VALHALLA class runabout

Named after the celestial home of the ancient Norse Earth gods, the VALHALLA class runabout can be used regularly as a high-speed personnel carrier. It's design is modeled after the Darwin class starships, with modular components for multi-purpose missions capabilities. Curently designed modules include medical, scientific, security, cargo, and engineering.

General Specifications

• TYPE: Long range warp shuttle
• ACCOMODATIONS: Two flight crew; Passenger configuration: 15 (standard); 4 diplomatic; variable configurations for mission specific settings
• POWER PLANT: Two 400,000 millicochrane warp engines; twelve microfusion reactors (STD); Two 660,050 millicochrane warp engines (option)
• DIMENSIONS: Length, 20 meters; width, 6 meters; height, 3.5 meters
• MASS: 7 metric tonnes
• PERFORMANCE: Warp 6.2 for 48 hours (standard); 7 for 25(option)
• ARMAMENT: 2 type V phaser emitters
• SHIELDS: Two 15 MW graviton polarity power sources feeding one 215 millicochrane subspace field distortion amplifier; field frequency recycles every .5 picoseconds
• SENSORS: 4.0 light years in high resolution; 16.0 in low-medium resolution; map 1 adjacent sector in two days

All of the mission modules contain specialized computer cores/processors specific to their task.

MISSION MODULES:

• Medical: Outfitted for medical use, a VALHALLA can hold 6 biobeds and 3 doctors. Medical supplies carried on board include standard medical fare to eqipment for major surgeries. Computer core added to monitor patients; contains up-to-date medical library.
• Scientific: Sensor enhancements boost range and efficiency by 25%; instrument packages and extra-vehicular activity suits specific to mission; modified torpedo launcher for probes; 3 on-board class 3 probes; 10 scientists.
• Security:
  • prisoner transport: same basic module as standard except: outfitted with locator computers keyed in to prisoners id bracelets. Any quick movements result in a small electrical shock (a hypo instead maybe?) 10 prisoners, 5 officers
  • security escort: shields boosted 15%, 2 phaser emitters added, bringing total to 4 emitters ; if EXTREMELY neccessary, can be equipped with a torpedo launcher: this will add 2 metric tonnes to the mass, as an extra bay must be attached to the bottom of the ship to house launcher and torpedoes, 5 torpedo ordinance
• Cargo: maximum load capacity of 5 metric tonnes; two flight crew and one cargo manager; small computer core to monitor movement, loading/offloading, and content of cargo
• Engineering/Repair: Polymer welding tools attached to phaser emitters: focus the energy to a pinpoint for welding or cutting; equipped with external grapple swing arms; 5 engineers with EVA suits for each and two extra; modified torpedo casing tool sleds: the magnetic fields used to contain the anti-matter are contolled by an LCARS model computer to move tools on the sled and pass to the engineer.

Other modules are to be designed.
