USS Ronin/Small Craft: Difference between revisions

The following craft are assigned to the USS Ronin:

The Ronin's Marine spacecraft, designated Marine Spacecraft Group 11 of the 3rd Marine Spacecraft Wing, is divided into 4 squadrons. Three of these squadrons are tactical fighter squadrons, and the fourth is a support squadron.  

* SENSORS:  Standard shuttle sensor package with "TAC-LINK" secure channel to host-starship (can accept tactical and other data from host starship's Flight Operations Center on a secure subspace short-range channel).

* SPACE FRAME:  Utilizing cutting edge technology in space-frame design, the FA-150 is capable of high velocity turns up to and exceeding a massive 41g without compromising the enhanced [[SIF|Structural Integrity Field]]. A single Duranium-Tritanium hull with a high-level [[SIF]] and 2cm of ablative armor add additional protection to this gunship.

* HISTORY/NOTES:  Originally intended as a heavy assault version of the earlier FA-120 space superiority fighter, the FA-150 has become the 'drop ship' and assault gunship of choice for the Marine Corps. The fleet has also commissioned many of these for planetary defense.  A full squad of Mauls will easily handle a small capital ship without breaking a sweat, will pose a capable match for a medium capital ship, and will even put up a good fight against a large one.  Mauls are still not as common as other tactical craft.

** Combat Agility:  19,000

* ARMAMENT:  Four twin-mounted Type XVI pulsed phaser cannons.  One cannon is mounted dorsal with a 120' field of fire aft, and one is mounted ventral on the nose with a 270' field centered forward.  In twin mounts, each pair of cannons must track the same target. Two wing-mounted micro-quantum torpedo launchers.  Wing-mounted hard points can carry up to four full-sized torpedoes and are quantum rated, though typically are loaded with standard torpedoes.

* SHIELDS:  Type 10 generators capable of deflecting 2.8 x 10 to the 5th kW.  This shield package is identical to the one in the slightly older FA-150, but with the smaller profile of the Hammerhead, it is more effective.

* HISTORY/NOTES:  As one of the newer fighters, the Hammerhead offers a single pilot fighter option with a medium range for combat.

* PRODUCTION BASE: Iwaix Fleet yards, Vulcan sector.

* RATINGS: 127(1). See below for DITL summary.

* TYPE: Medium-short range warp reconnaissance fighter.

* IN-SERVICE DATE: 2380.

* ACCOMMODATION: 1 pilot and 1 copilot.

* POWER PLANT: Two 30k millicochrane warp engines, twenty-five DeFl 9200 micro-fusion RCS thrusters, and two 10k impulse engines positioned to the far left and right of the aft section for optimum turning velocity.

* DIMENSIONS: Length 13m; beam 7m; height 4m.

* MASS: 9.9m tons.

* PERFORMANCE: Warp 9.9 for 36 hours.

* ARMAMENT: One Type V phaser emitter (stern) for a total phaser output of 500 Terawatts.

* SHIELDS: Type 8 generator capable of deflecting 1.9 x 10 to the 5th kW.

* SENSORS: The crew compartment was swapped out for a high-performance, long range passive and active sensor package including GAD, TSS and jammers (see [[USS Titan]] specs for these sensor packages).  

* SPACE FRAME: Same as the Maul, except that the Mongoose leaves off the armor standard to the former and reduces the [[SIF]] to standard levels in exchange for higher speed.

* HISTORY/NOTES: The Mongoose uses the same EM-deadening tiling and stealth systems which is used on certain capital ships such as Prometheus, Sovereign, and Nebula stealth destroyers.  The Mongoose's function is purely to be unseen and to see everything else, not to fight.

** Beam Weapons: 10

** Torpedoes: 0

** Weapon Range/Accuracy: 60

** Shields: 70

** Hull/Armor: 50

** Speed: 1075

** Combat Agility: 19,000

** Total Strength: 127

The [[Type-11 shuttle]], designed by the crew of the ''Enterprise'', is a modular design that allows production with minimal extra parts straight from a ship's replicator system. It has a cockpit cabin which is separated from the rest of the interior and a docking port above the passenger compartment behind the cockpit. It is armed with three light phaser arrays and a pair of micro-photon torpedo launchers. Aboard the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'', Type-11's are traditionally named after the sites of famous battles.

 

The Type-18 shuttle was designed to function in battle situations and could even be used as an escape vehicle should the need arise.  Lacking a warp core, the pod is a poor choice for travel beyond several million kilometers. Aboard the ''[[USS Ronin|Ronin]]'', Type 18's are traditionally named after big cats of [[Earth]];

The [[Danube Class]] was first commissioned by Starfleet in 2369 for use as a light multipurpose craft in situations that demanded a vessel more powerful than a standard shuttlecraft, but lower profile than a full-sized starship. With this flexibility, a Runabout can be utilized as a long-range personnel/cargo transport, an agile mobile defense platform, or a high-speed reconnaissance vehicle.

Ideally, a Runabout is piloted by two crewmembers, although one pilot will suffice. The bridge can accommodate up to four people. Small square viewscreens mounted within the forward corners of the cabin are used for video communication and ship status displays. In the center of the vessel lies a food replicator and a compact personnel transporter. The transporter is powerful enough to transport multiple personnel at once.

The rear of the craft can be configured as a large crew cabin complete with sleeping and dining areas for extended travel. This area can also be used as a cargo bay. The Runabout is equipped with at least one manual escape hatch located near the front side of the craft.

The innovative feature that made the Runabout possible is its compact high-performance warp propulsion system. A Runabout is capable of traveling at up to Warp 8. The Runabout is also equipped with an aft tractor beam emitter strong enough to tow a Cardassian Galor class warship.

The Runabout's highly modular platform allows easy configuration for a multitude of missions. Two such modules are the mission module and sensor pod. For defense, the Runabout is armed with phasers and micro-torpedoes. The micro-torpedo launcher assembly is accessible via a hatch on the floor of the forward cabin. The three Runabouts assigned to the Ronin are the ''USS Wye'', the ''USS Rio Grande'' and the ''USS Tanaro'', the first named after a [[wp:River Wye|river in Wales]], the second a [[wp:Rio Grande|river in Colorado]] and the third a [[wp:Tanaro (river)|river in Italy]].

*Aboard the [[Ronin|Ronin]], Type M-1 Sphinx Workpods are traditionally named after famous inventors; In 1876, at the age of 29, ''Alexander Graham Bell'' invented the telephone. ''John Logie Baird'' is remembered as the inventor of mechanical television (an earlier version of television). Baird also patented inventions related to radar and fiber optics.  

 

The Type M-1 Sphinx Workpod is a light industrial manipulator with room for two.  Powered by one micro-fusion reactor, four Alfinium Krellide power storage cells and four RCS thrusters, the Sphinx Workpod is used mainly as an Engineering shuttle to repair anything on the outside of the ship.
