Any Idea Why Star fleet wouldn't want at least one Heavy "BattleShip" something that could go toe to toe with the Borg and be much more likely to survive. heres my Idea for something I call the U.S.S Spartan
A secret division of Starfleet is tasked with creating the Spartan Class Starship. The Spartan Class ship although physically slightly larger than the Galaxy class ships were named for their less accommodating construction. The Spartans are a Ship built for battle. Their Decks are significantly closer together therefore allowing more space to be utilized for ships systems. The design of the ship will be feature 4 nacelle sections (each containing 2 separate nacelles as in the Prometheus class. The Spartan Class will not be built to be able to separate the saucer section as the Galaxy and previous classes. The increased number of Nacelles would allow its engines to take more damage and still be able to maintain warp travel.
The skin of the ship will be covered with layered quantum reactive and ablative armor. The new Quantum Reactive Amour will feature phase and quantum sensitive multi-phasic charges that can, in many cases detect torpedoes with phase or temporal emitters that previously penetrated shields and the skin of the ship to detonate inside it. These chares will be placed over the Ablative armor in above key systems
The Ships shields will be feature 40 900 MW regenerative shield emitters designed to allow continuous output of a matter Antimatter Reactor. In Battle situations one of the ships 2 reactors can supply shields allowing for a yield roughly 3 times that of the sovereign class while still being able to accommodate all other ships functions including warp drive.
The Spartan class will feature 2 of General Electric’s type 8 matter anti matter reactors allowing one to be used exclusively for warp speed travel. They can be cross connected to supply power to any system in the ship but will normally be subdivided into the Drive and ships systems (shields, Weapons, Sensors) reactors. This will allow all ships systems to run at full capacity even while the ship is traveling at maximum warp of 9.9 (Up to 12 hours) the ship will have a normal cruising speed of Warp 8.5
The impulse engines of the Spartan Class will be similar to that of the sovereign class. The Spartan Class will not be as fast or Maneuverable as the Sovereign class but will still have a power to weight ratio considered excessive by previous standards with one of the engines alone being capable of driving the ship at .20c and having an upper ceiling .6c with all three engines.
The primary armament of the Spartan class will be located on each side of the saucer section in the form of 4 (Port / Stbd forward Port / Stbd Aft turret loaded quantum / transphasic torpedo system) The firing rate of the turret launchers will be roughly 3 times that of the launchers on the Defiant class with a slightly higher load and yield than those on the Sovereign class. There will also be a swivel mounted quantum torpedo Launcher forward and Aft. The maximum Load out of the Spartan Class ship will be 1200 Quantum or TransPhasic Torpedoes The Phaser system on the sovereign class will feature 16 type XII Phaser arrays and one forward faced much larger unit that will have approximately triple the output of the type XII, these phasers will typically draw their power directly from the secondary matter antimatter reactor.
The most notable feature on the Spartan Class will be the inclusion of a Cloaking system. Readouts from Shinzon’s vessel during its Encounter with the Enterprise E were used to create a nearly perfect cloaking device that will help the Spartan accomplish its primary mission. With The power shift of the Romulan empire and the increasing need for a tactical advantage with the Borg a modification to the treaty allowed for up to 10 federation ships to be outfitted with cloaking devices.
The primary mission of the Spartan class will be to approach Borg ships and perform detailed scans and plot weaknesses of different classes of ships and then disable these vessels and capture any technology possible. Specifically Star Fleet endeavors to capture graviton torpedoes for the sake of developing a compliment and more effective defense against them.
