FOREWORD
This book probably really started somewhere in the late 1970’s.
Back then, I was a little tyke interested in the ‘gee whiz’ aspects
of science fiction, particularly the ships and technology shown on
Star Trek while it was in syndication. To whet my appetite even
more, my uncle was a ‘fictional technology’ fan as well and had a
large number of ‘Starship’ books, both official and not, from the
early days of Star Trek’s fandom. Needless to say, I got into them
an awful lot, much to his chagrin.
Of course, still as a little tyke, I was tracing the drawings from

Franz Joseph’s Technical Manual and making new ship designs of my
own. I didn’t know a thing about warp dynamics and all the other
details now called ‘Treknology’. I simply wanted to make a lot of
new ships and have fun drawing them.
Since that time, there’s been a number of new Star Trek television
shows, countless fan publications, role-playing games, and other
odds and ends that helped flesh out the Trek universe I grew up
with. And, naturally, there were more ships the fuel my imagination.
(Several of those ships appear here.)
So this book goes out to my uncle Mike, who was kind enough not
only to put up with my getting into his cool things all the time,
but for also encouraging me to dream and imagine, especially during
those times I needed to look forward the most.
It also goes out to both the creators of Star Trek, and the many
fans who joined into the spirit of the series and the universe it pre-
sented with their own creative works. Thank you to all of you for
filling a young boy’s dreams.

INTRODUCTION
I cannot help but recognize a certain irony in authorizing this guide. As captain of
the U.S.S. Constellation, I was very much saddened to learn that the venerable
Baton Rouge class of starship was nearing the end of its status as ‘top of the
line’. It was difficult to accept that the ships I had, to that point, served aboard
were starting to be considered ‘obsolete’. As a crewman, and maybe especially as
a captain, You will get an attachment to each vessel that you serve aboard, and
it can be just as hard leaving a ship behind as a close relative or other loved
one.
I had fought tooth and nail to continue the Baton Rouge era just a little longer,
even authorizing the rebuild of my old command to the new specifications. Of
course, Eventually, though, I had to accept that the new ships of the line were
the future of the federation. The Baton Rouge was the last of Earth’s great
ships. The Constitution would be the first of the Federation’s.
This manual serves as a basic guide to this ‘first generation’ of true Federation
starships. Along with the famous Constitution class of heavy cruiser, this guide
details other Federation workhorses which serve alongside her. Each of these ves-
sels, though given a specific fleet designation, is designed to potentially fill a
variety of roles. These are Starfleet’s workhorses, the ships that have made both
the Federation and Starfleet the respected powers that they are today.
TO those serving aboard these vessels, and those who look forward to their ser-
vice, I wish you the love for your ships that I had of mine. And I must admit to a
certain envy to those serving aboard these ‘ships of the line’. Godspeed on your
quest for the Federation’s future.

OF THE CLASS ARE MENTIONED IN DIALOG IN THE MOTION

(AS AN ASIDE, THE ‘RULES’ THAT RODENBERRY WAS CITING

WERE OF HIS OWN INVENTION, MADE CONSIDERABLY AFTER A
GOOD AMOUNT OF OFFICIAL MATERIAL WAS PUBLISHED ABOUT
STARSHIPS. TO MANY, THESE NEW ‘RULES’ SEEMED MUCH
MORE AN ATTEMPT TO TAKE BACK THE TECHNOLOGY IN

Editor’s Annotations
THE ORIGINAL COCHISE APPEARED IN THE TECHNICAL MANUAL
AS A POTENTIAL REFIT DESIGN OF THE SALADIN CLASS OF
DESTROYER, THOUGH NO ARTWORK WAS GIVEN. THERE HAVE
BEEN MANY, MANY DIFFERENT VARIATIONS ON THE SALADIN
TO MAKE THIS SHIP BY VARIOUS FAN WORKS., BUT THERE
HASN’T BEEN A SOLID CONSENSUS TO USE FOR WHAT THIS
SHIP MAY ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE.
THE DESIGN USED HERE IS ACTUALLY BASED ON A KITBASH

USED FOR DEEP SPACE NINE, THOUGH THAT SHIP WAS OF THE
MOVIE-ERA DESIGNS. THAT SHIP WAS CLEARLY A DESTROYER,
MOUNTING A MIRANDA-STYLE WEAPONS POD BETWEEN TWO
WARP ENGINES. WHILE BEING ANOTHER ‘TREK-BASH’ USED
FOR THE SERIES, THE SHIP DID MAKE SENSE AS A COCHISE
DESTROYER VARIANT.
WHAT’S PRESENTED HERE IS A 'RETRO-GRADED' SHIP BASED

