Temporal Starships

TEMPORAL STARSHIPS

In designing the next adventure we needed a vessel that was a temporal weapons platform that could be fought. In doing so I picked a vessel from the STAR TREK The Expanded Universe “All Our Yesterdays” the Time Travel Sourcebook and back engineered a temporal warship. I like the Wells-class I created years ago but it is a slapped together job that does not look right but has its own style of looks.

Following the Krenim Temporal Warship are the notes for expanding the Spacedock on creating a Temporal ships. Although this ship is not exactly as the one depicted on page 102 and 103 of the STAR TREK The Expanded Universe “All Our Yesterdays” the Time Travel Sourcebook.

Later when we decide on the final version of what starship we will have I will post it for you.

Description and Notes
Temporal Warp Core & Temporal Incursion cannon
The ships primary weapon is a weapon powered by a temporal warp core in which keeps the ship out of phase with normal space-time. This temporal warp core will keep the crew from ageing.
A temporal warp core costs 20 extra SU’s beyond what a normal warp core costs because of its nature.
This Temporal weapon and warp core prevent conventional directed energy weapons and Torpedoes from damaging it. Only weapon systems that share a temporal weapon signature or have been modified to detonate in a certain temporal frequency can cause damage to the ship.
The Temporal weapon can fire erasing the vessel from the face of the existence of all time.

Chronometric Sensors
The Chronometric Sensors work similar to that of normal Lateral sensor with the Exception of the Gain package provided here below and that the power requirement is 10 power per round.

Gain Package SU Test Result Bonus
Standard 0 +0
Class Alpha 3 +1
Class Beta 6 +2
Class Gamma 12 +3

Class Epsilon 48 +5

Chroniton torpedo
The Chroniton torpedo ignores conventional shielding penetrating to the hull of the ship. The detonation damaging the vessel severely if the damage is nears a vital area.

I thought the temporal warp core to be more massive (if you take a look at the ship depicted in Voy. I must be pretty big I would just add two thirds worth of the original Cost for the warp core again for the Temporal modifications to the Warp core

just my two cents ;)

I don't think the SU's truely give the stat's a idea of it's size. I could have easily generated a penalty of 50 or 100 SU's but 20 sounded fair. Yet for a small ship the size of a small shuttle 50 or 100 would be too unfair. The only other option I had was to make the Temporal Warp Core Size related such as 10 x size costing 110 additional SU's for the core and a shuttle size two would have only a 20. The note I have been generation are not complete. Let me know what you think.

I think it would be the best Solution to use the latter one.
A Massive ship like the Krenim Behemoth has certainly enough SU's available, so spending additional 110 SU's to make a temporal Warp core is a fairly good trade off for the benefits it reaps, and you can have smaller ships equipped with these devices.
It in handling this with a size related rule you take care of the issue of why should the equipment for a temporal Core cost only 20 SU's for all Ship sizes.

I'll make the changes to the design when I get time. The 20 SU's was a throw back to the old version of the Wells-class I created. This version was not a design I've posted. Although this was one of my fist designs I still like it the best of any I've done.

Temporal Starships Spacedock
There have been several Temporal starships through out the Star trek series. In the latest series of Star Trek RPG we are playing the needs a starship. Using the Star Trek The Expanded Universe “All our Yesterdays” the Time Travel Sourcebook to back engineer the starships. These are not official Spacedock or using the converting back to the Basic system in a reverse page 175 of Spacedock. Instead of dividing down multiplying up works to give the ruff outline of the vessel while filling in the gaps with standard Spacedock notes. The vessels are close to being what they need to be for the adventure before adjustments.

Hull Resistance
The nature of a temporal starship precludes the need of a heavy hull resistance time ships. Some of the Temporal ships from Star Trek The Expanded Universe “All our Yesterdays” the Time Travel Sourcebook have rather low hull resistance making them fragile. Where other have heavier hull resistance than that of conventional 24th century starships.

Temporal Transporters
Temporal transporters are generated the same the one’s found in the Spacedock. Generally there are at least one of these transporters per ship.
Federation Temporal Fleet has at least one use to send temporal operatives through to different time periods to deal with temporal incidents.

