USS Hoshea logistics

[Kheren]

Design by Caltern


USS Hoshea NCC-98729
Luna class, Copernicus refit

Namesake: Hebrew for "Salvation", and the original name of one of the 12 explorers Moses sent out into Canaan. Moses renamed Hoshea to Joshua. (Numbers 13:1-33) Of the 12 explorers, 10 lied about what they had seen. Only Hoshea/Joshua and Caleb reported truthfully.

Starfleet's order of 12 Copernicus-refit Luna-class vessels are each named after one of the 12 explorers.

"Copernicus-refit" refers to Copernicus Shipyards, which handled the initial redesign work, as well as the construction of several new Luna-class vessels using the new design. USS Hoshea is one of those vessels.

Dedication: "Ignorance has always been the weapon of tyrants; enlightenment the salvation of the free." - Bill Richardson

Accommodation: 359 (122 officers, 237 enlisted crew)
Classification: Deep Science and Diplomacy Explorer


Innovations:
- Automated Away-team Recon Transmitters (AART) - This compact bundle of tech is launched from the starship during away missions (or beamed). AARTs utilize cameras adapted from VISOR and Visual Acuity Transmitter technology (TNG: "Heart of Glory"), tricorder-style sensors, a basic communications system, and hover units to provide starship personnel real time views of the away team's surrounding area. This suite is monitored and operated by a new role on the Bridge: the Communications and Diplomatic Officer, and by default hovers behind the Away Team slightly above standard human eye-level.

- Bridge - Utilizing advances in full deck holography, the bridge of these Copernicus-refit Luna-class vessels are Astrometrics-enabled, complete with location-relevant zoom-to-fullscreen technology. Paired with the Simurgh Sensor System, USS Hoshea can display photorealistic, up to date holography of all stellar cartography and astrometrics data with a range of 10 light-years. (for reference, the distance between Sol and Proxima Centauri is roughly 4.25 light-years).

- Botanical Deck (Deck 6) - One half of the Biosphere project, the Botanical deck contains enough variety and quantity of plant organisms to maintain the starship's atmospheric needs for three months without assistance from the ship's environmental systems. Additionally, the Botanical Deck provides fresh produce that is used by ship's chefs to supplement (and at times supplant) the ship's food replicators.

- Oceanics Deck (Deck 7) - The other half of the Biosphere project, the Oceanics deck has fresh and saltwater tanks especially designed to replicate known M-class planetary ecosystems. The water from this deck is used throughout the ship, but especially to irrigate the Botanical deck. Federation industrial-grade filters maintain the quality of the water, which are in turn maintained by the ship's cetacean and oceanic personnel. The deck is tall enough to comfortably house dolphin and humanoid alike, and is home as well to a myriad of aquatic life that exist to maintain the balance of the ecosystem. Fish, crustaceans, kelp, and more can be found within the various tanks, separated by special aquatic airlocks and thick transparent aluminum walls. This deck also has access to purpose-built escape pods that maintain the aquatic environments they adjoin.

- Biosphere main lounge - This lounge is located in the center of the ship's saucer, rather than the forward section. It's a two deck bar and lounge with transparent aluminum views into the botany and oceanic decks. the name is a misnomer, as the room is not spherical, but disk shaped with rounded edges.

- Probert Walkway - A quiet, dimly lit ring around the widest part of the ship consisting of a walkway with several lounges. The Probert Walkway rides between decks 6 and 7, and offers crew members a chance for quiet, thoughtful contemplation.

- Exoengineering/Archeology/Anthropology Deck - one of the few lab-equipped decks in the secondary hull, this deck is where the ship's crew can safely bring aboard alien technology or artifacts. Due to the nature of these artifacts, three separate disciplines of scientists call this deck home.

- Embassy Diplomatic Sections (Decks 1-4) are provided ammenities aboard the Copernicus-type Luna-class vessel, built to suit the needs of visiting diplomatic delegations. These sections are divided into Port, Center, and Starboard, allowing USS Hoshea to play host or mediator for up to three separate cultures. The Port and Starboard Diplomatic Sections have their own banquet halls, conference theater, transporter room, security center, med bay, and secure storage facilities, and junior officers who are assigned to manage these facilities have living quarters built into that section.

