SHIP'S SYSTEMS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some candidates may not have detailed information concerning the theory
|
|||
|
|
and operation of Constitution class starships. Since basic knowledge of
|
|||
|
|
these systems is required for participation in this scenario, a brief
|
|||
|
|
rundown of equipment structure and capabilities is included. (Excerpted
|
|||
|
|
from Jane's Fighting Starships, vol. 1, Federation Star Fleet Vessels:
|
|||
|
|
revised edition. By kind permission of the publisher, Jane Interstellar

|
ENGINES
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Propulsion is by controlled matter-antimatter reaction. Total
|
|||
|
|
annihilation of both substances takes place within magnetic bottle.
|
|||
|
|
Maximum speed: Warp Factor 8; cruising speed: Warp Factor 4; maximum
|
|||
|
|
safe cruising speed: Warp Factor 6. If Warp Factor 6 is maintained for
|
|||
|
|
more than twenty-four hours at a time, the magnetic bottle containing
|
|||
|
|
the matter-antimatter reaction erodes dangerously and becomes
|
|||
|
|
un-regenerable because of magnetization of the generating equipment.
|
|||
|
|
Damage to the dilithium crystals is also likely, especially if the
|
|||
|
|
crystals have seen more than 3000 hours of service. Failure of dilithium
|
|||
|
|
crystals (which help channel power to the warp engines from the
|
|||
|
|
matter-antimatter reactors in the nacelles) will force the ship to drop
|
|||
|
|
out of warp. The ship may proceed on impulse power until repairs are
|
|||
|
|
effected (usually eight hours).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Destruction of all of the ship's dilithium crystals will force the ship
|
|||
|
|
to proceed to a planet where they can be obtained through mining or
|
|||
|
|
trade. However, just getting to such a planet is likely to take anywhere
|
|||
|
|
from several months to several years. Captains who burn out all of
|
|||
|
|
their ships' dilithium crystals are rarely entrusted with another
|
|||
|
|
starship command.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Matter for the matter-antimatter reaction is usually interstellar
|
|||
|
|
hydrogen, NH, or other radicals that are "scooped" out of space by the
|
|||
|
|
accretion layer of the ship's warp field. Antimatter is manufactured
|
|||
|
|
periodically aboard ship by accepted laboratory methods (each nacelle
|
|||
|
|
has a collapsed-matter-target linear accelerator adapted for use as an
|
|||
|
|
antiparticle "breeder"). Fuel is therefore a regenerable resource.
|
|||
|
|
However, there are places in space where even monatomic hydrogen is so
|
|||
|
|
sparse that the ship will be in danger of running out of "steam."
|
|||
|
|
Sensors can be used to locate these interstellar doldrums in advance.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Primary life support is powered by the warp engine system. Secondary
|
|||
|
|
life support is powered by the impulse engines. Periods longer than
|
|||
|
|
thirty days on impulse will exhaust secondary life support, leaving the
|
|||
|
|
ship without backup.
|
|||