Chronometric Sensors
Most all ships that can travel through time need to have sensors to detect any object in the time path that they would be traveling through. Few ships have the powerful sensors to see the movement of time and its out comes. Most twenty-fourth century starships would have sensors that can only detect an active temporal distortion or the residual elements of the distortion with the standard sensors, but with Chronometric Sensors the more information than that the normal sensors would. The Chronometric Sensors can detect even the precursors to the temporal distortions. Range of the Chronometric sensors cost one SU per light year with the first light year being free, with a range of no more than that of the Long range sensor systems.
To power the Chronometric Sensors need twice the power than the standard sensors. The increase of sensor power to increase the range and power of the detection.
Chronometric Sensors sensors have a difficulty for jamming by simple devices such as food replicators as they have to be shielded with a dampening field.

Subatomic Disruptors or Advanced Phaser Arrays
Chronotron Disruptor/Subatomic Disruptor is a powerful weapon capable disintegrating all atomic bonds between matters. The weapon costs 2 SU’s per 10damage. Power works out the same as the Phaser and disruptors.

Temporal Warp Core
A temporal warp core costs 10 x size in SU’s in addition to the normal the SU’s cost for the Warp Core. (A vessel may have a conventional warp core and may have need for a second warp core. A second warp core could be a non-temporal warp core to power the temporal weapons and defenses systems.

This Temporal weapon and warp core prevent conventional directed energy weapons and Torpedoes from damaging it. Only weapon systems that share a temporal weapon signature or have been modified to detonate in a certain temporal frequency can cause damage to the ship.

Temporal Warp Drive
Su’s Cost: +10 to Standard nacelle selection
Power 1 power/.1 warp factor

A temporal warp drive takes the ship outside time and space allowing the ship to travel suspended in time and space. Normal dangers would be only a minor risk to the class of starship.

Temporal Transwarp Drive
Su’s Cost: 16 x size
Power Cost: (16 x size) power per round

Used by some alien species to travel at high warp speeds and through time forward and back ward through time. While traveling is handled much like that of standard Transwarp drive.

Time Travel with Temporal Warp Drive
Time travel methods listed above is handled much the same as that as each light year is equal to that of a year. So a vessel equipped with a temporal warp nacelle Type 6D would have a max time travel of 9.6 years per round. This would take 23 hours to travel twenty years in time, where as a Temporal Transwarp Drive would take only 69 minutes to travel the same time period.

Temporal Embedded Nacelles
Most of the standard vessels have Embedded nacelles constructed the same as that for a conventional starship.

Temporal Rift Generator (or Tachyon field Generator (Star Trek Voyager Endgame))
SU Cost: 5 x size for the generator
Power Cost: 40 power (optional: 20 power +1 power per 10 years of rift travel)

Designed much like that of a Navigational Deflector but works much like that of an artificial tunnel through space only a few thousand kilometers long that bridges across a few hundred years. A ship travels at one quarters impulse can cross the distance to the other side and allow the rift to collapse and seal itself.

Where other versions would need a deflector pulse or Modulated Photon Torpedo to collapse the rift. To modulate the Photon Torpedo or arrange the deflector pulse takes a difficulty check of 10. A standard Photon Torpedo detonated in the rift or on the edge of the rift could cause a premature collapse of one end. A vessel traveling through a rift when the rift is collapsed the vessel is virtually crushed by the rift. A jump to warp with a high difficulty risk of catching the edge of the rift.

Example: The Starship Indiana chasseing a Temporal Starship fires a photon torpedo missing the temporal ship and striking the edge of the rift causing a slowed collapse of the rift. The Indiana calculates the risk of crashing into the rifts edges as they begin to touch. The Indiana’s Captain’s has two orders the vessel to maximum impulse to avoid the edge of the rift and catch the time ship or all reverse. Either requires a difficulty check of 10.

The risk to the ship either way is great. The Indiana could catch the edge of the rift as it collapses or not slowing fast enough and slamming into the edge of the collapsed rift destroying the ship. Either way the ship is like an egg dropped on the floor.

Notes: The standard Navigational Deflector can be modified to work as a Temporal rift Generator and open a rift once. The Deflector will burn out and needs to be repaired over 72 hours with a difficulty check of 9. The standard Navigational Deflector takes twice as long to open a rift and create a temporal rift large enough to enter.

Temporal Shields
The temporal shields cost an additional 1 x size much like the regular shields are made up. The shield for conventional weapons is next to invulnerable to the weapon unless the weapons are modified with a difficulty of 8 to the modification. Temporal Shields cost 2 power per 10 protection. The shields act as normal shields when in combat against temporal weapons.

