DESCRIPTION AND NOTES
The Spatha-class Strike Frigate has been designed with one purpose in mind: the capability of launching a massive torpedo volley in a single burst. At standard power, with all battle systems ready, the Spatha can launch no less than 36 torpedoes from it's forward launchers and if the reserve and emergency power systems are brought into play an additional 6 can be fired simultaneously from the aft launcher. The design is a result of collaboration between the Intrepid and Norway classes and like both the designs includes a high degree of automation and system redundancy. The saucer is somewhat broader than that on the Intrepid, but is otherwise of the same style and sits directly on top of the engineering hull so that the navigation deflector is directly below the bow of the saucer. Only about a quarter of the engineering hull extends beyond the read of the saucer and it flares outwards towards the stern to hold the main and backup impulse engines, the wing-like pylons extend forwards and downwards from the rear dorsal of the engineering hull so that the warp nacelles actually extend underneath the saucer. This nacelle arrangment means that the ventral phaser array cannot be mounted on the saucer and instead encircles the belly of the engineering hull, even so the nacelles restrict it's field of fire purely to the ventral area without the capability of firing above the centreline as is becoming more common in modern designs. Originally intended to mount twin pulse phasers in the bow the third and latter Spathas are instead fitted with a Type XII array that is mounted moustache-like just above the navigational deflector, this arrangement further enhances the design's warp combat capability due to the use of ACB jacketing on the array, a capability reinforced by the use of the same system on the otherwise standard dorsal saucer array. One slight flaw of the design is the relatively weaker aft weaponry consisting of just a 120-emitter Type X array squeezed in in an arc between the two impulse engines with the aft torpedo launcher mounted just above the peak of the arc and the shuttlebay doors just below. Shuttle pilots have already complained about the somewhat difficult approach required to land on a Spatha, particularly without tractor beam support, and ASDB are investigating alternative configurations.
DEVELOPER'S NOTES
Appearance wise, try and imagine a wider Intrepid saucer mounted on top of a Boeing X-32 style engineering hull with a nav deflector instead of a air intake, smaller wings and no tail controls. I originally designed this as a size 7 Strike Cruiser, but decided to see if I could shrink it down to size 6. Plus it is a bit munchy. Mmmmm, munchy.
