Having gotten a glimpse of Starfleet’s attempt to curry favor with kind-hearted brigands in the form of their new Firefly Class ships, the Klingons are taking a cue and constructing an analogous vessel intended for use by bounty hunters and soldiers of fortune. Inspired by the ship used by a fighter of great skill and cunning, the Razorcrest Class will bring honor to the empire through the exploits of lone warriors seeking their own glory.
The Dominion has grown and thrived for over 10,000 years according to certain Vorta, and has gathered information on many ancient civilizations. It is no surprise that The Ancients would be one of them. Deciding that the Dominion would best be served by quietly seeding itself across the stars, the Founders drew inspiration from the Ancients and recreated one of their Seed Ships, originally used to plant Stargates across this and other galaxies. The Dominion’s Destiny Class starship deposits cloning facilities for Vorta and Jem’Hadar along with the necessary materials to construct Ketracel White refineries and shipyards. Within a year there will be a battle-ready detachment of ruthless soldiers with ships to command, minded by loyal Vorta patiently waiting for their gods to return with instructions.
TrekAdvent Day 10. Ben, Ken, Len, Pen, Men, Den, Hen, Zen and Yen. Rhymes achieved.
The Cardassians, having acquired a taste for borrowing ships designs after the success of repurposing Earthforce Starfuries, once again adapt human engineering by taking possession of the Tau’ri BC-304 known as the Daedalus Class battlecruiser. While some may expect the hangar bays on either side to house a compliment of Starfuries, Central Command confounded expectations by converting the bays into massive warp nacelles and converting the primary hull into densely packed barracks, allowing the vessel to transport a formidable detachment of ground troops while maintaining high warp speeds for considerable lengths of time. Their solution for delivering combat fighters will soon be revealed.
So yeah, I missed December 5th. What can I tell ya? Stuff happens.
But we’re back, and we begin with a Starfury fighter craft from Babylon 5 press ganged into service by the Cardassian Union. Perhaps with these agile vessels at their disposal the Central Command would have fared better against the Maquis.
Starfleet makes a serious departure from their normal style by acquiring some surplus Ha’Taks from deposed or deceased System Lords among the Goa’uld. After the Starfleet Corps of Engineers completed the retrofits allowing these behemoths to move from Naquadah-based power to Deuterium-based warp drive they became the envy of all alien civilizations that based their culture on the Egyptians of ancient Earth.
Mere minutes later, here are the four screen pairings I made for my phone based on Stargate.
