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.

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.

Welcome to the new and improved Star Trek Intelligence 6.0. I apologize for the long neglect of the site, after the 'reported' death of Star Trek. Though with new life, I though it might might be time to also bring the old site back to life for the enjoyment of all.

Notes: The Cardassian Galor class composes the majority of the Cardassian Union's fleet. Originally built to match the previous generation of Federation and Klingon starships the Galor class is easily outclassed by most other starships as the other Alpha Quadrant powers have since advanced beyond the current level Cardassian technology. Equipped with one main forward disruptor array and several smaller arrays, a Galor class is no match for a Federation Galaxy class, to compensate for this short coming the Cardassians often deployed ships in small tactical groups composed of three or more Galor class ship. After Cardassia joined the Dominion the Galor class was refitted with more advance weapons including plasma torpedoes to compete with similar class starships. Even with these improvements the Galor class was consigned to a support role or cannon fodder for more powerful Dominion ships. After the defeat of the Dominion the future of the Galor class is uncertain.

Impulse engines are the main form of sub-light propulsion on board Federation starships. Impulse drive is mainly used within solar systems or areas of space where warp drive is no available. Normal operation of the impulse engines will propel a Federation starship at up to speeds of 0.25c. Depending on the size and number of impulse engines available, ships such as the Galaxy class, can obtain emergency speeds up to 0.75c when required from the impulse engines. The impulse engine reactors are also the main source of power for the ships EPS power systems.

Onboard Federation starships there is normally one main impulse drive mounted on the rear of the secondary hull. This drive is used for the primary propulsion of the ship during standard operation. On larger Federation starships there may secondary impulse engines mounted on the primary hull to provide additional propulsion for the ship.

The impulse engines are composed of four main parts. The first part of the engine is one or more fusion reaction chambers. These reaction chambers are supplied deuterium from the ships primary storage tanks; here it undergoes a fusion reaction producing high energy plasma. The plasma is directed out of the chamber into the accelerator/generator stage. During times when the impulse engines are not being used to propel the ship the output of the reaction chamber are directed into the ships EPS system. When being used to propel the ship the plasma is accelerated and passed into the driver coil assembly. The driver coils are similar to those found in the ship Â’s warp engines; these coils have the effect of reducing the ships apparent mass allowing the reaction to drive the ship. After leaving the driver coils the plasma is sent though the vector exhaust ports, driving the ship forward.

Prolonged use of the impulse engines are not recommended due to th e effects of special relativity, especially at speeds higher than 0.25c.
