Notes:

The ZENDAL is a medical relief cruiser designed around the principles of the
classical Daedalus-class starship. More similar  in size to a destroyer, this
ship is fast and agile and has outstanding autonomy and endurance. Sporting
the latest technologies, it's faster and more maneuverable than the MERCY-class,
and requires half the crew while still providing medical attention for
large number of patients. 

The ZENDAL-class has an ample hangar with a good number of craft for those cases where
transporters are not available, and excellent laboratories for medical investigation.

The ship is, however, lightly armed, so it should be deployed in areas where
physical threats are minimised or with an adequate escort. Specialized in early
response, the ZENDAL-class supercedes the aging NIGHTINGALE-class DD, by providing
more space, much greater speeds and relief capacities.

It has adequate sensors and dedicated sensor arrays to scan for lifeforms with
great precision, as well and enhanced and more powerful transporters capable of 
moving a large number of people around.

Due to all the improvement in automations, the crew has been reduced
accordingly. The high number of officers and passengers are due to
the medical staff that comprises half of the crew.


Historical notes (extracted from Wikipedia):

Isabel Zendal Gómez (born 1773) was a Spanish nurse from Galicia
who took part in the Balmis Expedition (1803-1806, Real Expedición
Filantrópica de la Vacuna), which took smallpox vaccination to South
America and Asia.

She had previously been the supervisor or "rectoress" of an orphanage
in A Coruña, and her role on the expedition was to take care of the
group of 22, later 26, small orphan boys who carried the virus from
which the vaccine was prepared.

The three-year expedition aimed to vaccinate millions of people
against smallpox, and had the support of king Charles IV of Spain
whose daughter had died of the disease.

In 1950 the World Health Organization recognised her as the first
nurse in history to take part in an international mission.