- Simurgh High Energy Sensor Systems - Derived from the nebula-class USS Phoenix's sensor radome, the Simurgh HESS is capable of projecting a powerful, active long range sensor sweeps without interfering with Starfleet ships' systems. Without need for reconfiguration, the Simurgh HESS can produce real time, extremely high resolution...
 - tachyon scans capable of revealing non-Reman cloaked vessels and quantum singularities.
 - metaphasic scans also capable of revealing non-Reman cloaked vessels (and disable their cloak)
 - multiphasic scans capable of penetrating massive EM radiation fields, tracking randomized (camoflaged) emission trails, and pinpointing minute sensor criteria
 - multiphasic bioscan - as multiphasic scan, but with emphasis on biological sensor criteria.
 - magneton scan capable of revealing subspace fractures, polaric ion events, and non-corporeal phenomena
 - inverse tachyon scan capable of scanning beyond the subspace barrier. Of note, the USS Hoshea has tomographic imaging scanners as standard equipment.
 - cartographic sensor series scan: a suite of Starfleet's most accurate sensor patterns compiled for use in all general mapping and survey applications.

- Sickbays and multiple sick wards totaling 24 main biobeds and 6 isolation ward biobeds. The majority of USS Hoshea's medical facilities are consoldiated to Deck 5 (16 biobeds, 3 ioslation ward biobeds), however the two Embassy Diplomatic Sections contain 2 biobeds and one isolation ward biobed each. There is a Sickbay located on Deck 10 as well, with 4 biobeds and one isolation ward biobed.


Total Phaser Arrays ;(Type XI): 6 Saucer Section, 5+1 Secondary Hull. Since the Copernicus-refit, Luna-class vessels have the ability to saucer separate. This vessel has a total of 11 available arrays docked, 12 separated. The primary hull has a symmetrical arrangement of phaser strips, 3 each dorsal and ventral. The secondary hull has one on the ventral side of the main deflector dish (oriented port-starboard), another oriented aft-starboard along the ventral side of the secondary hull, one port side and one starboard side strip (both oriented aft-starboard just above the warp pylons), and one oriented port-starboard just above the shuttle bay on the neck. The final phaser array is near the battle bridge.

Total Torpedo Launchers: 4 - 2 fore, 2 aft. The arrangement of these are unchanged from the original Luna-class design, however these launchers have been updated to fire transphasic torpedoes in addition to quantum (standard) and photon. USS Hoshea carries a maximum of 55 torpedo casings, with the manufacturing capabilities located in the secondary hull. Typical loadout is 35 quantum torpedoes, 7 transphasic torpedoes, 7 photon torpedoes, 6 additional casings configured as probes.

PID: first tested on the USS Artemis, Personal Inertial dampener: a belt-buckle graviton emitter providing complete stability to the individual when there is failure of insufficence of the ship's inertial dampeners (you stay in your seat and on your feet when shaken). It also provides full life support for one hour even in space.

MEDICAL COMMAND CHAIR: first tested on the USS Artemis, replaces the old functionless counsellor chair to aloow ship cousellor\CMO\ambassador to handle internal and external communications (freeing the tactical officer from this duty), internal and external biosensors (assisting the science officer and monitoring crew status)and having full medical monitoring (threw internal sensors and EMH grid inside and combadges of away teams).

PEL WARNING SYSTEM: first tested on the USS Alsea, when sensors detect an incoming hazard (be it natural like an emerging anomaly or artificial like a weapons lock) they send the ship immediately into evasive and raise shields.

SYNTRON SPACE SONAR: first tested on the USS Artemis, using a tachyon pulse from the main deflector dish like the old sonar of submarines, can allow for short range deep sensor resolution even through star coronas and dense nebula, compensating for up to 80% of EM interference in a 90 degrees arc in front of the ship.

NANITE SYSTEM ENHANCEMENT: first tested on the USS Phoenix, nanites are spread through the gel pack power and computer grid to enhance the performance of systems between 5 and 20% of established specs.

SANGLIAR IMPULSE DRIVE: first tested on the USS Artemis, USS Lotus, USS Alsea, USS Spectre and USS McKenzie, this impulse engine is designed to stay fully functional even in areas of dense clogging material like nebulae or high energy output like cosmic anomalies and star coronae. The detrimental effect of those conditions is reduced by up to 75% by being a chain of small impulse systems wotking in the manner of an old car engine pistons, one firing while the previous one gets cleaned up.

NEW GENERATION TRANSPHASIC TORPEDOES: First deployed on the USS Lotus, all ships may have up to 25 of them as a basic load. They are modified to fit into the standard quantum-photon tubes.
