Sphere Builders War, Battle of Procyon V 2554ce
USS Typhoon NCC 99782
Stormbringer class MVAM Deep Space Tactical BattleCruiser/Carrier
*built for deep space tactical operations rather than exploration like the Universe-class., the Stormbringer is of a similar size to the Universe but specifically designed to utilize the Multi-Vector-Assault-Mode.
*Launch date of class 2549ce, NX-Stormbringer launched successfully and completed a one year shakedown cruise prompting StarFleet to commision many more Stormbringers, by 2552ce three vessels had been launched.
The Stormbringer-class is the pinnacle of deep space tactical starship design and is capable of any type of deep space tactical mission and is intended for military or quasi-military uses rather than exploration like the Universe.
Primarily designed to function as a battlecruiser, through these vessels are equipped with enough secondary systems to expand mission profiles to encompass almost any type of deep space mission. So as they can also act as a carrier they are outfitted with massive flight decks. These flight decks house large numbers of the Wolverine-class Heavy Space Interception Fighter. Further supplementing the Stormbringer is a large complement of shuttles, shuttle pods, work bee's and Runabouts.
Designed from the outset as a MVAM capable vessel the Stormbringer is capable of separating into three distinct sub vessels, a 'saucer/merged engineering section, an upper engineering sub vessel and a lower engineering sub vessel. To utilize its full firepower and to be able to bring to bear all of its weapon systems it uses its Multi-Vector-Assault-Mode. The Stormbringer-class is designed as the Federations frontline of defense and are used as first responders and are premier Perimeter Defense Directive vessels. These ships are very versatile, though they are designed with a relatively specific set of tactical mission profiles in mind. These mission profiles include perimeter patrol and defense, long-range threat response, covert and scouting operations, and combat support.
The greatest advantage the Stormbringer has is its vast redundancy. This level of redundancy makes these vessels extremely durable. All of its major systems are built in triplicate, and almost all other systems have multiple redundancies, and if one system fails due to damage another can take over with little to no loss in efficiency. This level of redundancy is required because of the combat orientation of the class and is granted because of the expanded MVAM requirements. This redundancy grants the class extreme combat durability.
Elongated arrowing saucer section, with merged engineering hull, with embedded dual variable geometry nacelles.
Upper and Lower sections consist of the standard dual variable geometry nacelle attached to a hull the same length as the saucers engineering hull. The engineering hull is split 40% (sauser sections or 'main' section) and each of the upper and lower sections are 30%.
Warp Nacelle set up
The Stormbringer-class has a sextet nacelle configuration. The vessel has four exterior nacelles and 2 embedded nacelles. Usually only four nacelles are utilized when the vessel is travelling through space attached, and when separated each subsection uses their dual nacelles as usual. Computer modelling suggest that the vessel, while attached, could traverse space using only two of the 6 nacelles available. If required the saucers embedded nacelles can be used, which would bring all six nacelles online.
As of 2560ce there are 10 vessels of this class in operation. The name system is currently themed on some sort of storm type.

Wave Man, the term "wave man" is the English translation of 'Ronin' (Japanese word) and literately translates to "wandering person" and in a modern context a WaveMan is one who is socially adrift or a SalaryMan who is between employers.
