The class spaceframe will most often be outfitted with the Crisis and Emergency Response mission profile (STA:252) - which is assumed in the above overview.
The Norway class is constructed at Spacedock 1 (Earth), Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards (Mars) and the Shor Ka’Tel Fleet Yards (Vulcan). Normal cruise speed is warp 7 with short bursts of warp 9.7, but with tractored cargo maximum sustained speeds are lowered to warp 6.5 with short bursts of warp 9.2. For extreme cases, the Norway also has tractor beam emitters mounted above the shuttlebay that allow small cargo containers (around 10,000 metric tonnes total capacity) to be towed between the vessels warp nacelles in case internal cargo bays are insufficient. The Norway has extensive cargo bays (approximately 32,200 metric tonne capacity) with comparable cargo transporters which allow emergency supplies to be transported as quickly as possible.
Cargo Bay 2 can also be temporarily converted to type H, K, or L environments intended for non-humanoid casualties. There are also two Work Bees which can be used for space rescue operations if necessary.įor evacuation operations, the ship has the capacity to support up to 500 evacuees with conversion of the shuttlebay and cargo bays to emergency living quarters. Total transport capabilities of these craft vary due to differing classifications but an average load of 100 persons can be offloaded per hour from a standard orbit to an M Class planetary surface. The rear shuttlebay has a compliment of two Type-6 shuttlecraft kept in “ready launch” mode when on operational duty, along with at least two other shuttlecraft including a larger Type-7 loaded with emergency and rescue equipment. There are also expanded sickbay and biological science facilities to handle wounded and to research viral and bacterial infections. Configured as an Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV), the ship has extensive personnel transporters capable of transporting up to 300 persons per hour and 350 persons per hour if emergency transporters are used as well. Standard crew compliment is 190 (25 officers, 165 enlisted) with a focus on scientific investigation, medical and survival & rescue training. 1 At 364m long and massing 622,000 metric tonnes 2, it is approximately half the size of the Sovereign class but still much longer than the original Constitution class from the 2250’s. Scale 4 puts it on a par with a lot of new Federation ships, where the design focus has shifted somewhat to smaller, faster ships capable of wide-scale deployment or deployment in larger fleets of comparable ships. The warp engines are in the traditional position, mounted on pylons outside of the hull, but are also kept tight in to the hull to maintain the compact silhouette as much as possible. In appearance, the Norway class is instantly recognizable as a Federation vessel in configuration while also being a significant departure from the norms (something increasingly common in post-2370 designs).Ī compact wedge-shaped primary hull with an integrated engineering section located in the aft portion of the ship leaves few areas of vulnerability when compared to earlier designs (it is missing the typical “neck” connecting a primary and secondary hull, for example). So, what’s it like being on the crew of one of these ships, what adventures can you have and how do you handle them? Norway Class Overview Among them is the Norway Class, which was designed by the Advanced Starship Design Bureau for rapid emergency response. Besides calling it the "hand phaser", they also referred to it as "the cricket".The Star Trek Adventures: Command Division sourcebook introduced stats for new ships from Star Trek canon, many of which have either never been seen or seen only rarely on-screen.
#STAR TREK ADVENTURES FOCUSES TV#
The production staff of Star Trek: The Next Generation found that the smaller 24th century version of the small hand phaser used in TOS was far too miniaturized to be seen on TV screens, and used it very infrequently.
#STAR TREK ADVENTURES FOCUSES SERIES#
The Star Trek: The Original Series hand phaser was a small black device about the size of a communicator that could be separated from the pistol grip of a type 2 phaser.
