DESCRIPTION AND NOTES
The Adamantine-class has a flattened teardrop hull shape and looks very similar to be the saucer section from an Intrepid or Prometheus. The hull is smooth with aesthetically pleasing curves, providing excellent atmospheric capability.
The phaser arrays run in strips completely encircling the hull, configured to give maximum coverage. The main torpedo launcher is mounted in a turret assembly underneath the nose and the pulse array is mounted at the base of the turret with one barrel either side.
Currently a class on one, the NX-83214 USS Paladin is a testbed for a number of features, including embedded warp nacelles, Anti-Torpedo Phasers and Type XII Pulse Phasers. Originally intended to mount Metaphasic shields generators the design had to revert to standard Class 6 systems, albeit with immersion capability upgrading, due to severe reliability problems.
Current testing reveals the Paladin is frighteningly capable combatant, with manoeuvrability similar to the Defiant-class plus far superior speed and firepower. During trials with the Prometheus, the Paladin is the only ship that has fought the MVAM prototype to a standstill.
DEVELOPER'S NOTES
I came up with the Anti-Torpedo Phasers because it's always bugged me watching the shows that they never try to shoot the d*mn things down even though it should be very easy with energy weapons. I must admit they are rather number-crunched since I chose the puny Type I phaser as the basis simply because any hit destroys a torpedo. (See page 143, second column, fourth paragraph)
As a further guide to what the hull looks like: think of a B-2 Stealth Bomber without the wings but more... well... pointy. I originally had an Energy Sheath fitted but I removed it since I wanted to have more upgrade capacity available.
Pure munch, but sometimes that can be fun too!
Oops! That should be 19 SU per Type I Anti-Torpedo Phaser Array, not 38.
I think the total SU is still correct though, but it's 02:10 in the morning & I'm too tired to add it all up again. I need sleep!!! SD should carry a health warning!
Not to pick any nits, but if this is the prototype ship of the class, shouldn't the class be named for it? That is, AFAIK, the tradition... So this should either be the Paladin-class, or the USS Adamantine.
Good point BJ. Is that the case for Starfleet? I know the Royal Navy doesn't follow that pattern, but the USN does so it depends upon whether SF rigorously follows thet latter's naming standards.
Hmmm, was there ever an actual USS Danube or USS Galaxy? I only have the RPG material to go by & a quick flick through doesn't list those ships. Although the first ship of every other class seems to use the class name.
