Authors Note
Well, it took me all of 9 days from purchase [of the Starship
supplement] to finish converting all of my ships from Narrators
Guide to Starships. Yes, I know, it's a sickness. I'll be posting 11
different threads, based on government and era (with one thread
being my "miscellaneous" file). Of course, I will preface
everything with the statement that these are only my views of the
various vessels, and I do not intend to step on anyone's toes. I'm
just a gear-head who likes making things.

And this stuff is just too much fun...

Preface
For those of your unfamiliar with Dave Jones aka, Sea
Tyger, he has been one of the more prolific ship designers on
the TrekRPG forum boards specializing in converting material for
use with the CODA game system. This has mainly focused on
converting those ships found in the old FASA SRMs and
Spacedock SRMs as while as coming up with a few original
designs of his own in the past year. He was also one of a few
designers I had rounded up just about a year ago to put together
a full FASA to CODA SRM which will eventually grow out of the
effort you now see before you.
While he and I differ in some regards to interpretation at
times we both have a passion to keep these fine ships “in play”
as part of the Star Trek Roleplaying game experience and in
fandom in general. There is in the end something very traditional
about most of these ship designs. From the Loknar to the
Larson we can see these vessels very clearly in the minds eye
as they fly along side the Enterprise in some unfilmed episode of
the original series. One can not help but to think that the Original
Series era would be a cold and barren place without these game
additions and that of the countless fans efforts, who starting with
Franz Josef in the early 70’s, brought forth equally uncounted
new ships so our intrepid Starfleet (or civilian) Explorers can
“boldly go”.

Notes:
The Andor-class cruiser is a rarity of the 23rd-Century Starfleet;
it is a purely military vessel, with little of the traditional multi-
mission capabilities that most cruisers include. Designed in the
wake of the Federation's belief that the Organians had lost
interest in continuing their interdiction against Federation-Klingon
conflict, the Andor-class was built to support fleet actions.

Using a withering volley of torpedo fire to decimate enemy


formations from a distance, the Andor can hang back from the
skirmish lines and pick off ships while the front-line combatants
slug it out at close range.

The Andor is one of three Andorian designs in Starfleet service


and all are named for Andorian military leaders. Most of these
cruisers are almost entirely crewed by Andorians, and form the
core of what is affectionately termed the "Blue Fleet."

2369 update
Only 47 of these vessels were produced in its 16-year run, and
most were transferred to the Andorian Defense Force by 2300.
Four Andors were still in ADF service in 2369.

{Design Defect (warp system)}
Notes:
The predecessor to the successful Miranda-class cruiser, the
Anton was at the forefront of the Federation expansion effort in
the 2240s and 50s. A short-range exploration vessel, the light
cruiser performed the more mundane exploratory missions from
many of the new starbases that were being built along the
frontier.

The venerable class underwent a refit in 2268 to upgrade the


aging torpedo system and warp drive. However, engineers
underestimated the frailty of the Anton's reinforced space frame,
and the nacelles had a tendency to literally shear themselves off
the struts under high-speed and high-stress maneuvers. These
defects prompted Starfleet to completely redesign the vessel,
resulting in the larger Miranda-class cruiser.

Notes:
Developed parallel to the Excelsior-class program, the venerable
Constellation-class exploratory cruiser was the product of
lessons learned from the Constitution-class. This four-nacelled
cruiser was vital to Starfleet's early-24th Century deep-space
exploration efforts, and remained an integral part of the fleet well
after its production life ended.

Miscellaneous Data
Maneuvering: +2C +0H +2T
Traits: Refit: Pulse Upgrade

Notes:
The Miranda was initially designed in response to a less-than-
successful refit of the Anton-class light cruiser. Relatively cheap
and simple to build, the Miranda was produced at amazing rates,
with many different variations -- some of which were so radically
different that they could have been considered classes of their
own. The above statistics represent the "average" Miranda.

2378 update
Serving well beyond its production life, the Miranda received a
refit that extended its service life to the late 23rd-Century.
Upgrades included sensors, propulsion, torpedoes, and the
addition of a third shuttlebay to support the cruiser's continued
exploration mission.

In the wake of Wolf 359, the Miranda also added a pulse phaser
upgrade to augment its offensive capability, an addition that
proved extremely beneficial in both the Dominion War and the
second Borg attack against Sector 001.