|
|||

|
|||
|
|
PHASERS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Phasers come in two kinds: the large "ship's phaser" and the small
|
|||
|
|
"handphaser." A "phaser beam" is hypercoherent radiation from an
|
|||
|
|
artificially grown cesium-dilithium crystal LED that is energized by
|
|||
|
|
ganged conventional high-power laser (descendants of the "satellite
|
|||
|
|
killers" of old). The multiple lasers and the crystal are manufactured
|
|||
|
|
and tuned to emit a "chord" of frequencies only a few
|
|||
|
|
hundred-thousandths of an angstrom apart. The multiple beams
|
|||
|
|
exponentially augment one another's effeciency and are still more
|
|||
|
|
coherent than any conventional laser alone while they remain in phase
|
|||
|
|
(hence the name). Phasers are independently powered out of the ship's
|
|||
|
|
secondary energy supply (as opposed to those on the newly designed
|
|||
|
|
Enterprise, which are powered directly out of the warp engines). When a
|
|||
|
|
starship is in warp, the phaser beams (at firing) shares its
|
|||
|
|
faster-than-light (FTL) acceleration for a brief period after punching
|
|||
|
|
out of the warp field. Therefore, they can be used in FTL battle, but
|
|||
|
|
over long distances they quickly lose their FTL speed. Phasers can be
|
|||
|
|
"burned out" by excessive use (bombardments of more than five minutes
|
|||
|
|
without a rest-and-recycling period). Their most common malfunction --
|
|||
|
|
also related to overuse (which often occurs after approximately three
|
|||
|
|
minutes of constant use) -- is failure of one of the ganged lasers. This
|
|||
|
|
causes the phaser chord to lose effectiveness. Full power is not always
|
|||
|
|
necessary. A captain may call for half- or quarter-power.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ship's phasers are the most effective way to reduce another ship's
|
|||
|
|
defensive screening. A sequence of three hits (sustained barrages
|
|||
|
|
lasting from 3 to 10 seconds each) at full power on another ship's
|
|||
|
|
screens will begin overloading those screens and reducing their
|
|||
|
|
effectiveness. Subsequent hits knock the target's screen down another 10
|
|||
|
|
percent to 15 percent for each hit until there is no power left and the
|
|||
|
|
target ship's naked hull is exposed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Enterprise's phaser "banks" are located both fore and aft. The fore bank
|
|||
|
|
is located under the main "disk" hull, near the center; the aft bank, on
|
|||
|
|
the rear edge of the disk, above the impulse engines. Both banks are
|
|||
|
|
aimable within about a 270-degree spherical radius, leaving very few
|
|||
|
|
unprotected angles. (But there are a few.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Handphasers are small versions of the large ship's phasers. Setting
|
|||
|
|
range from "stun" to "kill." The stun setting will leave the average
|
|||
|
|
human being unconscious for anywhere from ten minutes to an hour,
|
|||
|
|
depending on the victim's physical condition. A handphaser on the
|
|||
|
|
highest setting is capable of heating a small boulder red-hot in a
|
|||
|
|
matter of seconds or melting through a metal door. Handphasers are good
|
|||
|
|
for about twenty minutes' continuous use before needing recharge. They
|
|||
|
|
are rechargeable either aboard ship or, in the field, by use of extra
|
|||
|
|
power packs (which contain about fifteen minutes' power each).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Handphasers have the same tendencies to burn out or lose chord as the
|
|||
|
|
big ship's phasers do. They can be set to intentionally overload and
|
|||
|
|
explode. Some alien species (for example, Hortas) are not affected by
|
|||
|
|
handphaser fire unless special alterations have been made to the weapon.
|
|||
|
|
They have small limited-range warp-field generators that enable them to
|
|||
|
|
be used against objects traveling faster than the speed of light.

PHOTON TORPEDOES
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A photon torpedo is a simple, elegant, and effective weapon comprised of
|
|||
|
|
a very small amount of antimatter contained in a magnetic bottle and the
|
|||
|
|
generating apparatus to maintain the bottle. On command, the bottle
|
|||
|
|
degenerates, which brings the antimatter into contact with the
|
|||
|
|
generator's matter and produces a tremendous explosion of both standard
|
|||
|
|
shock waves and extremely hard radiation. Photon torpedoes can be fired
|
|||
|
|
directly at a nearby object to explode on contact with it, or they can
|
|||
|
|
be set with delayed fuses and ejected as mines.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Photon torpedo "tubes" must be recharged after each use, both by
|
|||
|
|
reloading the tubes with new torpedo apparatus and equipping the torps
|
|||
|
|
with fresh antimatter from ship's breeder. The process takes from thirty
|
|||
|
|
seconds to a minute after a "full spread" has been fired.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Enterprise is equipped to fire photon torpedoes from both front and
|
|||
|
|
rear: each bank is comprised of four aimable tubes. A "full spread" is
|
|||
|
|
eight torpedoes, one from each tube: front, back, right front, right
|
|||
|
|
rear, left front, left rear, upper center, lower center. Simultaneous
|
|||
|
|
fire from all four tubes pointing in a given direction may be
|
|||
|
|
concentrated on one point.

TRACTOR BEAMS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Tractor beams are actually "grasers": coherent beams of gravity-wave
|
|||
|
|
packets. A tractor beam locks onto a given object

|||
