The Pompeii
Destroyer Line is a take off on the Saladin class Destroyer introduced in the
early half of the 23rd century. It deletes the neck section and adds a
second warp nacelle. The nacelles themselves are attached to the underside
of the primary hull, moving all essential propulsion systems into the saucer and
cutting the crew compliment in half. The Pompeii is equipped with standard
defenses, made up of 6 Type VI Phaser Banks, 2 2nd class Photon Torpedo
Launchers and a standard deflector shield system. After the introduction
of the Constitution class Cruiser and Miranda Class Frigate, Starfleet achieved
what it called a "Class One Triad", whereas Destroyers, Cruisers and
Frigates became the mainstay of the Fleet. The USS Pompeii was the
flagship of Vice Admiral Vaughn Rittenhouse when he engineered a coup against
the Federation Council in 2267. The Pompeii was and all hands aboard
killed when the vessel colided with the Federation class Dreadnought Star
Empire, which was a key part of the coup. The Pompeii Destroyer Line
served with notable distinction before being decomissioned in 2292 after 62
years of faithful service to Starfleet. The Mars and Pontiac remain active
as front line training vessels homeported at Starbase One, Earth.
