| Notes |
| The SOLAR-class Command Cruiser is the latest cruiser design to come from SFEngineering, and was a personal project of Admiral Hathaway. Based on the OLYMPIC-class Cruisers, the SOLAR-class is designed to be to be a multi-mission ship, much like its predecessor. Unlike the OLYMPIC-class, however, the SOLAR-class is quite capable of leading major combat operations. The weapons and shielding systems have been upgraded, and a third warp nacelle has been added to provide sufficiently fast warp-travel. The SOLAR-class carries enhanced computer cores that allow the ship to coordinate major fleet movements including starships, shuttlecraft flight groups, and other craft. |
| The Primary-hull incorporates the many changes. The most striking addition is of a third warp nacelle, mounted directly on the saucer. Whereas the Saucer-section of an OLYMPIC-class cruiser was incapable of warp flight, the SOLAR-class saucer *is* capable of warp speed. This makes it a much more valuable evacuation vehicle. In the event of evacuation to the Primary hull, an OLYMPIC, often working many hundreds of lightyears from Federation space, could be stranded for months before a rescue ship arrived. In contrast, the SOLAR-class saucer can easily return to Federation space on its own power. The single warpdrive can propel the Saucer at speeds of up to Warp 7, and slightly higher speeds if absolutely necessary. |
| The SOLAR-class saucer section mounts *two* photon torpedoes -- the traditional aft launcher that is concealed while the ship is in dual-flight mode. The second launcher is a forward mounted tube that can fire photon or flux torpedoes when operating in dual or seperate flight mode. |
| This class of ship carries the new FD-12e "Carapace" deflector shields. These enhanced screens are some 20% more powerful than the shields on the OLYMPIC-class vessel. The saucer section also incorporates 6 more decks than the OLYMPIC-class. |
| The secondary-hull maintains most aspects of the OLYMPIC-class, with the exception that a fourth, dummy warp-nacelle is added astern to stabilize the warp-field geometry. |
| The warp nacelles each mount the new Pulse Phaser cannon. These weapons operate by firing repeated "pulses" of phased energy at a target. These high-powered packets impact sequentially on the same part of a target's shield. With each impact comes a "dimpling" of the shield; before the shield can regenerate, it is struck by another pulse and then another. This attack functions to penetrate the shield bubble and strike the hull before conventional weapons can. |
| The SOLAR-class has 4 cavernous landing bays that carry many smaller craft including runabouts, shuttlepods, etc, and two marine dropships to assist in the deployment of the 300 marines that are carried on the SOLAR-class cruiser. |
| The other major difference is the addition of Flux Torpedoes to the vessel. Rather than scrapping the old launchers, a software upgrade was provided to the fire-control computers, and modifications made to the photon launchers to accomodate the larger Flux torpedoes. These torpedoes are essentially photon torpedoes with a dramatically higher energy flux, thereby increasing the explosive power. |
