Attached Ships of Deep Space 13

Below are the various support craft permanently attached to Deep Space 13. There are currently 3 capital support vessels- USS TIGERSHARK, USS PROTON and USS VALLEY FORGE- as well as several fighter shuttlecraft and a ship repair facility capable of handling all but the largest ZEUS-class battleships.

These vessels are simply attachments to DS13 and therefore are considered NPC ships. As such, other than a Flight Operations team and a nominal Commanding Officer, no permanent crew of their own are assigned- their crews are pulled from DS13's own crew compliment. Flight Operations Officers for the three attached ships, as well as regular pilots for the fighter shuttlecraft, can be found on the station manifest.

NOTE: The specific makeup of the attached ships may change pending administrative approval.

 

USS TIGERSHARK NCC-87035

Unit Notes:

  • PRIMARY MISSION TYPE: Patrol/Escort
  • COMMANDING OFFICER: TBA

Technological Data:

Mission Profile:

A cousin to the Defiant class, the Thunderbolt class is the smallest starship in the Federation inventory to mount to offensive weapons of a destroyer. As such, the class has nearly unparalleled maneuverabilty for a ship of its rate. This is paid for by a lack of range, cramped crew compartments which do not even afford all personnel with their own bunks, and virtually non-existant scientic research equipment.

USS PROTON NCC-53079

Unit Notes:

  • PRIMARY MISSION TYPE: Surveyor

  • COMMANDING OFFICER: TBA

Technological Data:

Mission Profile:

At just over half the mass of the Feynman class, the Tsyklon class offers a far more cost efficient light, mobile sensor platform. While not the equal of its larger cousin as an exploration vessel, the Tsyklon incorporates most of the major advantages of the larger Feynman in a much more efficient vessel.

USS VALLEY FORGE NCC-82633

Unit Notes:

  • PRIMARY MISSION TYPE: General Duty
  • COMMANDING OFFICER: TBA

Technological Data:

Mission Profile:

The Sentinel represents one of the largest frigates in service. In many ways, small destroyers, the vessels in the class are armed with the latest in technology, the Sentinel-class sets out to prove that small ships and small crews can match some of the larger cousins spacefarmes already at work in the field. She fields the latest in weaponry, tactical systems, point defense, EW drones, sensors, navigations, and computer networks.