ON THE SHIP DESIGN SHOWN IN DEEP SPACE NINE. THE WEAP-
ONS POD COMES FROM THE MIRANDA SHOWN IN THIS GUIDE,
AND, OF COURSE, THE OTHER COMPONENTS ARE BASED ON
THE ORIGINAL SERIES’ ENTERPRISE.
THE SHIP NAMES AND REGISTIRES ARE FROM THE STAR TREK
TECHNICAL MANUAL, USING THE BULK OF THOSE SHIPS DE-
CLARED FOR THE COCHISE VARIANT OF THE SALADIN CLASS.

FLECT A MORE CONTEMPORARY VIEW OF THE FLEET. THERE
WERE MANY SHIPS OF THIS CLASS LISTED IN THE GAME, AND
MANY MORE IN FURTHER SUPPLEMENTS, BUT THE VIEW TAKEN
HERE IS OF A MORE MODEST FIT OF TWENTY-FOUR VESSELS.
VISUALLY, THE ONLY REAL DIFFERENCES PRESENTED HERE ARE

A FEW MORE ADDED DETAILS AND TEXTURING, AND THE PRES-

WHEN THE WRATH OF KHAN CAME OUT, THERE WAS AN IM-
MEDIATE CURIOSITY ON THE PART OF MANY FANS TO IMAGINE
WHAT THE RELIANT LOOKED LIKE DURING THE ORIGINAL SERIES.
FASA, WHO HAD THE RIGHTS TO THE ROLE-PLAYING GAME AT
THE TIME, TOOK THE CONCEPT AND EVENTUALLY CAME UP
WITH THE ANTON.
AS SHE APPEARED IN FASA’S FEDERATION RECOGNITION MAN-

UAL, THE ANTON WAS AN ODD CROSS BETWEEN A 'MOVIE-
ERA' REFIT HULL, A 'SERIES-ERA' WARP DRIVE, AND A BRICK.
THE IDEA WASN'T TOO BAD, BUT THE ARTWORK JUST DIDN'T
MESH WITH WHAT WAS BEING PRESENTED. THE VERSION HERE
IS A 'CLEANED UP' VERSION, FOCUSING ON THE 'SERIES' AS-
PECTS, AS WELL AS REDOING SOME LINES TO BRING HER MORE
INTO THE SAME DESIGN ASTHETIC.
THE FASA BACK-STORY HAD THE ANTON BE DIRECTLY REFIT

TO THE RELIANT SPECIFICATIONS (MIRANDA, IN THIS CASE).
RATHER THAN GO THAT ROUTE, THIS ASSUMES THAT THE
ANTON’S DESIGN LESSONS WERE TAKEN TO HEART AND PUT
INTO THE SURYA AND MIRANDA WHEN THEY WERE COMMIS-
SIONED. THE ANTON HERSELF IS A RETIRED CLASS WHICH
WON’T SEE LIFE AFTER THE MOVIE-ERA REFITS.
CLASS I CRUISER
TAURUS CLASS STARSHIPS
CLASS name: Taurus ‘Starship’ General information

Class Designation: Cruiser, CLASS I THE TAURUS MAY JUST BE PROOF OF THE OLD ADAGE, ‘IT
Class Commission: 2252 DOESN’T HAVE TO BE PRETTY TO WORK’. DESPITE LARGELY
BEING A REARRANGEMENT OF CONSTITUTION-CLASS COMPO-
Complement (STD): NENTS, THE TAURUS SEEMS TO ELICIT MORE OF A GROAN IN
Officers: 43 SPACEDOCK RATHER THAN A SENSE OF AWE. JUDGING THIS
Crew: 212 SHIP BY ITS LOOKS, HOWEVER, ISN’T EXACTLY FAIR.
Drive system: THE SHIP IS A SOLID PERFORMER, PARTICULARLY IN A MILI-

