USS Constitution-B: Difference between revisions

The Constitution-B is a [[ma:Galaxy class|Galaxy]] class starship, making her one of the Starfleet’s most prestigious assignments. Traditionally crewed with the best and the brightest, Galaxy class vessels like the Constitution-B were formerly the largest and most powerful vessels in Starfleet. Nowadays the base design is over a decade old which means a number of newer advanced starship classes, such as the [[ma:Sovereign class|Sovereign]] or the [[ma:Intrepid class|Intrepid]] classes, have been brought in to service. Nonetheless, Galaxy class starships remain a formidable part of the fleet capable of taking on all types of assignment from exploration to diplomacy to defense. Moreover, the Constitution-B is also home to some 1000 people, not just Starfleet Officers, but also civilians and families. As such she houses a vast array of recreational facilities including gymnasiums, a theatre and concert hall, holodecks, a phaser range, an arboretum, educational facilities for children and Ten Forward bar. Temporarily, the Constitution-B was a test bed for making upgrades to the Galaxy class and she spent many years in service as an uprated vessel with a third warp nacelle. The uprated version was not altogether unsuccessful and can sometimes be seen in service, for example the [[USS Steadfast-A]] after a major refit, however, the Constitution-B being a slightly older Galaxy class vessel meant certain aspects of the upgrades proved problematic, particularly as the third nacelle was causing a slight imbalance in the ship’s warp field. Since the nacelle had been severely damaged when the abandoned ship was retrieved, Starfleet agreed that the third nacelle upgrade be removed and the vessel restored to her original configuration ready for her new missions. At the same time, slight modifications were made to the Bridge and the computer systems, and a new and versatile crew assigned. The Constitution-B's motto is '''"Undefeated"''' which is indicative of the courage, pride, energy and ingenuity of this ship's crew and officers.
