A mere outpost for deep space surveillance and a military post for a small garrison protecting the Akata III colony, recent findings of an incredible amount of Iconian artifacts have forced Starfleet to deploy a whole Task Force, to which this orbital station serves as an operations base. | ||

MAXWELL is a Tesla-class Surveyor. After successfully testing and improving the DELPHI array deep space sensor system on the USS FENRIS, it was decided to implement it in a smaller class of vessel with a strong emphasis on scientific use. It quickly became evident that a medium-sized ship of 300 to 450 crew would be the platform suited best, filling the gap between the WOLFE-class frigates and the DIOGENES-class cruisers both in size and crew. | MAXWELL is a Tesla-class Surveyor.

To avoid the mass and energy consumption that comes along with a third nacelle to shape the subspace field for scanning purposes, the TESLA class uses a variable warp nacelle geometry, based on a two nacelle design. | To avoid the mass and energy consumption that comes along with a third nacelle to shape the subspace field for scanning purposes, the TESLA class uses a variable warp nacelle geometry, based on a two nacelle design. Improved ORACLE-IId sensors, alongside SESR and extra computing power allow for standard white hull, despite the almost back coating of its FEYNMAN predecessors. | ||
The ship's saucer section is somewhat elongated with a more streamlined arrowhead appearance to facilitate a more efficient warp bubble at higher warp speeds, while the engineering section is resembling the shape of an elongated AMBASSADOR-class design with variable position warp nacelles. The hull allows an emergency separation but cannot reassemble in space. There is no Captain's yacht to allow the bottom of the saucer section to be shaped for optimum deflector use. The auxiliary shuttle bay doors open forward. | The ship's saucer section is somewhat elongated with a more streamlined arrowhead appearance to facilitate a more efficient warp bubble at higher warp speeds, while the engineering section is resembling the shape of an elongated AMBASSADOR-class design with variable position warp nacelles.

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.
