Notes:

Continuing the trend toward smaller, higher technology vessels, the FEARLESS-class Heavy Cruiser was designed to increase the deployment of Starfleet's newest phaser, as well as represent a technological upgrade from the CAESAR AUGUSTUS-class. The new class incorporates lessons learned from the CIRCE-class Battlecruisers, including the CIRCE-class' revolutionary automation to reduce crew requirements.

In addition, the FEARLESS-class incorporates a revolutionary new sublight drive. The FEARLESS' dimension warp nodes have been modified to serve as the ship's main method of sublight propulsion. This new drive operates by planing gravity in normal space, providing an acceleration potential greater than standard impulse drives. However, available inertial compensator technology is not able to take advantage of the drive's full potential. Effectively, the new drive system bestows a 5% edge in maneuverability and acceleration upon the FEARLESS-class heavy cruisers, making her handle like an impulse driven ship of only about 3.5 Mmt. If deemed a success, this new drive can be easily retrofitted into any starfleet vessel capable of dimension warp as the gravitic dynamic planing drive system uses the hyperspace nodes of the dimensional drive in a secondary mode with limited hardware changes to produce its propulsion effect.

The FEARLESS is equipped with Starfleet's newest phaser systems. The Xg is a modification of the Xf extended range phaser. The Xg uses a variable, multiple gravitic lens system to further increase the precision of beam focus and reduce the loss of the crystalline lenses of the Xf. These beams are much more tightly focused than the standard type X phaser allowing for much greater range, thus providing the option to engage most enemies beyond their energy weapon range. However, the Xg's are not without drawbacks. An advanced targeting or sensor system is required for long range attacks, recharge time is over two times that of the type X, and the power output of the phaser is greatly reduced with range:

100,000 km - 150% type X at similar range
200,000 km - 109% type X at similar range
300,000 km - 91% type X at similar range
350,000 km - 85% peak output of type X at 300,000 km
400,000 km - 80% peak output of type X at 300,000 km
450,000 km - 75% peak output of type X at 300,000 km

The Xg phasers are mounted in ball-shaped turrets that restrict the fields of fire. To handle the Xg phasers power demands, improved high-density phaser capacitors have been incorporated, bestowing greater endurance upon FEARLESS in a sustained engagement. To complement the type Xg phasers, the FEARLESS incorporates six enhanced type XI emitters which improve range over the basic type X for improved standard attack distances. Two XIa enhanced pulse phasers and three torpedo launchers help to round out the ship for multiple tactical situations.

The XIa enhanced pulse phasers were first deployed in hull pods on the NEW ORLEANS Model III (CAVALLA class) light cruisers. The larger size of the heavy cruiser allowed a turreted arrangement for the weapon, similar to conventional Xc pulse phaser cannons, but allowing for the enhanced range capabilities and high rate of fire of the XIa (though without the peak output levels of the Xc.

The FEARLESS is also equipped with the next-generation RAPIER tactical system, an upgrade from the SCIMITAR system. The RAPIER allows for faster and more accurate deployment, targeting and coordination of all weapons and defensive systems during an engagement. It incorporates a new series of tactical sensors, a distributed computing network, advanced software, advanced electronic countermeasures, and all available weapon systems into one integrated package capable of providing tactical dominance greater than the mere ordinance itself would suggest.

Like the RAPIER's sub-processing nodes, the ship's main computer uses multiple networked computing nodes to reduce the chance that battle damage will disable critical computing functions. All information in the ship's database is replicated no less than three times and the ship is capable of rerouting all primary (life support, navigational, maneuvering, and defense) computer functions so long as at least 50% of the network remains intact.
