Another 1 off design that my buddy Brandon built a bit ago for the purposes of our next campaign. Which will involve a volunteer crew of the Unity going off to gather intel on the Tordell Empire!
During the energetic years of 2267 through 2268 R'Archer's efforts to build up several robust designs for the KUSN both for known threats and unknown threats like the Tordell Empire first discovered by the Pride Of Fire during their exploration of the Ur Region of space had seen the KUSN's building capacity pushed to its limits. However, the lack of hard knowledge of the Tordell especially within the halls of the Unity's intelligence branch to which R'Archer was a high ranking member of saw him broach the idea of a small, lone modified scout ship be sent in the direction of the Tordell Empire to attempt to gather more data. After some bartering of favors and choices of what sort of ship to sent, the intelligence bureau settled on a modification of one of the newly built Attack Dog Class IV heavy gunboat.
The gunboat originally christened the HHS Barkmeister was renamed simply to Silentmeister dropping the official HHS from its registry to aide in its cover as a lone unassuming ship if it encountered the Tordell or other possible threats. The ship was gutted of many of its original components to suite this mission and many more automated to reduce the overall crew size and make room for 20 Marines for possible boarding actions, and enlarged cargo bays and science/sensor gathering labs for the mission it was to entail. In short the ship was rebuilt with the KUM-4 computer system, the more power KUWA-2 warp system, and two of the KUID-2 impulse drive systems. All three worked in concert to provide higher processing and analysis capability for the ship, as well much higher speeds and power output then the standard gunboat was capable of originally. The weapon systems were equally overhauled, utilizing the first of the Orion OPH-1 phaser system, overhauled by Unity Engineers as the KOPH-1 and the KUD-5 torpedo system. Ample expansion on the firing arcs were also provided compared to the original gunboat design. The equally common Unity KUSJ shield array rounded out the design. Given the weight and cost the ship was no doubt going to be a one off project and not something given to full scale production at this time. Rounding out the last of the design work was an efficient 'stealth' system that masked much of the ship's warp signature and gave off false ghost readings when powered known as the KUSS-1.
Within several months though the intelligence bureau had completed its modification of the now christened Silentmeister was placed into the command of Commander Rachel Charles, her XO and CE Lt Tom Baker, the ship's CSO and intelligence agent Lt Frank Furter and the ships security/tactical and helm officer Lt Gok Son. This motley mix of a human CO, a human XO, a half human/vulcan CSO, and an Orion helm/security officer were also complimented by 16 more assorted officers/crew and a detachment of 20 marines. With their mission in order the Silentmeister set off into unexplored space to see what may come.