Impulse: FID-2 (.75c) TARY PATROL ROLE. HER COMBAT CAPABILITIES MAKE HER A
WARP: FWF-1, Tandem, (WF 6/8) MATCH FOR MOST ADVERSARIES’ CRUISERS, AND SHE HAS
ENJOYED A RELATIVELY HIGH SUCCESS RATE IN CONFRON-
Armament (STD): TATIONS. MOST SHIPS OF THE CLASS ARE ASSIGNED IN DE-
Phasers: 4 banks/2 each, type FH-3 FENSE-ORIENTED TASK-FORCES,
Torpedoes: 1 bank, type FP-1

Supplemental Craft (STD): FOUND IN THE AWKWARD LAYOUT OF ENGINEERING. SEVERAL

BEING BOTH UNATTRACTIVE AND SOMEWHAT AWKWARD IN

CLASS I CRUISER
THE FOLLOWING SHIPS OF THE TAURUS CLASS CRUSIER HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED AS PART OF THE FEDERATION STAR FLEET AS

THE TAURUS NEVER ACTUALLY APPEARED ANYWHERE, EX- IN REALITY, AT LEAST AS ‘REAL’ AS THE STAR TREK UNIVERSE
CEPT AS A TECH DESCRIPTION FOR STEVE LONG’S SPACEDOC- GETS, THERE ARE PROBABLY A LOT OF AWKWARD AND UN-
DOCK. IN THAT GUIDE, THE SHIP IS DESCRIBED AS SHOWN, AESTHETIC DESIGNS OUT THERE. OF COURSE, THEY’LL NEVER
WITH AN ENGINEERING HULL STUCK BEHIND THE PRIMARY GET MUCH SCREEN TIME.
HULL, WITH WARP NACELLES COMING DOWN UNDERNEATH.
WHEN DRAWING IT, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO BALANCE OUT

ITS LOOK. THE CONNECTION BETWEEN HULLS WAS DIFFICULT,
AND THE ENGINES WOULD NEVER LOOK LESS THAN AWKWARD.
(EVEN MORE SO THAN HERE).
I HAD CONSIDERED DITCHING THE TAURUS TOGETHER, BUT IT

WAS ONE OF ONLY A FEW SHIPS FEATURED UNIQUELY TO
SPACEDOCK, A GUIDE WHICH I STRONGLY WANTED TO RECOG-
NIZE.
A PARTIAL SOLUTION WOULD COME FROM JOHN PAYNE

OF :INPAYNE STARSHIPS, AND HIS TRIUMPH CLASS. HIS KIT-
BASHED MODEL ALREADY ADDRESSED A LOT OF THE TAU-
RUS’S DESCRIPTION, THOUGH IT WASN’T THE MOST ATTRAC-
TIVE OF STARSHIPS. I DECIDED TO TAKE HIS IDEA AND APPLY IT
MORE DIRECTLY TO THE TAURUS, AND THE RESULT IS WHAT’S
SHOWN HERE.
THE TAURUS, THEN, IS BASICALLY JOHN’S TRIUMPH CLASS

WITH A ‘REGULAR’ PRIMARY HULL AND WITHOUT THE ADDI-
TIONAL WARP ENGINE ATOP IT. IT WORKS, MORE OR LESS.
CLASS I FRIGATE
LOKNAR CLASS STARSHIPS
CLASS name: Loknar General information

Complement (STD): ANS, NOT WANTING TO BE UNPREPARED AGAINST NEW

ALSO NO SECRET THAT THE ANDORIAN DEFENSE FLEET SHIPS
Drive system: WERE FALLING BEHIND THE TIMES AS WELL (THOUGH
Impulse: FID-2 (.75c) ROUGHLY EQUIVALENT TO BATON ROUGE-STYLE SHIPS), AND
WARP: FWF-1, Tandem, (WF 6/8) ANDOR THEREFORE WAS EVEN MORE EAGER TO GET AN UP-
DATED CLASS OF FRIGATE FOR THEIR OWN DEFENSE.
Armament (STD):
Phasers: 3 banks/2 each, type FH-3 THE ANDORIAN ARGUMENT WON OUT, AND THEIR INPUT BOTH
Torpedoes: 1 bank, type FP-1 IN DESIGN AND PURPOSE CREATED ONE OF THE MOST
WIDELY-ACCEPTED DESIGNS IN STARFLEET. THE LOKNAR IS A

Editor’s Annotations FASA VERSION. STAR TREK MAKES IT PRETTY CLEAR THAT
EASILY ONE OF FASA’S MOST POPULAR SHIP DESIGNS, THE DEFLECTOR DISHES WERE REQUIRED COMPONENTS OF FED-
LOKNAR WAS PRESENTED AS A CAPABLE, BATTLE-READY ERATION SHIPS. IT DOESN’T EXPLAIN WHY SOME MOVIE-ERA

