Obscure, background ships of the day

[Meteo]

And now the first vessel, the Wedge stardrived, hard to see ship in STIII:

Clarion Class Heavy Cruiser

Introduced: 2226
Size: 360 meters in length, 136 in width, 20 decks

Hull Index: (Constitution is 14) 12

Cruising Speed: Warp 5
Maximum Speed: Warp 6

Type 1 Deflector Shields, Normal/Maximum Strength, 35 Gigawatts/40 Gigawatts

2 f, 2 fp, and 2 fs, Type 4 laser cannons, Output, 5 Gigawatts

Two forward Accelerator Cannons, Rate of Fire: 1 per 6 seconds

plus 60 Accelerator Missiles, Yield 46 Megatons

1 Hangar Deck

History:

A heavily used Heavy Cruiser, before the development of the Constitution Class, these Vessels fell out of general use in the 2250s, although a few remained in service until the 2290s, conducting minor missions. The class was an expansion on the older Valiant Class Light Cruiser hull.

Noteworthy Vessels:

U.S.S Clarion, NCC-1604, Prototype
U.S.S Bull Run, NCC-1609, Destroyed a Klingon Squadron in 2255, due to the genius tactics of it's captain, Jackson Helson, although it later disappeared soon after
U.S.S Essex, NCC-1697, served many purposes until it's decommissioning in 2290

[The Tatterdemalion King]

Dude, we need more operations details.

[Meteo]

Which?

[The Tatterdemalion King]

Operations systems, tractor beams (number/strength), sensors, resilience/power of SIF/IDF, deflector power, long-term operational capacity, passenger capacity (along with what living conditions are like), storage, support craft, industrial capacity, examples of ships and how they functioned in various stressful situations.

et cetera.

[Meteo]

Okay. The existing ships will be revised.
