycle their water like on the Enterprise, but they recycle their air using the Bosch reaction where the CO2 is broken down into oxygen and carbon powder, and said powder is stored in specialized refuse.

The average person breathes out 2 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. Say a crew of 350, 700 tonnes per year. 191 tonnes of pure carbon each year. One cubic metre of carbon is about 2 tonnes. So 100 cubic metres per year.

So if a refuse is 2m high and 5m wide, then that's 20m long. Or roughly the volume of 4 shuttle crafts each year. With the saucer diameter of 150m, that's over 35,000 cubic metres on one deck on the saucer. I think there's room.

But the ship isn't meant to be out more than 6 months between deployment.

I included names for the ship's:

USS Vengeance, DT-2013
USS Dominion, DT-2115
USS Confederation, DT-2114
USS Star Empire, DT-2116

The DT is from www.shipschematics.net saying it's a dedicated tactical ship, as opposed to Naval Construction Contract. And DT-2013 for the USS Vengeance is of course the year Star Trek Into Darkness was released.

But I also included NCC-1932, USS Nichols, as in the late Nichelle Nichols.

However I didn't feel naming a dreadnought after felt appropriate. So I figure the USS Nichols is the first ship of the disarmed dreadnought ships.

Timeline wise, despite the armistice, the Federation began to design and build Federation class dreadnoughts after the war with the Klingons from the first season of Discovery. Then 10 years later on the episode, "Errand of Mercy," the Organians imposed a peace between the Federation and the Klingons. And one stipulation of that treaty is to remove the heavy artillery from the Federation class. Turning them from warships to explorers.

This includes replacing the antiproton cannons with added sensor arrays. Replacing meshes 5 and 6 with meshes 31 and 32.The number of phasers is reduced from 20 down to 8 on the saucer. Replacing mesh 14 with 29.

The tertiary nacelle is either replaced with a high resolution sensor array, or removed altogether. Either replace mesh 3 with mesh 30, or eliminate mesh 3 and replace mesh 10 with mesh 32.

And replace the saucer shuttle bays with hydroponics and recreation facilities. Replacing mesh 23 with mesh 34.

Internally, since they no longer need all of that room to launch attack fighters and shuttles, the lower shuttle bay is shortened to include additional science labs and fabrication units. And the upper shuttle bay becomes an expanded cargo bay.

The removal of a lot of the armaments means more comfortable quarters and recreation facilities.

With some minor adjustments, my personalized timeline can still work with the Diane Carey novel, Dreadnought.

EDIT:. I forgot to mention the reasoning behind the names.

USS Vengeance is of course from Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

USS Star Empire was featured in the Star Trek novel, Dreadnought, by Diane Carey.

USS Dominion and USS Confederation I was looking for -- shall we say -- unfriendly-ish names that matches up with the USS Vengeance and Star Empire where both names don't seem to coincide with the principles of the Federation.

It was from a story I had in my mind about the alternate future on the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode, "The Quality of Mercy." It's where I had the prime timeline Admiral Alexander Marcus leading forces of 4 dreadnoughts to Romulan space with the apparent intent of simply destroying the dilithium mines on Remus. But Marcus had a hidden agenda, he instigated general order 24 against Romulus.

So some unfriendly-ish names that seemed suitable for the bad guys, and against the principles of the Federation.

Dominion of course being the primary antagonists on Deep Space Nine, Confederation is a touchy subject especially with what's happening down south in the states.
