Starfleet Intelligence Central Records Archive (SICRA)

Subject:

Compiled Starship and Technology Report

As requested, selected starship and technology intelligence reports transferred from the Central Records Archive located at Starfleet Intelligence headquarters. Per regulations all information in this document is considered classified and is not to be shared with individuals without prior clearance.

You may now use this PADD to review intelligence information obtained from the major powers of the galaxy translated into standard Federation English for your convenience. To review, click the button at the top of your PADD. Further database structure and usage information can be found in the database guide.

Please select the starship intelligence report of your choice. It should be noted that because of the nature of intelligence gathering, only a limited amount of information may have been obtained due to an increase in security or the reassignment or untimely death of one or more undercover agents. However Star Fleet Intelligence is committed to gather the most complete intelligence possible, no matter the cost.

Star Trek Intelligence is proud to announce a brand new web site, ST-I Wiki. ST-I Wiki is the companion wiki to Star Trek Intelligence that will allow visitors to freely edit any of the information found on ST-I, or add additional information that has not been included on the main site, without the need to editor review. As with ST-I, ST-I Wiki will remained focused on creating the most in depth source for Star Trek starships and technology; it’s our hope that the two web sites will share the best and most accurate information between them.

Why is ST-I Wiki being created?
Over the years visitors like you have asked for many changes to the information contained on ST-I. One of the most common requests is to add non-cannon starships or split refit classes. ST-I Wiki should give visitors a free hand to create the web pages they want to see along with adding numerous small details not covered in ST-I’s briefing format. Finally this should improve the overall responsiveness to user submissions to ST-I and eliminate lengthy delays.

We hope you enjoy this new resource from ST-I.

Notes: With the development and impending launch of newer classes of starships such as the Excelsior class, the aging Constitution class ships were quickly becoming obsolete. Not willing to retire the proven design to rely solely on the new Excelsior class, Starfleet under took a complete refit of the Constitution class, creating an almost entirely new class of ships. With these new systems the Constitution class served the Federation for another twenty years. As to prove the class' abilities yet again, the Enterprise and Enterprise-A under Capt Kirk, played pivotal roles in defending the Federation and creating a lasting peace with the Klingon Empire before the class was retired from service.

Bio-neural gel packs are the latest advance in Starfleet computer systems. Starfleet has deployed them on the newest classes of starships such as the Intrepid class. The gel packs consist of a traditional isolinear interface and a package of gel containing artificial fibers that resemble human neurons. These fibers are capable of forming billions of inter-connections, which has the effect of creating a complex computer architecture.

The gel packs are designed to use fuzzy logic, or best guess algorithms, when processing data making them very similar to how living organisms operate. Calculations that traditional isolinear chips are incapable of solving are easily guessed by the gel packs. The primary function of the gel packs on board a starship is to perform optimal fuel and warp calculations. The gel packs are also able to form sentient holograms because of their resemblance to artificial neural system.

Since the gel packs are made of organic material, they can become infected with viruses and bacteria, but are treatable by standard human medical procedures.
