Cheyenne Class Ships
Ship
/ Class History:
The Cheyenne Class
of Starship is a direct
descendant of the Constellation
Class of Starship. Having been
referred to as a 24th Century
update of its predecessor, the
Cheyenne follows the design
lineage of its sister classes,
the Nebula and Galaxy and also
its cousin, the New Orleans Class
which created systems which were
later used on the Cheyenne class.
The initial project brief was for
a replacement for the now aged
Constellation class which first
entered service some sixty years
before. Starfleet Command was
estimating that all Constellation
Class ships would be
decommissioned by the late 2360's
and as such a replacement fleet
of Cheyenne class ships would
need to be ready to take over the
role of these decommissioned
ships.
The Cheyenne Class
was to be capable of heavy cargo
transportation and towing
missions on top of the normal
roles of its class (Diplomatic
and patrol functions). In
addition though the class also
needed to follow its sister
classes with the ability to
protect itself to a high standard
and also the ability to separate
into a saucer and drive section.
The Cheyenne Class employs four
warp nacelles to generate the
powerful warp field necessary for
warp speed cargo transport and
towing missions. Fed by a single
Type I MARA core the ship is
capable of extending its warp
field around an object of
approximately the same size as
itself. Using a progressive warp
generation field, the Cheyenne
class can control its warp factor
with extreme precision and hence
it makes towing vessels / large
objects much easier. In addition
the is a forced Replusor/Tractor
emitter located on its aft hull
which acts a buffer between the
object in tow and the ship.
