USS ARES NCC-63731

HOME   CREW MANIFEST   APPLY   SHIP SPECS   GALLERY

The second vessel authorized by the Perimeter Defense Directive, the Steamrunner class of light frigates borrowed numerous design specifications from its larger Akira Class cousins, altering and improving certain elements to fit the smaller frigate ship type. Quick and maneuverable, Steamrunner Class vessels have served with distinction in every recent Federation conflict. Designed for a fairly specific group of mission profiles, including perimeter actions, long range threat response, and covert operations, the Steamrunner Class (Like the Akira Class) also borrows heavily from technologies and design specifications developed for the Defiant Project. These include a less vulnerable nacelle configuration, ship components that can be jettisoned in the heat of battle, and a reduced area of active sensor coverage. The year is 2384, the Dominion War has been over for nearly eight years. Despite massive losses to the fleet during the war, Starfleet has once again resumed its mission of exploration, first contact, and emergency aid & relief. The USS Ares sits on the forefront of this effort as a member of the 20th Fleet.

The USS Ares is a Star Trek based sim run by The United Space Federation. We meet at 10:30PM EST in chat room Orbital VelocityAOL/AIM.
