U.S.S. TITAN CONCEPT NOTES
The Ship:
U.S.S. Titan,NCC-80102, Luna-class. The Titanis a mid-size Starfleet vessel, approximately 450 meters in length (larger than the U.S.S. Voyager,smaller than the Enterprise-D; go to www.startrekbooks.com/titancontestto see size comparison), with a crew complement of 350. Titan’s hull configuration is comparable to other established Starfleet vessels.
The Luna-class is Starfleet’s newest-generation long-range explorer, a starship notbuilt specifically for combat, but like the Constitution-class of the previous century, a vessel designed for a long-term multipurpose mission into un-charted space. Equipped with conventional tactical systems (deflector shields; phasers; quantum torpedoes), Titanalso boasts state-of-the-art propulsion and cutting-edge scientific equipment, as well as being a testbed for experimental science tech not yet available on other classes.
