After determining the losses sustained at the end of the Dominion Wars, Starfleet began to put its scientific endeavors on hold, while focusing its attention on more militaristic roles. Starfleet’s Military R & D began to study technology brought home with the USS Voyager less than a year ago. The new Ablative Armor Generators and Transphasic torpedoes were some of the most valuable pieces of hard wear they had ever seen. Unfortunately the Federation Council believed that these technologies were too good and would upset the balance of power in the quadrant. It wasn’t until the Reman uprising on Romulus and the threat of a Thalaron Attack on Earth that R & D was authorized to experiment with this Technology. Two years later an Experimental Starship was released from a top secret Construction Yard near the Mutara Asteroid field.
The new ship, commissioned USS Alexandria, was the first of the Alexandria Class ships soon to be released. She is of course fitted with Ablative Armor generators and Transphasic torpedoes, but she is also fitted with a new type of Phaser array which manipulates subspace, allowing it to pass through shields and vaporize the armor beneath. Subspace weapons are of course banned by the Khitomer Accords but with strengthening relations with the Klingon Empire and threats continuing to emerge from the Romulan Empire, the Khitomer accords were disbanded and permission was given to Starfleet by Chancellor Martok. So far the Alexandria NX-81985 is the only prototype. The Cleopatra is soon to follow after the Alexandria’s shakedown cruise.
The design is clearly a kitbash of several other ships like the Akira, Nova and Dominion Battleship. But only the basic shape of the vessel is what I was looking for, because let’s face it; my ability to draw isn’t that great. If anyone here wants to make this (pretty please
) the Nacelles, and Hull textures can be changed to whatever anyone wants to change them too. The outer Nacelles are bent downward like the Akira’s are supposed to be with the inner smaller ones just kinda attached under the wings. Instead of having the arms or pillars attaching to the top of the Saucer like the Akira is supposed to be, they are attached to the bottom. I can clear anything else up if you wish to ask, that is if someone wishes to make it (pretty please with sugar on top
).
