U.S.S. Themis

The Multi-mission Strategic Explorer program had been initiated to offer the Starfleet with a ship capable of undertaking various tasks without a need for refit. Vesta, Rademaker and Aventine Classes had all been successful on partaking long range exploration and science missions (equipped with a Chroniton Integrated Quantum Slipstream Drive), while maintaining a high combat capability with their Quantum Field Focus Controller and survivability with their Multidimensional Wave-Function Analysis Module, Sympathetic Fermion Transceiver and Focused Shield Bubble System. The Themis development project focused on a more on counter-warfare, intelligence gathering, and electronics warfare, giving the ship an advanced Viral Matrix Control, Energy degradation systems, experimental new Subsystem Targeting system and an experimental Sensor Analysis console. The development team at first felt that the yet experimental Auxiliary Dual Heavy Cannon systems should have been integrated in the build up but continuous system failures and energy surges have made that partly inevitable. A second factor for not adding the cannons was maneuverability, the development team wanted the Themis to be capable of maintaining a wide range of movement for the crew to work on disabling the enemy threat, and a straight up approach on an enemy might have been difficult for that to happen. Thus the Themis have been equipped with a a full payload of Fleet Advanced Phaser Beam Arrays and Omega Plasma Torpedo bays. For the systems the Adapted Military Assault Command Ops Technology team installed several of their systems on board giving the vessel survivability, sleekness and the capability of personal stealth and allied vessel mask energy field techniques. The Themis is an overall capable vessel to withstand in an extended combat, while making sure through the various disabling system techniques it has up her sleeve, that her allies can take down the enemy threat. On her latest refit the Themis was issued with a full squadron of Scorpion Fighter Starships, a latest addition to the Starfleet via the Federation/New Romulus alliance. Currently Fleet Engineering Corps is consulting with the crew of the U.S.S. Themis in order the ship to undergo a new refit, one that will increase her survivability and combat readiness even more.
