Star Trek ships, scenario's and settings ...

An alternative reality where Mirror Spock, instead of following Kirk's original suggestion to start changing course on the Terran Empire, he decided to solidify it.  When the Mirror Bajoran Wormhole was accidentally discovered in the 2280s the reinvigorated Terran Empire set about to conquer the Prime Universe.

The invasion took the major powers by complete surprise.  Hitting right after Praxis was destroyed, the Klingon empire was hit hardest, while the Romulan Empire, still unstable after Praetor Ael i-Mhiessan t'Rllaillieu seized power saw many uprisings including the Remans.  Meanwhile the Federation received grievous losses, especially Andor and Vulcan.  Despite a desperately heroic resistance a second wave overwhelmed Starfleet defenses and the Terran Empire flag was raised above Starfleet Headquarters.

James T. Kirk, together with a small group of ships slipped deep into enemy territory and was able to seal the Wormhole, trapping the invasion force in our universe without any hope for reinforcements.  Kirk then set off to help the Romulans and Klingons who were starting to recover from the attack.  The Terran Empire, meanwhile had launched a series of devastating punitive raids on Gorn and Tholian worlds as a deterrent, while opening up talks with the Cardassians.  The Cardassians realized that the Terran Empire was not so much interested in a mutually beneficial alliance, but mostly in finding new cannon fodder to further weaken the major powers and allow Imperial forces to finish the job once and for all.  The Cardassians politely refused the alliance, remaining "neutral", but still providing covert military aid to the Empire.

Kirk meanwhile was unable to unify the Romulans and Klingons who were still rebuilding after the devastating losses they had incurred in the early days of the invasion.  Kirk was able to recruit small numbers of Romulan and Klingon volunteers including captains Kang and Koloth.  Kirk assigned his old crew to command several vessels, but during the fighting Spock was reported missing, presumed dead and both Chekov and Scotty were killed in combat.  As a result Kirk became more erratic and the mysterious Imperial Admiral sensed an opportunity, trying to lure the Alliance Fleet into a trap near the obscure world of Wolf 359.

The trap was set and the Imperial fleet, outnumbering the Alliance under Kirk moved into position when a Gorn fleet barred their way and threatened the Imperial fleet with annihilation if they continued.  At the same time Kirk's fleet entered the system, reinforced with Romulan and Klingon battlefleets that had assembled in secret.  Kirk offered them one last chance to surrender, but the Imperial fleet was prepared to die to the last man.  Spock, Chekov and Scotty were still alive and Kirk's apparent erratic behaviour was simply a ruse.  Together with a hand-picked squadron, Kirk and the Enterprise A went into pursuit of the Imperial Admiral in an attempt to stop the Empire by beheading the leadership.

The Imperial commander turned out to be David Kirk, Mirror Kirk's son who was burning for revenge for what had been done to his father.  He had murdered Spock and launched the invasion and would fight to the death.  Ironically one of his most trusted subordinates was the Mirror Kruge, brutal even by Klingon standards.

The CDS Rhebari was a military observer sent by the Cardassians, the ship will defend itself and warp out as soon as they receive more than 25% superstructure damage.

In the Mirror universe Spock's reforms had some consequences, because he was giving priority to consolidating the empire, ship technology stagnated and ships such as the Constitution II, the L24 or the Excelsior were not available, the Mirror universe had to make do with older models such as Dreadnoughts, Constitutions and the top secret Khan class Battleship.  Yet they proved to be vicious opponents and often took Federation ships by surprise and overwhelming them with numbers.

The battle was brutal, the Klingon squadrons squared off each other while the Federation supported by the Romulans engaged the Imperial ships.  The Heydrich was taken down by the Excelsior, while the Talaat Pasha was defeated by Courageous with help from the Nimitz and Geronimo.  The Rhebari fled when Kang turned his guns on them.  The Enterprise A, already damaged during the duel with her sister ship Grim Enterprise and Kruge's L9, was viciously assaulted by David Kirk's Khan, which resulted in massive damage including the loss of the starboard warp engine.  Kirk ordered the general evacuation and with a skeleton crew baited the Khan so that Spock could move into position and finish them off, but the Khan was able to fire one last volley and ravaged the bridge, killing Montgomery Scott instantly while Kirk received mortal injuries.  Incapacitated, McCoy was too late to save his life.

With their command devastated and the Gorn threatening to attack, the Imperial fleet surrendered.

The crippled Enterprise A, carrying Kirk and Scott's bodies limped on impulse past the Alliance fleet forming a guard of honour.  Koloth was heard saying "Glory is measured by the strength of your opponent, today the Klingon empire is greatly diminished by the loss of one who was both our worst enemy and our greatest ally."