Due to Starfleet losses in the war, the surviving Mirandas are


expected to serve for another quarter century. Engineers are
already planning another refit for the cruiser around 2382.
Baker-class Starships
Production Data
Origin: United Federation of Planets
Class and Type: Baker-class Heavy Destroyer
Year Launched: 2272

Hull Data
Structure: 40
Size/Decks: 6/25 decks

Protection/Threshold: 13/3

Miscellaneous Data
Maneuvering: +1C +3H +1T
Traits: Hardened System (shields)
Enhanced System (impulse systems) (+.1c, reflected above)

Notes:
The Baker-class heavy destroyer was initially designed as a
cruiser, but a shortage of military vessels in the early 2270s
prompted Starfleet to redesignate the class. A quick redesign
was ordered, and the first Bakers left spacedock in 2272.
The design incorporates powerful impulse engines that make it
faster in sub-light than any other vessel in production. This
superior maneuverability in combat makes up for the destroyer's
lack of firepower at long range. As such, Baker captains prefer to
close quickly and pummel the enemy with its Type VII phasers.
With a dual-walled internal structure that provides extra
protection against explosive decompression during battle, the
Baker has proven extremely hardy in combat.

The Baker's annual production rate was reduced to three


following the signing of the Khitomer Accords, and Starfleet
expects to stop production all together by the end of the decade.
Wilkerson-class Starship
Production Data
Origin: United Federation of Planets
Class and Type: Wilkerson-class Destroyer
Year Launched: 2274

Hull Data
Structure: 25

Photon Torpedoes: Mk 6 DF (x2/B)
Penetration: 3/3/3/3/3
Deflector Shield: PFF 3 (B)
Protection/Threshold: 14/3

Miscellaneous Data
Maneuvering: +0C +3H +2T
Traits: ACB Jacketing

Notes:
The second Starfleet vessel to mount the new LN-64 Mod 3 warp
engine after the Thufir's successful test, the Wilkerson-class
destroyer mirrors the Baker's speed and combat capability.
Designed more as a troubleshooter, the Wilkerson is able to
reach hot-spots quickly to support Federation interests.
The Wilkerson also suffers from a lack of firepower at range, but
again proves extremely capable in close combat. The destroyer
has gained such a reputation against the enemy that Starfleet
crews often refer to the ship's tactics as "The Wilkerson Charge."

Starfleet has opted to stop production of the Wilkerson following


the Khitomer Accords, in favor of the larger and more powerful
Baker.
Thufir-class Starship
Production Data
Origin: United Federation of Planets
Class and Type: Thufir-class Destroyer
Year Launched: 2268

Hull Data

Protection/Threshold: 13/3

Miscellaneous Data
Maneuvering: +1C +2H +2T
Traits: Hardened System (propulsion)

Notes:
When Starfleet needed a testbed for the new LN-64 Mod 3 warp
drive, they found a ship that the Andorians were designing for
use in the ADF. The destroyer was rechristened the Thufir-class,
and six vessels went into production. All launched in 2268 with
Andorian crews, and tested the new warp drive to and beyond its
limits.

USS L'neru was lost when its warp field inverted due to a
previously unknown interstellar phenomenon, vaporizing the
mysterious phenomenon and the ship in a spectacular explosion.
The remaining five test ships, however, proved the LN-64 an
outstanding success.

Thirty-three more Thufirs were built for Starfleet between 2270


and 2272. The destroyer is still produced for the ADF in small
numbers.
Remora-class Starship

Deflector Shield: PFF 2a (B)
Protection/Threshold: 13/3

Miscellaneous Data
Maneuvering: +0C +2H +3T
Traits: Enhanced System (sensors, +2)

Notes:
The Remora-class escort is a quick vessel that favors offensive
punch over defensive capability. Lacking many amenities that
other Starfleet vessels enjoy, the Remora is designed for short
missions from a supporting starbase or station.

Originally launched in 2262, the Remora received a refit in 2274


that included the addition of a Mk 6 DF torpedo system. The
ship's production schedule ended after the Khitomer Accords,
although Starfleet has no plans to replace the vessel in the near
future.

Miscellaneous Data
Maneuvering: +2C +1H +2T
Traits: Hardened System (operations)
Notes:
The Chandley's design sequence essentially began on the heels
of the Axanari Rebellion, resulting in Starfleet's largest and most
capable warship prior to 2284.

Starfleet conducted an extensive review of its actions and


capabilities during the Rebellion, and determined that it most
lacked a "troop moving" capability. It was under this initial
premise that the Chandley program began, but Starfleet's move
away from the idea of a Marine Corps-style ground force
prompted designers to shelve the design for the time being.

But when conflict with the Klingons flared up again in the 2260s,
the design was revived, updated, then shelved briefly again
when the Organian Treaty was enacted. Skirmishes with the
Klingons began to take place again in 2270, and the need for a
heavy combat vessel was once-again readily apparent. The
Chandley was revisited, altered, and approved for production.

