[[Image:118458_2.jpg|600px|left]]The Atlantis takes it name from a mythological island on [[Earth]] that spawned an incredibly advanced culture in primitive times. The mythology states that the island was lost to the sea in a great cataclysm, and people for millennia after attempted to prove this island and culture even existed. Mostly, Atlantis represented what things could be like, and caused other cultures to strive for greatness too.

One of [[Starfleet]]'s most advanced designs to date, the ''[[ma:Intrepid_class|Intrepid]]''-class light [[Starfleet Starships: Explorers|explorer]] comes equipped with a host of technology designed to help it perform its mission, and to give it the effectiveness of ships much larger and less maneuverable than it. These include multi-spectral shields, bio-neural ciruitry and a variable geometry warp propulsion system.

These include multi-spectral shields, bio-neural gel packs and circuitry and a variable geometry warp propulsion system.


The ''Intrepid'' can attain extremely high speeds not only because of its advanced warp core, but due to its variable geometry warp nacelles, which allow the ship to adjust its warp field for maximum efficiency. The vessel's streamlined shape also allows it to project an unusually efficient warp field. Since the class' primary mission profiles involve exploration and scientific experimentation, it possesses an extensive complement of laboratories and scientific facilities.

The captain's yacht attached to the ''Intrepid'' is a special ship known as an "Aeroshuttle." Patterned in part after the ''[[ma:Danube class|Danube]]''-class runabout, it is slightly larger and more maneuverable than a typical yacht.

Although not intended as a front-line combat vessel, the ''Intrepid'' has powerful tactical systems. These include multiple Type X phaser arrays and four high-yield torpedo launchers.

Most intriguingly of all, the ''Intrepid'' has atmospheric and planetfall capability - making it the largest Starfleet vessel with those abilities. When it lands, four large articulated "legs" emerge from the ventral side of the engineering hull to support it.

After a long period of decommission, the '''USS Atlantis''' was relaunched on Stardate 239102.01 under the command of Commander [[Blueheart, Raj|Raj Blueheart]].  The Atlantis is assigned to Task Force 124 as the groups Flag Ship.  Task Force 124 and the '''USS Atlantis''' are tasked with exploration of the [[Par’tha Expanse]].  The Atlantis is headquartered out of Deep Space 26.
