As a pure Science vessel, the USS Lothlorien-C's mission is to investigate scientific phenomena, newly-charted planets, and explore the galaxy. The small size of Nova-class vessels creates a sense of camaraderie among the crew, and the scientific nature of the Loth's mission never makes for a dull moment.

[edit] Mission Profile/History
The USS Lothlorien A was launched on Stardate 199609.06 under Captain Sean Astro. The ship was crippled by pirates and crash landed on Cook V on Stardate 199906.25 under the command of Captain Quint Kivo. The crew was temporarily reassigned to the USS Trailblazer, until the USS Lothlorien B was launched on Stardate 199910.01 (still under Kivo's command).
Shortly after, Commander John Styre was promoted to Captain, and went on to serve as Commanding Officer for nearly six years. On Stardate 200608.04, the now Rear Admiral Styre destroyed the Lothlorien B in order to save Earth. Construction on the Lothlorien C was completed on Stardate 200608.11, under the command of Captain T'Zal, who remained Commanding Officer until his retirement, on SD 200709.19.
Following T'Zal's retirement, Rear Admiral Styre returned to the Lothlorien once again to serve as Commanding Officer.
[edit] Technical Specifications
Construction:
Built: Utopia Planitia Shipyard, Mars
Launched: Stardate 200608.05
Commissioned: Stardate 200608.05
Bridge Plaque Dedication: "There will be an answer, let it be..."
[edit] Computer System
V-109-A Bio-Neutral Duotronics Computer Core system
(NOTE: Most Nova-class vessels do not have a bioneural computer system. The Lothlorien was outfitted with an upgraded system due to its later construction.)
[edit] Propulsion
Ceries F-Type Matter/Antimatter Engine
T2-16 fusion impulse engine (Maximum Impulse Speed: .75c; Standard "Full Impulse" cruising speed: .25c)
- Ceries-designed Coil Assembly
- Dilithium Focus Lens Matrix
- Standard Version 3 magneto-hydrodynamic gas-fusion thrusters
- Standard Cruising Speed: Warp 6.3
- Maximum Cruising Speed: Warp 8, twelve hours
- Maximum Emergency Speed: Warp 9, short bursts
- Maximum (Theoretical) Cloaked Speed: Warp 5 (tested under theoretical limits; class never flown with operational cloaking device)
[edit] Armament
Weapons
Eleven Type-IX Phaser Arrays, 6 MW per emitter, and equipped with computer-controlled multi-fire
- Four dorsal saucer
- Two ventral saucer
- Two aft saucer
- Three lateral stardrive
- Three Standard Torpedo Launchers:
- Two fore (one photon, one quantum)
- One aft (photon)
- 55 Type-6, Mark-X M/A Photon Torpedoes (30 gigajoule yield)
- 20 Mark-XI M+/A+ Quantum Torpedoes (50 gigajoule yield)
Defensive Systems
- Asymmetrical, shifting subspace graviton field
- 11 shield grids: 150 MW/grid, total 1.6 GW
- Multi-phase graviton/polarity flux capability, essentially enabling the shields to automatically rotate shield frequencies and alignments
[edit] Sensors
Primary SWAC array, cross-matrixed
Complete primary LRS package
- Wide-angle active electromagnetic scanners
- Narrow-angle active electromagnetic scanners
- Gamma ray telescope, 3 meter lens
- Electromagnetic flux sensor, variable frequency
- Custom anomalous reading sensor, calibrated to both temporal and physical anomalies
- Lifeform analysis instrument package
- Parametric subspace field stress sensor, quad-variable
- Thermal imaging array
- Full spectrum analytical capabilities
Complete primary SRS package
- Ship sensors, cooperative with tactical arrays
- Interior scan package, complete with personnel database
- Additional anomalous scan package
- Secondary LRS and SRS packages, used primarily for flight and battle
- Tertiary lateral A/P (astronomical/planetary) sensors for emergency use
Complete astrophysical database
[edit] Accessory Vessels
- 1 Yellowstone-Class Runabout (Formerly Type-9B Shuttlecraft): USS Anduin
- 2 Type-16 Shuttlecraft
- 2 Work Bee utility craft
- 1 WaveRider atmospheric shuttlecraft
(Note: The Lothlorien does have the ability to fly through atmosphere as well as land, a useful capability for scientific missions.)
[edit] Transporters
Personal: 1
Cargo: 1
Emergency: 2
[edit] Holodecks
None per se, but one of the ship's three cargo bays contains integrated hologram emitters and may be converted to a holodeck when empty, and under normal circumstances is configured as such. When carrying a great deal of cargo or people, the holodeck is generally converted back into a cargo bay.
[edit] Deck-by-Deck Layout
8 Decks
Deck 1: Bridge, Captain's Ready Room, Observation Lounge
Deck 2: Impulse drive reactors, mess hall, crew quarters
Deck 3: Cargo bays, deuterium tanks, transporter room, crew quarters
Deck 4: Main shuttlebay, Sickbay, Counselor's office, escape pods, main computer core access, WaveRider, auxiliary deflector, crew and officer quarters
Deck 5: Docking ports, warp core access
Deck 6: Main Deflector, security office
Deck 7: Tractor emitters, Main Engineering
Deck 8: Antimatter storage, landing struts
