Wells-class Timeship (2886) (also known as a Polarity class)
I have long wanted to do this write up, the Wells Class, a 29th century Federation Timeship. I tried to stay true to the write up in All Our Yesterdays page 99 but had to make some adjustments to transfer over to Space Dock. I will make notes as I go to explain my thinking. I relied on Omega's 25th century star ship advancement notes as well.
The Wells-class (also known as the Polarity-class in All Our Yesterdays) vessel is a general purpose time ship used to study, prevent, and/or correct temporal anomalies, alteration to the timeline/history, and so forth. While they cannot travel trough time itself, they come equipped with a temporal transporter, chronal communications system, and chronal sensors which allow them to scan the timeline and transport people to and from various points in time.
One of the most famous vessels of the class was the USS-Relativity. The USS Relativity (NCV-474439-G) was a 29th century Federation Wells-class starship operated by Starfleet. This timeship was commissioned at the University of Copernicus, and was under the command of Captain Braxton. It had dealings with USS Voyager

Bridge <25>
*AI processor Avatar <5>
The AI’s are the crew’s liaison with the ships computers and the sensor information that is processed by the AI’s analytical processors. This allows the AI to provide the crew with them most pertinent information that they need in real time. The ships AI is inherently loyal to the ship’s captain and the crew above all (though they are mandated to work with in Federation law). An AI has its own personality that is its own. Most of the AI chooses their own appearance and that could be whatever the AI decides it to be.
Has access to the entire vessel.

It may seem unusual for such a vessel to be equipped with a cloaking device, but as a dedicated temporal/science vessel it was determined that many situations would require the vessels to have such a device. So they can accomplish their primary mission the Wells-class are equipped with the most advanced science systems available as of the 29th century.
While these vessels aren't designed for combat, they are well equipped to handle most tactical situations. Vessels from early periods would find themselves completely outmatched by a Wells-class.
All primary holo-programs (LMH, LEH Avatar) have a mobile emitter available to them, allowing off-vessel travel.
