SCARY SHIPS: PART 1
The history of the Star Fleet Universe includes many things that are terrifying, horrifying, or just plain scary. Not among the least of these are a number of ships found in the files of Star Fleet Intelligence and the Galactic Intelligence Agency. Indeed, we found so many scary ships in the file that it was impossible to pick between them, and we were forced to use two issues (SFT40 and SFT41) to cover them all.
(R3.J5) KLINGON D77 BULLET CRUISER: Legend has it that the Klingon Galactic Bureau actually managed to convince the Federation’s Galactic Intelligence Agency that this ship existed. As the SSD shows, this variant of the D7 has an extra pair of engines mounted on wings extending up from the main hull. This provided more firepower (four extra disruptors) not to mention more raw power for movement, reinforcing shields, electronic warfare, etc. (this ship can move speed 31 while normally arming and firing all weapons, or 24 overloading). Presumably the boom would have required some revisions to clear the firing arcs for the upper disruptors, and note the change to the arcs for the waist phasers.
Other data: Same as D7 except Year in Service Y174, Docking Points 9, Explosion Strength 31, Notes CJ.

The history of the Star Fleet Universe includes many things that are terrifying, horrifying, or just plain scary.

Indeed, we found so many scary ships in the file that it was impossible to pick between them, and we were forced to use two issues (SFT40 and SFT41) to cover them all.
(R2.J5) FEDERATION CLOSE ASSAULT CRUISER (CAC): The USS Carronade was an actual design proposal that floated around Star Fleet Command for years after the phaser-G was deployed. The idea was that the ship, based on an NCL hull, would be able to close with an opponent to point-blank range and then wreck it. It was believed that even an Orion enforcer with all its power in reinforcement would not be able to resist such an attack.
To aid in closing on the target, the design had a specially strengthened forward shield. Shuttle capacity was reduced in exchange for both a larger APR deck and battery system. The APRs were needed to enable the ship to recharge its weapons quickly while maintaining maximum possible speed. The battery system was designed to allow the ship to instantly reverse its EW status when it fired. The ship retained the type-G drone rack of the basic NCL design to allow it to launch ECM drones in self-defense, and for additional drone defense to save the phaser-Gs for an offensive killing strike.
The basic attack doctrine was that the ship, with phaser capacitors fully charged, would pursue a target while using maximum ECM and erratic maneuvers, dropping erratic maneuvers and reversing its EW status at the point of firing. If possible, the ship was to be supported by a scout for additional ECM and ECCM (and possible O-ECM to the target ship).
Studies indicated that the ship, once identified by an enemy fleet, rapidly became the centerpiece of enemy fire-control solutions and was not viable. It did, however, make the rounds of the Academy’s simulation systems and provided more than one prospective captain and cadet with an exceedingly unpleasant surprise when they neglected to engage their science stations.
Other Data: No spare shuttle, Year in Service Y174, Docking Points 6, Explosion Strength 20, Command Rating 6, Notes CJ.
Based on a somewhat different proposal by Chuck Strong.
Fed and Emp Data: 10-7/2-4 if Battle Intensity Rating is six or higher otherwise attack factor is Zero. Feds can build one ship per year beginning Fall Y174 at the cost of a CW (5 EP), but no carrier escorts can be built as new construction or conversion on a turn during which this ship is built, including as replacements (308.132). Other data (repair cost, etc.) same as NCL.
Cheesy?.....kinda...
But compared to X-ships?...nah...
