Eternal-class Temporal multi-mission Science Vessel 2 of 3, 31st century vessels
The Eternal class is a Federation starship class, designed as a temporal multi-mission science vessel and is in Starfleet service in the 31st century. It is the less combat-oriented counterpart to the Ouroboros-class temporal raider. Equipped with cutting-edge scientific technology, the Eternal class is designed to fulfill different roles in the field. Built to operate alone on the frontier or as part of a fleet, the Eternal is considered a versatile part of 31st-century Starfleet. Alongside the Ouroboros-class raider, the Eternal class saw action in the Temporal Cold War.

Medical facilities (13) +5 <80>
CMO 5/6 per 4/5 emk 3
LMH (MKVII) <30> has access to entire vessel
(as a MKIV [+2 empathy, +2 to each skill] for programming/advanced program stabilization allows for programs to run for an average of 7500 hours without maintenance, has access to entire vessel)
*state-of-the-art 31st century medical facility's
*1 holosuite reserved for rehabilitation purposes for sick bay
main Sickbay is a large facility, equipped with the latest medical hardware available. The facility is split between a corridor. One side is the treatment ward, containing the CMO's office, the main treatment area with ten surgical suites, and 20 biobeds, two intensive-care wards, a standard medical laboratory, a nursery, a null-grav therapy ward, a morgue, and a dental care office. Attached to the treatment room is a Biohazard isolation suite, containing 5 individual bio-bed chambers allowing for quarantine of infectious patients.
The other half is outpatient care, and is equipped with 5 surgical suite's and a medical synthesis lab. This room also contains the Chief Nurse's office. There is also the Specialized Medical Science Lab attached to the Med Bay.
In the event that a Eternity-class starship must take on large numbers of patients, such as in an evacuation, the shuttlebay and recreational decks can be converted to triage centers to augment the main sickbay
In addition to the Sickbay, several mini-stations are situated throughout the ship for immediate treatment for minor injuries or other, more serious injuries such as burns.

*coaxial drive has been perfected
PIS (type K) 96hrs <22>
*unlike vessels of previous periods, these vessels have a self perpetuating power source and so never run out of fuel. The vessels coaxial warp and QSS drive is governed by the PIS, once reached (vessel has traveled at their coaxial warp maximum or in QSS for 96 hours) they have to shut down the drive for 1hr and 'cool' down, after for 1hr they are able to continue. However the standard warp speed (warp 9.9999) is not governed by the PIS, and theoretically the vessel can travel at warp 9.9999 for 5 years (it has never been tested in a practical sense, but computer simulations show this to be true)
*warp speed 20ly/53min, or approximately .377ly/min using primary drive
*capable of travelling 86,400ly transwarp (QSSD) in 96hrs
*capable of travelling 17,280ly transwarp (coaxial) in 96hrs
The Eternal-class vessel has 2 distinct FTL drives, the primary drive is utilized most of the time, the secondary drive is used if the primary drive is not functioning
Impulse Engine (3) hyper class VIII .98c [72pwr/engine] <150>
*vessel use perfected Hyper impulse engine, they are capable of travelling at near light speed without the problems of time dilation. Integrated into each impulse engine is a sophisticated time-dilatation device, which projects a field around the vessel that counteracts any time dilatation effects caused by travelling at near the speed of light. Antimatter fuel additives increase power output significantly.

The Power Core of the ship is the latest in cutting edge Federation technology, which utilizes Zero Point Energy (Quantum Induction Cores) and produces prodigious power levels. There is also a Temporal core included in addition to the QIC in the vessels design, which powers all the temporal technology on-board. These temporal core's isolates the vessel from normal space/time, Biological life forms on-board do not age, and the Temporal cores also prevent conventional directed energy weapons and Torpedoes from damaging the vessel. 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.
available power 3565
The Quantum Induction Core are the standard Power Core of all Federation vessels as of the 31st century and are capable of producing large quantities of power. The QIC works on the concept of Zero-Point Energy (henceforth called ZPE), or the potential energy that occupies the space of the universe itself. A Quantum Induction is self-sustaining, using the energy it taps into to perpetuate itself. The induction, however, requires an initial matter/antimatter reaction to start.
The heart of the QIC comprises of two components: An eleven-dimensional special fold membrane, and a benamyte crystal, a derivative of dilithium. When the membrane is energized, it has a tendency to adhere to the benamyte crystal, and so does the ZPE that travels out of the membrane. As long as the crystal isn't damaged, the membrane is rendered inert, and the reaction is contained. A simple forcefield is required around the center of the core to contain harmful radiation.
The crystal and membrane stand suspended between two subspace field attenuator coils (for safety redundancy), which control how much energy is released from the induction. Beyond the attenuator coils are magnetic constrictors, used in channeling a matter/antimatter reaction into the Benamyte crystal, providing the initial reaction needed to begin quantum induction.
Eight ZPE taps are located within the containment forcefield, and draw out energy for conversion into useful high-energy plasma. This plasma has a uniform quantum flux state, which is the one major requirement for quantum slipstream drives that a conventional matter/antimatter reactor can't fulfill.
In the event that the spatial membrane spontaneously closes up, the Quantum Induction Core can be rearranged into a conventional M/A reactor so that the ship can return to a place where it can get a new membrane. Spontaneous closure has happened only once before in the prototype QIC made at Jupiter Research Station, much to the chagrin of the engineers testing the core.
