U.S.S. BISMARCK NCC-1108B
ENGINEERING - DECKS 10 & 11

Main Engineering, located on Decks 10 and 11, serves as the master control centre for the ship's warp/impulse propulsion systems and other engineering systems. In the case of emergencies main Engineering can also serve as a backup control centre in the event of a failure of the Main Bridge. Below, you will notice a map of the Engineering showing you the different posts and the information on the Intrepid Class starship. Below that, are some features of the Intrepid Class that make it unique from the rest of the ships in Starfleet. One being, that the Intrepid is the only ship that can enter the atmosphere and land on a planet. Also, it is the first class to implement bio-neural circuitry over isolinear chip computer interface. This makes accessing the computer much faster.

U.S.S. BISMARCK - GENERAL EXTERIOR VIEW

ENHANCED WARP NACELLE SYSTEM

The Intrepid Class starships employ a folding warp nacelle system, making their warp drive more efficient and safe than previous warp drive systems. In the mid 2370's it was dicovered that warp drive pollutes the space-time continum. The folding nacelles avoid damaging the continum, and so can exceed the Warp 5 speed limit imposed by the Federation. The U.S.S. Bismarck, as well as other Intrepid Class vessels can reach a top speed of Warp 9.975 for sustainable periods making it one of the fastest ships in the galaxy.

VARIABLE GEOMETRY WARP NACELLES

Intrepid class starships employ a folding wind-and-nacelle configuration that no longer have a negative impact on subspace. Incorporating a device called a quantum charge reversal device, or anti-matter generator, provides the power necessary to run the warp eninges. The anti-matter reaction is "tuned" through the dilithium chamber containing a theta-matrix compositing system which is used to recrystallize "used" dilithium.

IMPULSE ENGINES

The impulse drive is powered by a series of fusion reactors located in both aft wings on Deck 11. Another set of fusion reactors provides auxiallary power to keep systems operational when both the warp drive and impulse reactors are off-line. The impulse fusion reactors are fueled by frozen hydrogen, also called deuterium. The main driver assembly consists of two YPS 8020fusion drive motors equipped with subspace driver accelerators. Acceleratorfield output is rated at 190 millicochranes at 10,200,000 K. Maximum rated velocity is 0.90c, Normal impulse operations are restricted to 0.25c due to relativistic considerations.

WARP CORE

The primary warpcore is located on decks six through twelve in Main Engineering. As powerful as the main engines on board the Intrepid class starship, the Bismarck can produce warp fields of equal magnitude, without the need for a variable nacelle configuration. This is possible because of the relatively thin profile of the Bismarck allowing for greater Z-axis warp field compression. This has the benefit of creating a very stable warp field at a lower power level than other current starship designs.

The Intrepid Class has a 6th phase dilithium controlled matter/antimatter reactor providing primary systems power. Sustainable field output is rated to exceed 1,256 cochranes with a peak transitional surge reserve exceeding 4,634% of nominal output. (165 ns phase)

Sustainable cruise velocity of warp factor 8.5 Emergency warp factor 9.75 for significant sustainable periods.

REACTION CONTROLL THRUSTERS

There are 24 Reaction Control Thrusters (18 for normal flight operations, 6 specifically used in atmospheric flight mode) that are strategically located along the hull to provide low velocity attitude and transitional control. Primary RCS operations entail station keeping, three-axis stabilization, and spacedock maneuvering.

Each thruster is equipped with a supply of deuterium, as well as a refill connection tothe main deuterium storage tank located on decks five and six. The reaction control thrusters are rated at a maximum 5.5 million newtons thrust, with an expected operational life of 400,000 firings.

BIO-NEURAL CIRCUITRY

The Bio-Neural Circuitry is an integral part of the Voyager's computer core. It consists of bio-neural gelpacks, replacing some of the traditional circuitry. The gelpacks are packets of bioneural cells. These help to organize information more efficiently, as well as speed up response time. The Intrepid-class typically carries 96 replacement gelpacks.

LANDING TECHNOLOGY

The Bismarck has the capability to land on a planet, something that no starships, not even USS Enterprise, have been able to do before. There is landing gear at the bottom of the ship, and the Primary Hull is held up by a low-intensity tractor beam.

AEROWING SHUTTLE

The bottom of the Primary Hull, or saucer, holds a single aerodynamic shuttle capable of atmospheric travel as well as interplanetary flight at speeds up to Warp 3. The AeroWing can carry various combinations of crew and cargo; the usual flight complement numbers four crewmembers.
