Specifications - DTI Herodotus
Summary
DTI-30656
Thucydides Class
The Thucydides was conceived as the Federation's first timeship in response to the rising number of temporal refugees discovered to be traveling through time by the Department of Temporal Investigations. The vessels were purposed as a compact design, packing a great deal of technology into a very small, maneuverable ship designed to travel to other time periods and recover people and items that could possibly contaminate a timeline. The Thucydides class program was initiated in 2365, not by Starfleet, but by the DTI, which maintains an extremely tight control over their use.. Most crew of the class are Starfleet personnel seconded to the DTI.

Weapons & Defensive Systems
| Shields | Auto Modulating Shields - An attempt to counter successful attacks through Starfleet shielding by the Borg and other races, auto-modulating shields are designed to immediately adapt to the characteristics of incoming fire. The system relies on advanced computational algorithms spread across the entire shield generator network. Working together, generators can monitor and analyze the smallest of variances across the entire grid and, using this information, hypothesize the correct new frequency modulation to tune the shields to. The process takes approximately 0.3 microseconds. Metaphasic Shielding - A type of shield developed in the late 2360s, this operates best when maintained as a distinct subset of normal shielding, although standard shielding can be modified to assume some related properties. It can protect vessels in the volatile and incredibly dangerous environment found within the corona of most stars, fending off intense levels of radiation and extremely high temperatures. |

| Phasers | Type VIII Phaser arrays with omnidirectional firing arch capabilities - The Type VIII is the phaser armament of choice for most of Starfleet’s small-to medium-sized ships. While varying degrees of power and capabilities can be found from class to class – even from ship to ship – the general Type VIII operating principles remain the same and any deviations in any regard are usually negligible. This phaser type provides excellent offensive and defensive capabilities for many ship classes that, due to their size, require significant quantities of internal volume for other operations which would otherwise be consumed by larger phaser weaponry.

Temporal Mechanics
| Chronal Travel System | The Chronal Travel System allows for infinite velocity, making it possible to go anywhere in the universe or anywhere in time in the time it takes for the drive to kick in. This drive leaves no distortions in subspace in its wake, no warp trail as is required of timeships by the Temporal Prime Directive in order to mitigate any negative effects of time travel. The chronal travel system creates a forced point singularity and forms a high-intensity static warp bubble about itself, sending the ship backwards or forward in time; effectively sling-shooting around itself. |
|
| Chronal Jammer | The chronal jammer is a weapon designed to incapacitate other ships' sensors and prevent anyone from following the ship through time by creating a field of tachyons and chronitons with a 300,000 km radius around the ship. Any ship within that field will find its sensors completely inoperable, particularly any chronometric sensors, which may be completely fused by exposure to the field. Other chronal technologies should suffer similar problems. While the chronal jammer is active, the crew cannot use the ship's other weapons, but can raise shields | |
| Chronometric Sensors | Chronometric Sensors allow a ship to find not only it's place in space and time, but the place of any person or ship. When active it scans the timeline for temporal incursions. Essentially they function as normal sensors except where normal sensors scan space, chronometric sensors scan time. | |
| Chronal Trensporters | Function as normal transporters except they allow you to transport a person or object to a specific place and point in time. You must know the exact location and the exact time period that you would like to transport to. If a person is transported too many times in succession they are in danger of suffering a form of temporal psychosis which could result in death. Chronal Transporters can also be used to reunite multiple versions of the same person. |
