First, as you know, the legendary Nichelle Nichols passed away at the age of 89 from natural causes.

I've decided to work on the 3 nacelled Federation class dreadnought where it was similar to another dreadnought I had built:

But giving it a much more fuller look.

I thought about this after the first season finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, "The Quality of Mercy," and a Short Treks story I had in my mind where Pike writes a letter as to why he had to go to Boreth to get a time crystal and undo what he did. But to add to the tragedy, the Federation wins the war, but it broke the Federation at its core by virtually wiping out Romulus and Remus.

Where Admiral Alexander Marcus took 4 dreadnoughts -- 2 Federation class and 2 Dreadnought class -- to cripple the Romulan war effort by attacking the Reman dilithium mines. But what Marcus didn't tell them was he was going to instigate general order 24 to take out the Romulans, and cryptically calling the 4 ships Special Task Force 618 -- from the book of Revelation 6:1-8.

The ships names where the USS Vengeance, USS Star Empire, USS Dominion and USS Confederate. Out of 1000 men, women and anyone in between, only 83 survivors, and they went on trial for numerous war crimes.

I figure after the Federation/Klingon war, Starfleet had already started to design and build dreadnoughts for extreme threats to the Federation.

Despite being bigger than a Constitution class, it has a limited crew compliment. This is because there's tonnes upon tonnes of military hardware on the ship.

- 20 phaser banks with heavy cyclotrons

- added shield generators

- 2 offensive torpedo launchers and 1 aft defensive torpedo launcher

- 2 heavy forward firing antiproton cannons linked directly to the warp core on the secondary hull.

There are also 6 impulse fusion reactors dedicated to enhancing the tactical systems including the phasers. This means more space needed for coolant tanks, thermoelectric generator and power converters. Not to mention fuel.

The ship has 4 shuttle bays, 2 on the saucer, 2 on the engineering section. The primary shuttle bay is the lowest one and upside down with the room for fighters and attack shuttles. The secondary is for added auxiliary space craft to add to the fighter compliment. The saucer ones are a combination of smaller shuttle bays and cargo bays.

Due to the lack of room, the accommodations for the crew aren't too much dissimilar to the USS Cerritos with them sleeping on bunks in the wall, and the Starship Troopers coed shower.

They have food synthesizers, but almost no hydroponics. The material comes from the ship's water tanks, and from nutrition packs that has the raw materials for the synthesizers stored in the cargo bays. Wastes in the septic tanks are broken down to extract as much water as possible leaving behind inert waste products. But they recycle water like on the Enterprise. They store their oxygen supply, but they can recycle CO2 into O2 and carbon powder by using the Bosch reaction, that way they can still breathe and stay hydrated.

As you can tell, the port and starboard nacelles don't have ramscoops. This is because this isn't a long range explore, but rather a dedicated tactical cruiser not meant to be away from a space port for more than a year. And therefore less equipment for the dreadnought.

This means it doesn't have a specially designed bar, short order cooks, nor a galley like the Enterprise. Just food synthesizers and TV dinners in the event of food synthesizer failure. It has a more stocked sickbay, a gymnasium, and an augment reality room mostly for training and target practice. But no guest quarters and maybe 2 general use science labs instead of the Enterprise's 14 specialized science labs. And a much more limited evacuation limit.

The 3rd nacelle is to help redistribute the stress of high warp speeds to let the ship reach warp 10.

Or more specifically, when the Enterprise has a maximum sustainable speed of warp 8.4 for 12 hours, and warp 9 for an hour, the dreadnought has a maximum sustainable speed of warp 9 for 12 hours, and warp 9.6 for an hour. But for a few minutes, it can reach warp 10 without damage thereby maintaining the literature of the Starfleet Technical Manual.

Even if the warp speeds were from TNG, then compare the Federation class's warp 9.6 for an hour vs the Galaxy class's warp 9.6 for 12 hours. A MAJOR upgrade.

Meaning the dreadnought may be bigger, faster, stronger and more durable than the Enterprise doesn't mean it's a better ship.

Hopefully soon, I will have this ship converted into 3DS and OBJ for all to use.