BE ON A CONNIE’, THE LOKNAR WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE
GOOD SHIP THAT MOST FEDERATION OFFICERS COULD GET IF ONE ODDITY NOT LOST ON STARSHIP FANS IS THAT THE
THEY TRIED. THE CHARACTER GENERATION RULES OF THE LOKNAR LOOKS PRETTY FAMILIAR THESE DAYS AS THE INSPI-
GAME REINFORCED THIS TO A DEGREE AS WELL. MOST FED- RATION FOR THE USS AKIRA, FROM FIRST CONTACT, AND THEN
ERATION OFFICERS WOULD NEVER SEE SERVICE ABOARD A FROM THAT THE ENTERPRISE FROM STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE.
CONNIE, BUT THE LOKNAR WAS A VERY GOOD ‘CLOSE SEC- WHILE THIS HAS NEVER BEEN EXPLICITLY STATED ANYWHERE
OND’. BY THE DESIGNERS, THIS WOULDN’T BE THE FIRST TIME A
FASA-INSPIRED DESIGN WORMED ITS WAY INTO ‘CANON’
WHILE THE FASA DESIGN IS ‘OFFICIAL’, IT’S NOT ‘CANON’ IN SOMEHOW.
THAT IT NEVER APPEARS ON SCREEN ANYWHERE (UNLIKE A
FEW OTHER ODDBALL FASA DESIGNS). IT IS, HOWEVER, PROBA-
BLY ONE OF THOSE MOST RECOGNIZABLE ‘ORIGINAL TREK’
SHIPS OUT THERE, ASIDE FROM THOSE IN FRANZ JOSEPH’S
TECHNICAL MANUAL.
THE SHIPS ARE TAKEN FROM FASA’S LISTS, BUT THE REGIS-
TRIES OF THE VESSELS ARE TONED DOWN TO REFLECT A
MORE CONTEMPORARY VIEW OF THE FLEET. ORIGINALLY, OVER
120 SHIPS OF THIS CLASS WERE LISTED, BUT THE VIEW TAKEN
HERE IS OF A MORE MODEST FIT OF TWENTY VESSELS.
VISUALLY, THE ONLY REAL DIFFERENCES PRESENTED HERE ARE

A FEW MORE ADDED DETAILS AND TEXTURING, AND THE PRES-

Editor’s Annotations THE LIST OF SHIPS AND REGISTRIES HERE ARE MOSTLY BASED
TO SAY THAT THIS MATTHEW JEFFERIES’ ORIGINAL DESIGN ON WHAT'S BEEN SHOWN ON SCREEN OR CAN BE DIRECTLY
FOR THE ENTERPRISE IS LEGENDARY DOESN’T SOMEHOW SEEM INFERRED WITHOUT MAKING TOO MANY ASSUMPTIONS. A FEW
TO DO IT ENOUGH JUSTICE. CERTAINLY, EVEN 40 YEARS AFTER OF THE GAPS HAVE BEEN FILLED IN FROM VARIOUS OFFICIAL
THE ORIGINAL STAR TREK SERIES WAS WRAPPED UP, THE SHIP SOURCES, SUCH AS LICENSED ROLE-PLAYING GAMES AND
REMAINS ETCHED IN THE MINDS OF MILLIONS OF SCIENCE- TECHNICAL MANUALS, WITH THE FRANZ JOSEPH TECHNICAL

