My pre enterprise ship

[Lord Borg]

Im gonna make thsi post letting people know that i have (er well tried) created a preenterprise ship. I had all sorts of details sorted out and then i read the rek time line so i had to tweak som things, mostly the time period (i had it from deciding anywheres from 2070 to 2101. After reading the timline and finding out the year the SS Valinat (from the tos ep where no man has gone before) left the SOl and the galaxy it seems. The reason for these changes is because I wanted to have the ships missions mainly to check you the Sol system with human eyes on a human ship. Sor the time period is now like 2064-65 or somthing I'll have to double check. I'll post the actuall info later.

[Lord Borg]

this is not compleat, as it says it needs to be messed around with to get it cannonish. also the crew lsit/positions are not complete.


Explorer EB 01

First and foremost: It appears that lots of tweaking will have to be done in order to get this to star trek cannon

(This is a basic layout o be fined tuned over time, and to serve as a layout for the Physical Design of the ship. This ship is/will have existed before Star Trek: Enterprise and After First Contact. In other words no earlier 2064-65 and no later than 2070 i.e. the only place humans live is still only earth, perhaps the moon) (this also confers with the known timeline. Some further research/ adjustments may be needed)

The EB Class: A new class of ship that was the start of normal installation/use of warp technology on human starships. It is armed with 2 laser emitters and one missile tube (may change soon, how ever missile and lasers are what the ship uses as its suggested that early armed human ships were lasers and missiles. There is a crew compliment of 20 maybe 26 at the absolute most but 20 is what I think suits the time period. The ship is only 3 decks, and because of its small size deck one does not only consist of the bridge, and the last deck, 3 will mostly be a storage area. No replicaters of any kind obviously. Nor transporters also as it appear that they did not exist until the designing era of the NX class ships. There will need to a cook, and a quarter master/ black smith. In other words a handful of the 20 or so people on the ship will not actually be in active service in �Starfleet� (Note: Starfleet is in quotes as I am not to sure if Starfleet existed always perhaps Earth Space Command or something to that line (ESC was used in the original series, however it was only once and the storyline was changed so it was and always have been at official formation: Starfleet) I was thinking perhaps some sort of bar was in the Mess Hall, something for drinks to be served in/at. Although I know that the following specifications will have to be adjusted I want to try and leave it as close as possible. I was thinking the overall ship design will be a mixture/half shape of Enterprise and the famous D# classes (i.e., the DY etc�) there are also other vessels from the Enterprise NX-01 era that could be used in the design with the D# classes. Now on to the thing this whole paper is all about: deck specifications. Once again I want to state: This is not final although it is to a degree, but can change to allow for the design and needed systems. More or less if a needed system is obviously missing and it�s known for sure that it has been there in all of human warp exploration then it needs to be added. There are some things that will be discussed later as in what�s there and what�s not (shields for instance) {also, exact room by room shapes, contents etc will be determined later} The Captain will be the only one with a personal bedroom everyone else shares. As always the middle of the ship is the biggest well, to a degree this can be which there is as a curve of some kind will need to happen for the sleekness or what ever it�s called to be done.

Begin Layout:
Deck One: Bridge, Briefing Room, Captain�s Ready Room, Captains Quarters, Crew Quarters
Deck Two: Sick Bay, Engineering, Deflector Control, Mess Hall, Quarter Master/Blacksmith, Waist/Water Management, Missile Room
Deck Three: Food Storage Bay, Cargo Bay (POD Bay?)
End Deck Layout:
There is at most warp 1.5 maybe 2, I�m thinking there�s a �Buckle Down� moment when the ship enterer�s warp as the appropriate Dampers may not be invented or perfected yet. (Remember the Warp Jump in ST: First Contact? They had to buckle down in the Phoenix to go to warp [yes yes I know there was the whole taking off from earth as a rocket thing but still they physically reacted to the warp jump]) If this is being read and the deck layout is not perfected it will be ASAP. If this is not perfected any suggestions are welcomed, however if things go right then the only time humans have been past Mars with Warp is on a Vulcan ship, so the food and cargo areas need to be big, i.e., pretty much being deck 3. But I imagine that can be �tweaked� and there is only one turbo lift, perhaps stairs of some kind, however these will not in one strait line go from top to bottom. In other words, the one some wares on deck one will only go down to deck two. The same with one on deck two to deck three. The Crew Quarters are a room of 4 beds so along with the Captain�s Quarters that�s 5 or 6. It is time for the missile room. This room will in a sort be a large room. There will be stored missiles along with the launcher and room for people to move around as the missile will have to be loaded by crewman.

Crew Ranks/Jobs:

Rank: Captain
Position: Captain

Rank: Commander
Position: First Officer/Chief Science Officer

Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Position: Second Officer/ Chief Engineer

Rank: Lieutenant
Position: Tactical/ Chief Security

ok, Ive been researching and studying. major changes need to be made. I feel i can sue the same layout for the deck layout. the year will be 2064-65 so this ship will be in sevice before the S.S. Valiant (TOS: Where no man has gone before) was luanched although that may be wrong now not by the events in enterprise but the events in first contact. it appears that the valiant events happend starting somthing like 4 years after first contact. if 2063 is the first warp jump, the it seems like that for several years humans will not be out of the sol system on terran ships.

[Lord Borg]

Also, Ive tweaked the name I think it will be:

ISAS (International Space Agency Ship) Exploror 01

or more like

Exloror ISAS 01

[cmward15]

wow.. chris

[lionhead]

nicely thought out Lord Borg


Is it prior too the ship you see in the beginning theme of ST:ENT (the one just before the enterprise) or is it the actual one?

Its a shame you are not so sure about your facts yet. If i might, i don't think the first, small explorer ship of the humans had any weapons . I mean, they didn't even think they would need much weapons for the Enterprise NX-01.
Just a thought

[Voy_Girl]

I'm interested; will this information be incorporated into a story?

[Lord Borg]

the weapons may be a good thought. it is a story im trying to do. If i get things together, someday I may try to do an RPG on it. The story Titled Star trek: Explorer ISAS 01 is the story. I'm gonna say this is before that ship seen in the ENT theme as this one is incorperated into services a little over a year after first contact. Anymore sugguestions? they are welcomed
