Armstrong class: Difference between revisions

{{SF Ship Types}}

Developed in the late 22nd century to continue, with the ''Venture'' Class Light Cruiser, the exploration missions of the rapidly aging ''[[Daedalus Class|Daedalus]]'' Class Explorer, the ''Armstrong'' class Cruiser drew on many of the elements of the ''Daedalus'' for its own design. Like that ship, its main section was a spherical hull, though its sphere was far more ovoid that that of its predecessor. The sphere attached directly to the forward dorsal section of a cylindrical Engineering hull. Mounted on the sphere were a Magnusson-class laser, a rocket launcher, and a wide variety of sensor palletes. Unlike the ''Daedalus'', the ''Armstrong'' came equipped with transporters, that technology having finally been adapted for starship use a decade before the class's launch.
