The '''USS Ursa Major''', NCC-830214, is the eighth [[ma:Sovereign_class|Sovereign Class]] vessel built. Laid down at [[ma:Utopia_Planitia_Fleet_Yards|Utopia Plantia]], the Ursa Major follows the over all characteristics of its sister ships. Heavily armed and armored it has 12 type XII phaser arrays as well as four rapid fire photon/quantum torpedo launchers. The FSS 3 shield system is the most advanced in Star Fleet designed to protect against [[ma:Borg|Borg]] and [[ma:Dominion|Dominion]] weapons. The shield is backed up by several centimeters of ablative armor. Improvements in warp engines allow the Ursa Major to travel at warp 9.7 for up to two days, and warp 9.9 is theoretically possible. | The '''USS Ursa Major''', NCC-830214, is the eighth [[ma:Sovereign_class|Sovereign Class]] vessel built.

Instead, Ursa Major is equipped with expanded science, diplomatic, and medical facilities emphasizing the traditional exploratory role of Starfleet. During sustained conflicts, Ursa Major would undergo a 4 to 6 month refit to add those extra weapon packages. | ||
