Notes:
The tactical configuration of the TSYKLON was developed to allow adequate
defence while providing maximum energy distribution to the engines and
AUGUR sensor suite. This philosophy directly resulted in the addition of
ablative armor to give a static boost to the FD-7e shielding, as well as
linking the multiple dorsal phaser arrays to a common bank for power
conservation.
An outgrowth of the technology used in the DELPHI and ORACLE suites, the
AUGUR sensor suite uses a system similar to the subspace field balancing
coil of three nacelled ships like SOLAR, CAESAR, and FENRIS to focus a
subspace scanning beam which allows faster-than-light (long range) sensor
reading at far higher resolutions than any conventional sensor system with
a fraction of the computer processing overhead of the DELPHI and ORACLE
systems, both of which require dedicated computer cores. In addition, the
AUGUR is designed to tie into the ship's communication systems to act as a
high-power signal relay station or a jamming station.
When the sensor system is operating in high power mode, the warp field is
distorted to such an extent that it actually impacts the performance of
the starship's propulsion system. This is in part due to the
configuration of the TSYKLON class which allows the AUGUR system to
directly interact with the warp nacelles.
With the AUGUR system, the TSYKLON class vessels are quite capable for
reconnaisance, exploration, and patrol missions.
Ship names are based on prominant launch vehicles used on Earth in the
20th century. NCC-53xxx:
