Intrepid class/Class Profile: Difference between revisions

Equipped with bio-neural gel packs (backed up by the fastest main computer of its day) and a class 9 warp drive, the ''Intrepid'' class launched as the most advanced and fastest class in the fleet. The class pioneered many other technologies and innovations, including the Mark 1 [[Emergency Medical Hologram, Mark I|Emergency Medical Hologram]]. Due to its agility, adaptability, and proven abilities, the class was put into service during the [[Dominion War]] from 2373 to 2375, with the USS ''Bellerophon'' serving as the personal flagship of Admiral William Ross during the conflict. Several other vessels of the class served with distinction during hostilities and after the ceasefire. Many of the class's subsystems are the direct ancestors of systems in most modern starships.

The discussion of the ''Intrepid'' class cannot be complete without mention of the USS ''Voyager''. ''Voyager'' itself was the first to test the class 9 warp drive and during its first mission found itself stranded for seven years in the unknown space of the [[Delta Quadrant]]. The ''Intrepid'' class was designed to refuel, resupply, and have minor repairs every two years. ''Voyager's'' seven year mission proved the adaptability of the ''Intrepid'' platform to accept new technologies and components and its resilience to survive conditions well beyond those of standard operations.