FAMOUS VESSEL, REAL OR IMAGINED, IN ALL HISTORY. GETTING THE FIRST NODS.
UNLIKE LATER STAR TREK SHOWS, HOWEVER, STAR TREK DID IF THAT WEREN’T ENOUGH, EVEN THE ACTUAL DESIGN OF THE
NOT OFFER A LOT OF DETAIL TO THE OVERALL CLASS OF THE SHIP IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH, DESPITE IT HAVING
SHIP. WE KNOW, BASICALLY, THAT THE SHIP IS A RELATIVELY BEEN SEEN FOR YEARS BY SO MANY FANS. THE ‘OFFICIAL’
RARE ‘STARSHIP’, AND TOP OF THE LINE. WE SEE A FEW OF DRAWINGS OF THE SHIP WERE OFTEN AT ODDS WITH ONE
HER SISTER SHIPS, WE ALSO HEAR ‘THERE’S ONLY TWELVE ANOTHER. THE MOST FAMOUS SCHEMATICS, FROM THE FRANZ
LIKE HER IN THE FLEET’, WHICH GETS A LITTLE PROBLEMATIC JOSEPH TECHNICAL MANUAL HAD SOME NOTABLE DISCREP-
TO DEAL WITH, ANCIES. THE ILLUSTRATION USED HERE, THOUGH, STARTS WITH
THAT VERSION OF THE DESIGN, AND RECONCILES IT A LITTLE
ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT, OVER THE YEARS, MANY SPECU- MORE WITH WHAT’S BEEN SHOWN ON SCREEN.
LATIVE WORKS, OFFICIAL OR NOT, ASSUME THAT EVERY
STARSHIP MENTIONED BY NAME, NUMBER, OR INFERENCE, OF ALL THE SHIPS IN THIS GUIDE, THIS ONE WAS PROBABLY
MUST BE A CONSTITUTION-CLASS SHIP. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE HARDEST TO ACTUALLY GET DOWN. THE EXPECTATIONS
EVERY SHIP MENTIONED ALSO MUST MATCH THE REGISTRIES ARE HIGH, AND THERE ARE MANY, MANY CONFLICTING
GIVEN ON A WALL CHART IN ONE EPISODE - A CHART WITH SOURCES OF INFORMATION ABOUT HER. HOPEFULLY, THIS EN-
NEITHER ANY SHIP NAMES OR CLASSES ON IT. THIS MAKES NO TRY SERVES AS A HAPPY MEDIUM WITH EVERYTHING THAT’S
REAL SENSE, AND HAS BEEN DITCHED. THE VIEW HERE IS THAT OUT ABOUT HER.

WITH TWO NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS.

CLASS name: Decatur ‘Starship’ General information

WARP: FWF-1, Tandem, (WF 6/8) TIONS OF HER LARGER COUSIN, THOUGH HER NON-MILITARY

THE DECATUR FIRST APPEARED AS A LONE STARSHIP IN TODD
GUENTHER’S SHIPS OF THE STARFLEET GUIDE. IT QUICKLY
BECAME A FAVORITE AMONG STAR TREK FANS AND HAS
MADE SEVERAL APPEARANCES IN OTHER WORKS, THOUGH
WITH OFTEN SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DETAILS.
THE ORIGINAL DESIGN ONLY CALLED FOR THE DECATUR HER-

SELF TO HAVE A 'SERIES-ERA' DESIGN, WITH THE REST OF THE
CLASS HAVING 'MOVIE-ERA' LINES. HERE, THE ASSUMPTION IS
THAT THE SHIP IS A BIT OF AN OLDER DESIGN WHICH GETS
REFIT AND THEN EXPANDED UPON AFTER 2271.
THE REGISTRY SCHEME GIVEN BY STARSHIP DESIGN IS LISTED

AS MUCH HIGHER THAN WHAT’S GIVEN HERE. THAT GUIDE HAS
THE DECATUR AS NCC-2501. THIS IS A BIT HARD TO RATION-
ALIZE WITH THE ‘CONSTELLATION’ AS THE LAST TMP-ERA
DESIGN LAUNCHING WITH NCC-1974, AND THE EXCELSIOR
CLASSES LARGELY TAKING OVER FROM NCC-2000 ONWARD.
THE NUMBERS GIVEN HERE ARE LOWERED TO THE NCC-1780

RANGE, KEEPING THEM A BIT TIGHTER WITH WHAT’S PRE-
SENTED IN STAR TREK, AS WELL AS HELPING HELPING OUT
THE ROLE OF THE DECATUR AS A CRUISER IN KIRK’S FLEET.

