Changes: Federation holoship

Revision as of 20:14, 27 September 2008

The Federation holoship was a prototype of Federation starship first launched in the mid-2370s.

History

In 2375, the holoship was employed by Admiral Doughtery and Ru'afo to secretly transport the entire 600 Ba'ku inhabitants off the Ba'ku planet without their knowledge in order to obtain the metaphasic radiation inherent in the planet's rings.

The ship was cloaked and placed at the bottom of a lake, located near the Ba'ku village. It was later detected by Starfleet personnel, unaware of its presence, due to strong neutrino emissions coming from the lake.

It was later brought back into the planet's orbit, by Lieutenant Commander Worf, where it was used to transport the command crew from the bridge of Ru'afo's flagship. This feat allowed Gallatin and Jean-Luc Picard to disable the nearby Son'a collector. (Star Trek: Insurrection)

Design

The Federation holoship's outward design was that of a rectangular vessel, containing a forward mounted bridge module, and warp nacelles set into the main body.

Built specifically to serve as a transportable holodeck used to create holographic environments to simulate the surroundings familiar to the holoship's passengers. It was also equipped with fourteen long-range transporters and a cloaking device. (([film|9}})

Background

The Federation holoship was designed by John Eaves. Early sketches of the holoship give it a registry of NX-75115, which did not seem to appear on the final model.

The holoship's cloaking device, unless legally obtained from the Romulans like the one on the USS Defiant, is probably a violation of the Treaty of Algeron (per the treaty terms established in TNG: "The Pegasus").

Apocrypha

The novel Section 31: Abyss, by David Weddle and Jeffrey Lang, establishes that the holoship was created by Section 31 for the Ba'ku incident, which the organization had engineered and had publically blamed on Dougherty. The holoship was slated for destruction by Starfleet Command after the incident became public; however, Commander Elias Vaughn and his cabal of Starfleet officers covertly working against Section 31 stole the ship and faked destruction reports, later using it to help undermine various Section 31 operations.