Crews
Temporal ships have reduced crews equal to that of a 24th century Federation Science Ship. This is do to that temporal starships are highly automated vessels. This way they require few crew to maintain the ship.

Chroniton torpedo
The Chroniton torpedo ignores conventional shielding penetrating to the hull of the ship. The detonation damaging the vessel severely if the damage is nears a vital area. A typical Chroniton torpedo does 300 Damage on impact with a ships hull.

I'm still working on the vessel that we will be using in our up coming game. We haven't figured out what it will be like. So far it will be large than the Hawkeye-class. http://forum.trek-rpg.net/showthread...hlight=Hawkeye This will be the final fight of this starship.

I've come up with some addendums to the Temporal Rift Generator.

The Indiana calculates the risk of crashing into the rifts edges as they begin to touch. The Indiana’s Captain’s has two orders the vessel to maximum impulse to avoid the edge of the rift and catch the time ship or all reverse. Either requires a difficulty check of 10.

The risk to the ship either way is great. The Indiana could catch the edge of the rift as it collapses or not slowing fast enough and slamming into the edge of the collapsed rift destroying the ship. Either way the ship is like an egg dropped on the floor.

Notes: The standard Navigational Deflector can be modified to work as a Temporal rift Generator and open a rift once. The Deflector will burn out and needs to be repaired over 72 hours with a difficulty check of 9. The standard Navigational Deflector takes twice as long to open a rift and create a temporal rift large enough to enter.

---

The Temporal Rift Generators work much like that of a Navigational Deflector for range and use. The generation of a rift opens a rift one in size per round. An Intrepid-class would take six rounds and a galaxy would take eight to create a rift large enough for a starship.

To collapse a Rift with a deflector pulse generated with a navigational dish would collapse the rift in half the time it took to open the rift to have it collapse. Any ship caught in the center of the collapsing would easily be destroyed, as the rift is 1,000,000 kilometers in length.

Any ship within 30,000 kilometers of the rifts opening receives 10 x the size of the rift that is being opened in Su's damage starting with the hull and shield generators.

Although the Temporal Rift is unstable the tunnel sides are hard as any metal or energy barrier that could be encountered. Scraping the hull of a ship causes 1 of damage to the resistance of the part of the hull scrapped. The Temporal Rift's tunnel wall moves in an ungulates mass shifting position from round to round increasing navigational difficulty.

Designed much like that of a Navigational Deflector but works much like that of an artificial tunnel through space only a few thousand kilometers long that bridges across a few hundred years.

I have probably missed something but is their any sure way to travel back in time to a exact date?
Travelling via temporal rift appears to me a matter of exact energy measurement.
If so would you have the the Science officer and the Chief engineer make some tests to determine the exact time and date?
(With heavy penalties if they use a standard navigational deflector)

The engineer wwould make a difficulty check of 9 when he adjusts the Nav deflector, the science officer would make a check on his calculations and the helms officer would make a check on navagating the rift.

This is a lot of checking but can't make time travel like driving down to the seven-elleven on the corner.

I thought it would be more difficult as there is something at stake i would make at least one of them to spend a courage point as well.

Only Spock gets to have time travel seem to be easy;) ;) And even he should have some problems too

Increase the difficulty if you want I set a level that would be a challenge but not a major hinderance to the characters adventure.

As a note the first time this rule was used the three failed their first attempt to use these in my similations.

I was thinking along the lines of the more "demanding" Maneuvers in Spacedock that require to expend a courage Point before even trying.

Time travel is a dangerous and potentially lethal enterprise, nothing to be attempted every day.

Unless your name is James T. Kirk... 19 separate violations, the man was a Menace!

I'm going to add my vote to "Costs a Courage Point"

Dave (my co-game master) and I Don't make things all too impossible but more realistic as the luck is in the getting it done. Courage, Fate, Force or any other for the games we’ve mastered over the years were just not used. Everyone who participates in our games accepted our point of view.

A few times they could have saved a character while other times that character is destined to be what they are.

It’s not as if we haven’t used them but not as much as other groups we are in contact with do. It’s just the way we do our thing.

Here's the Time ship that I said that we were using. I didn't want to post it until the adventure was over. It's alien crew were snaching up early earth Space craft see http://forum.trek-rpg.net/showthread.php?t=14008 as it has the ships in it.

This vessel is based on a larger version of a Galaxy-class warship with a heavier guns. It out gunned the Hawkeye-class easily. http://forum.trek-rpg.net/showthread...hlight=Hawkeye
