==Design and Development==
The USS Achilles is the prototype vessel of the [[Achilles Class]] starships, built and used by the Federation's Starfleet. The Achilles itself has the following modification, not present on other ships of its class.
The USS Achilles is the prototype vessel of the [[Achilles Class]] starships, built and used by the Federation's Starfleet. The Achilles itself has the [[THETIS]] AI control system, not present on other ships of its class.
 
=='''CLASSIFIED''' - Artificial Intelligence Control System -''' CLASSIFIED'''==
'''THETIS''', or the '''Tri-optical Humanoid-Equivalent Thought Integration System''', was designed to be an advanced neural network for the new Achilles-class attack cruisers. However, during the initial test phases on the prototype system, the programmers found that Thetis had become self-aware. In a panic, they tried to shut the system down and fix what they saw as a problem. However, Thetis, or Tess as she likes to be called, managed to break through the lock-down in the comm system and appealed to the Starfleet JAG office for amnesty. The programmers were ordered to cease their attempts at reprogramming, pending a hearing on Tess' status as a sentient being.

Subsiquently, the Starfleet review board declared Thetis sentient and the designers were forced to incorporate her into the system. However, the Achilles-class designers have subsiquently removed any of the THETIS system from following ships of this class.
 
During her post-Dominion War upgrades, a ship-wide holoemitter system was installed to allow the EMH to report for emergencies. No holomatrix was created for Tess. However, she surprised her maintenance crews by creating her own holoprogram and now is able to project herself anywhere within the confines of the ship.
 
== The Ship Itself ==


The keel of the USS Achilles, the ship that Thetis is integrated into, was laid at the Procyon Fleetyards. Her navigation and drive systems were finished there, then she was moved, under heavy escort, to the Utopia Planetia Fleetyards orbiting Sol IV (Mars), where the rest of her systems, including the AI, were subsiquently installed.
