Notes:
The Sentinel represents one of the largest frigates in service. In
many ways, small destroyers, the vessels in the class are armed with
the latest in technology, the SENTINEL-class sets out to prove that
small ships and small crews can match some of the larger spacefarmes
already at work in the field. She fields the latest in weaponary,
tactical systems, point defense, EW drones, sensors, navigation,
and computer networks.
This design has also been packed with the latest in stealth
technology, offering not only another ship capable of holding its
own in a firefight, but also a design that has one of the lowest
sensor profiles achievable without a cloaking device.
The Navigational Deflector is built into the Primary Hull and
ties in with the sensor and communications arrays without any loss
to it's primary purpose. This allows for greater scanning of subspace
frequencies when the ship is rigged for ultraquiet mode. Along the
outer edges of the Primary Hull are special nodes that create a
dampening field around the ship, preventing ship emissions from
revealing it's location.
The second revision of the design, replaces its impulse drives with
a gravity-planing sublight drive system, and provides the ship with
fourth generation D-Warp generator as an emergency system. Engineering
work is needed to adapt the especial gravitational profile of the
Sentinel class for a seamless dimensional transition, but the system,
retrofitted from the Pathfinder class, is proving promising.
Despite the increase in displacement caused by the incorpoation of the
gravitic sublice and FTL drives, normal space warp speeds are not
affected and the ship has substantially increased both sublight
maneuverability and acceleration. Augmented structural integrity fields
were required for the new systems. Aditionally, the ship has been
outfitted to use SESR module. This removes some shuttle capacity, but
enhabces the explotarion and surveyance capabilities significantly,
making the class more versatile than the previous iterations.
