Notes:

When Starfleet first encountered the Dalriada, it's ships were poorly able to deal with the swarms of missiles fired from long range -- missiles with deadly bomb-pumped x-ray laser warheads. The need for point-defense system became evident. Some Starfleet vessels, most in INDIGO fleet, were refit with such a defense. The CIRCE class is the first Battle Cruiser built to make extensive use of the new defensive standard for Starfleet ships.

This advanced, experimental cruiser mounts twenty-four point defense lasers, capable of very rapid fire at close range. The lasers cover all fields of fire, and field tests have shown that these beams much more effective than any existing options for intercepting and destroying incoming missiles and photon torpedoes. The CIRCE also is equipped with two intercept drone launchers. These drones emit a signature very much like the ship that they are protecting so that the attacker goes after or at least locks onto them, and not the 'mother ship'.

In addition to the new defensive systems, the CIRCE is equipped with Starfleet's newest phaser, the type Xf. These beams are much more tightly focused than the standard type X phaser allowing for much greater range, thus providing the option to engage most enemies beyond their energy weapon range. However, the Xf's are not without drawbacks. An advanced targeting or sensor system is required for long range attacks, recharge time is over two times that of the type X, and the power output of the phaser is greatly reduced with range:

100,000 km -	150%	type X at simalar range
200,000 km -	106%	type X at simalar range
300,000 km -	87%	type X at simalar range
400,000 km -	75%	type X at simalar range

The Xf phasers are mounted in ball-shaped turrets that restrict the fields of fire. To complement the type Xf phasers, the CIRCE incorporates six standard type X emitters for standard attack distances. Four Xa pulse phasers and four torpedo launchers help to round out the ship for multiple tactical situations.

The CIRCE is also equipped with the next-generation SCIMITAR tactical system originally developed for the MONTU class light cruiser. The SCIMITAR allows for faster and more accurate deployment, targeting and coordination of all weapons and defensive systems during an engagement. It incorporates a new series of tactical sensors, a dedicated computer core, advanced software, and all available weapon systems into one integrated package capable of providing tactical dominance greater than the mere ordinance itself would suggest.
