While the original Bajoran hardware was adequate for short distance combat twenty years ago, Victoria's needs for extreme maneuverabilty and performance required the removal of the original propulsion system and the majority of the other Bajoran components as necessary to upgrade many of the old systems. The revitalization project was handled completely by Lt Keely Lah'rel. The project began with the gutting of the vessel, removing almost everything within the spaceframe to leave an empty shell. Lt Keely utilized surplus parts and systems from one Type 8 Shuttle and three Type 6 Shuttles. In the aft section that would have normally housed the inefficient Coanda-cycle chemical/air-ram system, Lt Keely Lah'rel installed a micro-warp core and impulse drive taken from a surplus Type 6 shuttle components. Lt Keely fitted the Type 6 warp nacelle elements within the undercarraige of the vessel and replaced the weaponry, computer, RCS, SIF and IDF accordingly. Due to the adequate design and lack of availability of alternate Starfleet surplus components to fit within the small spaceframe, the vessels original life support system, helm control and communications systems were reinstalled and enhanced with a Type 6 computer core.

Lt Keely also added new components that fold the atmospheric wings upwards which enables the vessel to land and be stored in relatively tight spaces. | ||
