Notes:
When Starfleet requested a replacement to the HOOD-class light cruiser
that possessed the HOOD-class' multi-mission abilities and the
STORM-class' endurance and speed, several competing designs were submitted
with a design based of the SOVEREIGN-class light cruiser being the
resulting choice.
The HIRYU-class light cruiser has a hull shape very similar to its
SOVEREIGN-class cousin, with three noticable differences. With the first
being its slightly smaller size, the second difference places the warp
nacelles below the secondary hull as oppose d to above. This allows the
class to be equipped with an interchangeable sensor/weapons pod set above
the ship's primary hull allowing the HIRYU-class to be optimized for
various different missions.
The key feature in the success of the design, like its HOOD-class
predecessor, is the interchangeable pod, also designated Multi-Mission Pod
(MMP), which has been designed to allow the installation of the most
advanced equipment in Starfleet. The various MMP's are designated Type-1
through Type-5 and have a tradeoff between computer, sensors and weapons
systems. The weapons pods are intended for military applications and
include enhanced resolution tactical sensors, but lack the many advanced
scientific scanning systems. All pods contain an auxiliary reactor core
to supplement the power required by the various equipment contained
within. Also, each pod features a tie-in to a third computer core in the
secondary hull dedicated and optimized for multimission profiles.
