USS Voden Heavy Cruiser
I want to preface this design with a few comments to set the stage so to speak.
As some of you know, I run what I call a parallel universe game that is quite significantly different from canon and some places even LUG trek. Its background is based a fair amount on the FASA timeline of events and more then a dozen campaigns with twice that number of mini-campaigns.
For anyone familiar with the FASA-Universe, you know that it is far more militant in nature and has far more conflict then protrayed in the various TV series. To add to that has been a number of conflicts played out in my various series under the FASA rules including the development of what occurred between the end of the TOS movies and the beginning of TNG.
The Voden-class was originally designed for a FASA game set in 2372 by a fellow-GM that wanted to run a game in my universe. So I must tip my hat and give credit to Mike McPherson and Geoff Grens for the originally designing and building the model that led to the creation of the Voden and Mike McPherson for developing and running the campaign itself though due to real life, the campaign never reached a conclusion. This campaign also ran nearly concurrent with my Challenger game.
It was only a short time later that LUG put out there version of Trek. Preferring the system, I switched but did not desire to lose all the Universe's history so I kept it though the universe itself has felt a heavy influence of LUG ideas and materials, it still remains a far more conflicted universe with a somewhat more militant Starfleet exists and a number of additional Borg incursions have occurred.
Recently I returned to Trek gaming, having been inspired to take my universe in a new arc but since I have several new players, I decided to expose them to LUG trek through a number of one-shots and minis that will tie up loose ends in my campaign universe.
One of these strands is the Voden campaign, so I present to you her converted Spacedock stats in preparation for the upcoming scenarios. All I ask is that you bear in mind, the universe she was designed for because that universe is far more deadly then what has been seen in canon.
