[[Image:Atlantis001.gif|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. | [[Image:Atlantis001.gif|left]]The Atlantis takes it name from a mythological island on [[Earth]] that spawned an incredibly advanced culture in primitive times.

One of [[Starfleet]]'s most advanced designs to date, the ''[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Intrepid_class Intrepid]''-class Light Explorer comes equipped with a host of sophisticated technological advances 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 computers, special SIF reinforcement grids along the hull, an auxiliary deflector, and an advanced warp propulsion system (supplemented by a "spare" warp core, actually a sufficient collection of parts to build a replacement core if necessary). | One of [[Starfleet]]'s most advanced designs to date, the ''[http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Intrepid_class Intrepid]''-class Light [[Starfleet Starships: Explorers|Explorer]] comes equipped with a host of sophisticated technological advances designed to help it perform its mission, and to give it the effectiveness of ships much larger and less maneuverable than it.

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. To ensure that the ship does not experience a catastrophic warp speed collision, it has two navigational deflectors - a main one on the forward end of the engineering hull, and a much smaller auxiliary deflector on the forward dorsal end of the saucer section. | 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.