USS Durmitov - NCC 1853
THE SURYAFIRST APPEARED IN ARIDAS SOFIA’S SHIPS OF THE
STAR FLEET, THEN WOULD MAKE MANY APPEARANCES IN
OTHER FAN WORKS, AND WOULD ALSO BE ONE OF THE MOST
POPULAR OF MODEL KITS FOR THE STAR TREK ORIGINAL SE-
RIES ERA. THE REASON MAY BE OBVIOUS, IT’S AN OBVIOUS
‘RETRO-FITTING’ OF THE USS RELIANT FROM THE WRATH OF
KHAN.
THE SURYAWAS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO BE A PRECURSOR

TO THE RELIANT, AND SO THAT BACKSTORY WAS LARGELY
USED HERE. THE ONLY ADDITION IS THAT THE SURYA IS NOW A
BIT OLDER, SERVIING MORE AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE ANTON
CLASS AND WHAT WOULD BECOME THE MIRANDA CLASS.
THE SURYA, AS SHE APPEARS HERE, IS PRETTY MUCH RIGHT

OUT OF THE SHIPS OF THE STAR FLEET DIAGRAMS, WITH ONLY
A FEW DIFFERENCES IN TEXTURING IN THE ‘ENGINEERING’ SEC-
TION TO BRING HER SLIGHTLY MORE IN LINE WITH THE ANTON
AND THE EVENTUAL MIRANDA.
THE SHIP NAMES ARE TAKEN FROM ADRIAS SOFIA’S GUIDE,

THOUGH THE REGISTRIES HAVE BEEN ‘NUDGED’ A BIT CLOSER
TO THE MIRANDA CLASS. ONLY THE FIRST TEN SHIPS ARE
USED, WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE MIRANDA SUR-
PLANTED THE CLASS JUST A BIT EARLY.

MIRANDA CLASS STARSHIPS
CLASS name: Miranda ‘Starship’ General information

PRODUCTION NOTES FROM THE MOVIE LISTED THE SHIP AS A WITH OTHER MAJOR VESSLES OF THE PERIOD. OF COURSE, BY
MEMBER OF THE ‘AVENGER’ CLASS, A FACT THAT FANS TOOK THE TIME OF NEXT GENERATION, THE SHIP’S STATUS HAS
TO HEART WHEN MAKING THEIR OWN BLUEPRINTS AND OTHER BEEN RELEGATED HEAVILY TO THE BACKGROUND, SERVING
SPIN-OFF DESIGNS. MOSTLY SUPPORT ROLES EVEN IN ITS UPGRADED CONFIGURA-
TIONS.
THIS GETS COMPOUNDED BY THE FASA ROLE-PLAYING GAME,
WHICH, IN A FIT OF ORIGINALITY, SIMPLY DUBBED THE CLASS
THE ‘RELIANT CLASS’ AND HAD DONE WITH IT. SO, NOW, THERE
WERE TWO OFFICIAL NAMES FOR THE CLASS.
NOT TO MAKE THINGS SIMPLER, BUT PERHAPS BE MORE DE-

FINITIVE, THE CLASS WAS OFFICIALLY DUBBED MIRANDA IN
STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. THE ONLY PROBLEM
THERE IS THAT IT WAS DECLARED A NEW CLASS OF SHIP FOR
THE WRATH OF KHAN AS WELL. OF COURSE, THIS WOULD
MEAN THAT KHAN WOULDN’T BE FAMILIAR WITH IT, AND IT
CONFLICTS WITH THE SCRIPT AND NOVELIZATION OF THE
MOVIE, WHICH BOTH EXPLICITLY STATE THE SHIP IS AN ‘OLD
BUCKET’ BY THE TIME OF WRATH OF KHAN.
CLASS I LIGHT FRIGATE