The frigate included Type VII phasers and a hardened


operations system. The Chandley also departed from the
traditional elegant Starfleet designs for a massive, almost-
threatening look.

The Chandley ceased production in 2286, but received an


upgrade to its weapons and warp drive in 2290.

Miscellaneous Data
Maneuvering: +1C, +1H, +2T
Traits: Hardened System (Warp)
Notes:
Before the popularity of "imbedded warp nacelles" designs of the
2370s, the Northampton-class heavy frigate was one of
Starfleet's initial forays into placing the nacelles under the
protective armor of the ship's hull. Initially launched in 2275, the
Northampton incorporated many lessons learned from the
Constitution refit of 2273 and the Andorian-designed Andor-class
missile cruiser and Thufir-class destroyer.

The 2284 refit upgraded the ship's phasers to Type VIIIs,


allowing for greater penetration and point-blank and short range.
Extra structure was removed in favor of the more reliable CIDSS-
2 deflector shield.

One hundred nine Northamptons were built between 2275 and


2283, and 110 were built from 2284-2293. Starfleet discontinued
production following the Khitomer Accords, although
Northamptons expect to serve well into the second decade of the
next century.

Notes:
The Kiev-class fast frigate was Starfleet's first platform to carry
the newly-tested LN-64 Mod 3 warp system. Fast and nimble,
the Kiev immediately assumed border patrol duties along both
the Klingon and Romulan neutral zones, in squadrons of three
and four ships. These "wolf packs" quickly proved their
effectiveness in stopping blockade-runners and rogue elements
of the Klingon and Romulan navies.

By the time of the Khitomer Accords, Starfleet had already


stopped production on the class (the 211th, and last, Kiev left the
Salazaar Shipyard in 2289) and had begun phasing the ships out
in favor of the more powerful Northampton refit. The last Kiev
expects to the fleet in 2302.

Notes:
The Nelson-class scout was at the forefront of the Federation's
expansion efforts of the 2240s. Dozens of these long-range
vessels scattered to the far reaches of the frontier, cataloging
stars and planets, observing new life forms and civilizations, and
occasionally making first contact.

Unlike most of their contemporaries, the Nelson was not


spacious, instead filling all available hull space with sensor
enhancements and protection. This allowed the scout to scan
larger areas of space faster than any other vessel previously
could.

The Nelson performed its job so well that Starfleet felt no need
for a new class of scouts until the mid-2260s, when it was
apparent that the Nelson didn't have the longevity of the other
2245-era vessels, despite a 2260 refit. Many experts believed
that the original "single-down" nacelle strut design was flawed,
reducing the hull's prospective lifespan.

The Nelson was phased out in the mid 2270s, leaving Starfleet
without a dedicated scout craft for the remainder of the century.

Notes:
The Loknar-class frigate was the third of four major classes of
vessels produced during the Federation expansion period of the
mid-2240s, thanks to Andorian arguments that the new
Federation frontier needed warships in case of another
disastrous first contact (like the Romulans and Klingons in
decades and centuries past). As such, the Loknar is the first
popular "Andorian" design, and its lengthy service is a tribute to
the quality of Andorian engineering.

The frigate proved its value during the Axanar rebellion, although
Starfleet realized the need to add photon torpedoes to the ship
(which it did in a 2253 refit). One ship, the former USS Morgan
City (NCC-2704), was captured by Klingon Admiral Kamato in
2255 and later used in an failed attempted coup of the
chancellorship. Kamato later used the frigate, now called the
IKSV Staav'eMara, to prey on shipping within the Triangle
sector. The ship was last seen in 2278, but intelligence reports
indicate it is still in active Klingon service.

The Loknar received a second refit in 2269, upgrading phasers,


torpedoes and warp drive. Despite being superceded by the
Chandley-class, dozens of Loknars remain in service as late as
2293, but the class expects to be phased out by 2310.

Notes:
The Larson-class destroyer was part of the Federation's
expansion of the 2240s. An efficient patrol vessel that carried a
surprisingly capable science department, the Larson often
operated independently in peacetime, performing many of the
same functions as the Constitution and Anton-class cruisers.

The class saw heavy action in the Axanar Rebellion, performing


well above expectations. However, Starfleet found flaws within
the destroyer's shield grid, and corrected the problem with a
2259 refit that upgraded to PFF 2a shields.

The Larson was further modernized in 2270, with upgrades to


weapons and impulse systems, making it one of the fastest ships
in the fleet at sub-light. But the advent of the faster and more
modern Baker and Wilkerson-class destroyers in the early-to-mid
70s prompted Starfleet to phase the Larson out by 2283.