With threats such as the V'ger incident in the 2270's, Starfleet had to acknowledge that it was ill equipped to deal with such emergencies. The Shangri-La class Fast Cruiser was specifically designed to respond to threats to the Federation, leaving the exploratory and scientific cruisers to concentrate on their more general tasks. Although there were reservations about Starfleet deploying a purely offensive military vessel, few could deny that the risk outweighed the objections, though the Vulcans only provided non-military components, concentrating on sensors, navigation, propulsion and medical equipment.

Officially the Shangri-La received the designation of Fast Cruiser, but the Klingon and Romulan governments accused the Federation of escalating tensions by deploying high powered combat vessels while pretending to be a peaceful organisation. Starfleet responded by stationing these vessels inside Federation territory away from the borders, near areas that might be susceptible to be attacked in the case of an invasion, while shifting other ships to reinforce the borders in the case of an emergency. Although outwardly little seemed to change, the Federation had vastly increased security on its borders, freeing more ships for Starfleet's more peaceful endeavours while having adequate ships available in case of an emergency.

The Shangri-La class was designed to be a brawler, maximizing offensive capabilities into a fast and tough package. Propulsion came in the form of the tested and reliable FWG-1, giving the Shangri-La a top speed of warp 10. Unusual for its day this class was equipped with a pair of impulse engines, that not only increased redundancy in case of damage, but giving these vessels ample power reserves. Equipped with powerful FSS shields and a heavily reinforced superstructure the Shangri-La could take a serious beating before being put out of commission. The offensive systems were made to match its defences, the new FH-14 had a 20% greater power output than the FH-11, mounting 8 in four banks covering all arcs. Three forward FP-4 torpedo tubes mounted in the primary hull could deliver a withering blow. Indeed for many years the Shangri-La was one of Starfleet's most powerful ships.

Usually assigned to Starbases within Federation space the Shangri-La was commonly outfitted for short range missions, though it could carry the extra load for extended campaigns if required. Based on the Constitution class vessel pattern, several new features were introduced that carried on into other designs such as the Excelsior class, most notably the recessed deflector dish. Aside from its more offensive tasks, the Shangri-La performed other duties such as escorting VIP and valuable cargo and even on several occasions acted as StarFleet One, the Presidential starship. Two Shangri-La were present at the Khitomer conference and one was sent by Starfleet intelligence to rescue Kirk and McCoy from the Rura Penthe prison, but turned back as news came that they had already been rescued

They were also popular test-bed ships for new warp systems, weaponry and advanced or experimental technology such as cloaking devices. It is believed that at least one, if not more ships were equipped with a cloaking device and used by both Starfleet Intelligence and Section 31 before the treaty of Algeron. Unverified claims that Section 31 used cloaked Shangri-La vessels after the ban have persisted over the years.

By the 2290's the political situation had shifted, new voices in the Federation called for more diplomacy and reaching out to the Klingons and Romulans. As a gesture further construction and upgrades to the class were halted indefinitely. In the wake of the Khitomer conference many believed that the threats to the Federation had lessened to such a degree that further work on the Shangri-La was deemed counter-productive.

It wasn't until 2305, when the Romulans began a force build-up to threaten Federation borders that the Shangri-La production was resumed and an update was considered. Launched a year after the Tomed incident, the MK II was introduced featuring more effective impulse engines, and more powerful phasers and torpedoes to match the new generation of Romulan warships. Although it came too late to influence events in the confrontation with the Romulans, it arrived just in time for the first confrontation between the Federation and the Cardassians. When three unknown ships raided several Federation outposts. Starfleet responded by sending an Excelsior Class and two Shangri-La class vessels to deal with this threat, which turned out to be a carefully constructed ambush and the prelude to an invasion attempt. Pounced by eight Galor class cruisers, the Federation Task force destroyed three, crippled another and caused substantial damage to the remaining Cardassian ships with no losses. The crippled Galor was captured and yielded vital information about the state of Cardassian technology at that time.

Further upgrades were made to the Mark III in 2325 and the final upgrade to the Mark IV in 2349, while still a formidable presence in its class it was no longer a match for the main vessels in use by the second half of the 24th century. The class participated in the incidents at Wolf 359 and in the opening stages of the Dominion War, but all vessels involved were outmatched and lost in combat. The remaining ships are now used mostly for escort duties and VIP transport.

All praise must go to Bill Krause for designing this ship, I merely put stats on it out of admiration for his work.

That is a sweet design!

[rabid]

/\ agreed. I did a double take when I scrolled past it. It's also not fully loaded with FH-11 and Fp-4's. Power allocation is nice and rounded, looks like a fun ship to play. Fucking kudos man!
