Novaen Space Agency - Classified - NSA Only

This is a secret Novaen Document containing description of all ship classes and current ships of that design

Class: Hawdon

Dimensions:
Bow to Stern - 860m
Port to Starboard - 500m
Shape - It has a basic shape of an arrow head, with 2 sharp lines visually seperating the ship into three equal portions

Weapon Systems:

2 * Ship-based homing missle array
4 * 6.5 gigawatt laser (can be focussed or used individually)

Other:

Docking Bay- Squadron of fighters
Medical Bay

Personnel:

!2 Bridge Crew
600 Docking Crew (50 Fighters on Board)
600 Members of the Novaen Armed Forces
750 Miscellanous Crew

Engines:
FTL - Time Manipulation Field Engine (A field is generated that manipulates that selective manipulates the flow of time, allowing the ship to travel at Faster than Light, without actually being faster than light)

Sub-Light - Inertial Thrusters (The Thrusters used compressed gasses to propel the ship in a number of directions including reverse. As there are multiple thrusters the ship has excellent manouverabilty but not great acceleration.)


Ships of this Class: None - Ship Design Obsolete


OOC: Any comments on the design would be great..

Novaen Space Agency - Classified - NSA Only

This is a secret Novaen Document containing description of all ship classes and current ships of that design

Class: Hawdon Mk II

Dimensions:
Bow to Stern - 860m
Port to Starboard - 500m
Shape - It has a basic shape of an arrow head, with 2 sharp lines visually seperating the ship into three equal portions

Weapon Systems:

20 * 800 Megawatt Laser
8 * 10 gigawatt laser (can be focussed all together or used individually)

Other:

Docking Bay- Squadron of fighters(50 fighters all up)
Medical Bay

Personnel:

12 Bridge Crew
600 Docking Crew (50 Fighters on Board)
600 Members of the Novaen Armed Forces
750 Miscellanous Crew

Engines:
FTL - Time Manipulation Field Engine (A field is generated that manipulates the flow of time, slowing it down around the ship allowing the ship to travel at effectively Faster than Light speeds , without actually being faster than light)

WITH

Hyperspace Bubble Generator (Provided by Hakurabi) - Swaps the Truespace for hyperspace dramatically reducing distance between stars combined with the time drtve makes for very fast FTL travel.

Sub-Light - Inertial Thrusters (The Thrusters used compressed gasses to propel the ship in a number of directions including reverse. As there are multiple thrusters the ship has excellent manouverabilty and reasonable accelration .)


Ships of this Class:
NBS Dart
NBS Arrow
NBS Terra Nova
NBS Hope
NBS Future
NBS Escort
NBS Legacy
+ one hundred and thirteen (113) others

Now that our space-bourne shipyard the 'Pad' has been finished (see RP in Diplomatic thread).

Name: Hawdon Mark 1 Upgrade Project

Description: To retrofit all Hawdon Mark I's with the Harukabi Hyperspace Bubble Generator

All 13 can be handled at once but it will take one year to perform.

Result: All Mark I Hawdons become Mark II
