RANGER is a Sentinel-class Frigate. | RANGER is a Sentinel-class Frigate. 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 space frames already at work in the field. She fields the latest in weaponry, 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 its 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 its 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 special 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 incorporation of the gravitic sublight 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. Additionally, the ship has been outfitted to use SESR module. This removes some shuttle capacity, but | |||
enhances the exploration and surveyance capabilities significantly, making the class more versatile than the previous iterations. | |||
