Volteado class

The Volteado-class starship was a multi-use exploratory vessel utilized by the Federation in 2382 and onward. It was colloquially called the "Abstract style-class" due to it's upside down attribution (see Physical arrangement).

The Volteado-class USS Sewell was the Federation flagship ca. 2470s.

General overview
"Agile, smart and astrodynamical. Those are the valteado's attributions."

- Admiral Charelston talking about the Volteado-class The following quote was the three traits given to the Volteado-class. It was an agile, a smart, and a dynamic vessel. The near 30 Volteado-class starships commissioned [as of the 2470s] all had recognized, and in some cases, legendary histories following them.

By 2474, the Volteado-class starships, like the Sewell, were refitted and even more capable than the non-refit. Able to get to surpass a majority of it's original limitations (eg. Warp 12 max.).

In 2475, the screen in astrometrics of the Inventum on the ships in the Primal Delta Squad contained a vessel called "USS McKinley-B", it's class followed bellow and contained a few visible letters which most likely spelled Volteado. Indicating the Volteado was able to make it to the Delta quadrant.

Physical arrangement
Besides being mildly identical to an Ambassador-class starship. The most recognized feature of the Volteado-class ships were their odd upside down feature. This feature was intentional, as the engineers wanted to "spicen up the mood" of Starfleet vessels. It was also for astrodynamic support.

The bridge was located in the center of the descended saucer section and was protected by 2 individual shield generators. The deflector dish was ascended above the bridge by 50-60 m and had a clearer firing range for particle acceleration, deflecting interstellar particles, etc.

The nacelles were 9 m farther back and 2 m higher, it is unknown why that feature was added on. The nacelle pylons were reinforced by ferrotanium and tungsten, although this altogether had a strong tensile strength, wasn't exactly up to full parameters for structural support of the nacelles or any superstructure.

Since it was upside down [by perspective], the area behind the deflector was refitted into a phaser emitter which fired a high-intensity phaser and standard setting.