MACKINZIE CLASS STARSHIPS
CLASS name: Mackenzie General information

Class Designation: Light Frigate, CLASS I THE MACKENZIE ENTERED SERVICE PRIMARILY AS A ‘QUICK
Class Commission: 2249 FIX’ TO THE PROBLEM OF HANDLING FREIGHT AND SUPPLIES
IN CERTAIN SECTORS OF SPACE. THE ORDER WAS FOR A
Complement (STD): ‘CHEAP FIGHTING SHIP’ THAT COULD BE DEPLOYED QUICKLY,
Officers: 25 ALMOST AS IF THE FEDERATION WAS ON A WAR FOOTING.
Crew: 85
THE MACKENZIE FULFILLED THAT ROLE, USING THE SMALLER
Drive system: HULL AND WARP ENGINES USUALLY RESERVED FOR SUPPORT
Impulse: FID-2 (.75c) SHIPS, BUT ARMED WITH PHASERS AND TORPEDOES LIKE A
WARP: FWF-1s, Tandem, (WF 5/7) LARGER SHIP. THE DOZEN ‘BULLDOGS’, AS THEY BECAME
KNOWN, WERE RUSHED INTO SERVICES WITHIN ONLY TWO
Armament (STD): YEARS.
Phasers: 3 banks/2 each, type FH-3
Torpedoes: 1 bank, type FP-1 SPARTAN, EVEN CRAMPED, THE ‘MACS’ WERE DESIGNED AS
NO-NONSENSE SHIPS, AND QUICKLY GOT A REPUTATION AS
Supplemental Craft (STD): SUCH IN AND OUT OF THE FLEET. NO ONE REALLY EVER
CLASS F shuttlecraft: 2 WANT TO SERVE ON ONE, BUT EVERYONE FELT A LITTLE
Class H Travel Pod: 2 BETTER WITH A ‘BULLDOG’ BEHIND THEM..
Dimensions: THOUGH THE ORIGINAL NEED FOR THE MACKENZIE HAS SUB-
Length: 218m SIDED AND THE CLASS ‘COMPLETED’, THEY STILL FIND SER-
Breadth: 98m VICE ON THE FRONTIER IN BOTH COMBAT AND ESCORT
Height: 52M ROLES. THE REPUTATION OF THE TENACIOUS SHIPS REMAIN
Mass (Deadweight): 98KMT SOUND, AND THEIR AGE SEEMS TO ADD MORE TO THEIR
REPUTATION AS GRIZZLED SCRAPPERS.
CLASS I FRIGATE
THE FOLLOWING SHIPS OF THE MACKINZIE CLASS FRIGATE HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED AS PART OF THE FEDERATION STAR FLEET AS
USS MacKenzie - NCC 1914* USS MacLean - NCC 1918 USS QuebeC City - NCC 1922
USS Saskatchewan-NCC 1915 USS Iroquois - NCC 1919 USS Ottawa - NCC 1923
USS Yukon - NCC 1916 USS Athabaskan - NCC 1920 USS FrederiCton - NCC 1924
USS QU’APPELLE - NCC 1917 USS Algonquin - NCC 1921 USS Winnipeg - NCC 1925
Editor’s Annotations IN THE NCC-1900S, BUT ARE REALLY PRETTY MUCH FILLER
THE MACKENZIE APPEARED IN A ‘JAYNEZ SHIPS’ ARTICLE IN BETWEEN THE LATER MIRANDAS AND THE FIRST FEW SOYUZ
STARDATE MAGAZINE. IT WAS ANOTHER ‘FASA-BASH’ MEANT CLASS SHIPS.
FOR USE WITH THAT ROLE-PLAYING GAME. IT WAS AN ORIGI-
NAL SERIES DESIGN, BUT WITH THE COMPONENTS SHOWN, IT
WOULD BE MORE SIZABLE THAN THE ENTERPRISE, AND YET IT
WOULD STILL ONLY BE A FRIGATE!
THE VERSION HERE REDRAWS A NUMBER OF THE LINES, AND

USES THE ‘SMALL COMPONENTS’ FOUND ON THE CAPELLA
AND HELLESPONT. THE SECONDARY HULL LINES REMAIN PRI-
MARILY THE SAME, BUT JUST CLEANED UP A BIT.
THE FASA BACKSTORY SIMPLY DOESN’T WORK FOR STAR

TREK OF THAT ERA, DESCRIBING A ‘MAQUIS IN REVERSE’, EF-
FECTIVELY, CUSTOM MAKING THESE SHIPS TO PROTECT THEIR
COLONIES. IT’S AN INTERESTING IDEA, BUT AS MANY TIMES AS
KIRK CONFRONTS KLINGONS IN THE YEARS, YOU WOULD THINK
THIS WOULD COME UP SOMETIME.
THE BACKSTORY GIVEN HERE IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THE SHIP

VISUALLY REMINDS ME OF A FIGHTING PUG. I CAN ALMOST SEE
THIS THING FIGHTING KLINGON AND ROMULAN SHIPS TWICE ITS
SIZE FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN IT CAN.
THE SHIP NAMES ARE TAKEN FROM THE CANADIAN

MACKENZIE CONTEMPORARY SHIPS, ALONG WITH SOME SUG-
GESTED ADDITIONS. THE REGISTRIES ARE PLACED FAIRLY HIGH

USS CONSTITUTION AND USS ENTERPRISE RETURN FROM THEIR A NEW “WEAPONS MODULE” IS DESIGNED TO HOUSE THE NEW
