TOVARISH is a Wellington-class light cruiser, one of the last of this aging class still in active service. Wellington-class light cruisers, have been retired and are generally comparable to modern vessels of similar class, but were retired in favor of commissioning newer vessels rather than refitting the older designs. Many Wellington-class cruisers still see limited service as local patrol ships, | TOVARISH is a Wellington-class light cruiser, one of the last of this aging class still in active service.

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.

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.

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. | 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.

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 | The third revision presents a new D-Warp generator tailored for the class, the new Radiation Phasing Shields that allow significant faster D_Warp speeds and improved computing network and sensors. All of the above, greatly increase the operational range and endurance of the ship, increasing her value as explorer, surveyor and fast response vessel. | ||
