Vanguard Command[]

The USS Adamant was launched in 2384 from the Coronalis Frontier Fleet Yards and was commissioned in 2385 as part of the Vanguard Fleet, the mobile arm of Vanguard Command.

As part of Vanguard Command, the USS Adamant's capabilities include:

Offensive capabilities[]

Defensive capabilities[]

  • Enhanced and redundant structural integrity fields, which exponentially increased the ship's ability to maintain the integrity and shape of hulls and bulkheads against the extreme stresses caused by warp fields, weapons, and other motion.
  • Ablative hull armor and ablative armor plating, which rapidly dissipates the energy impacts from directed energy weapon fire and makes the ship endure massive weapons fire even after its shield have been overpowered.
  • Enhanced, regenerative, redundant, reinforced, multiphasic, multispectrum, unimatrix defensive shields, which protects the ship from energy weapons and torpedoes for an exponentially longer duration and makes the ship's hull capable of withstanding extremes of temperature and pressure.
  • Microdiffracted carbon hull coating that absorbs all visible radiation that fell upon it, making it as black as the space it moved through.
  • A sensor stealth system which masked the ship's warp signature and helped avoid detection during covert operations. Custom-designed warp coil insulators reduced its energy signature almost to nil. As long as radio silence was maintained, the ship could cruise unnoticed through the void.

Propulsion capabilities[]

  • Enhanced impulse engines that can attain sub-light velocities of 0.95c and faster-than-light velocities of Warp 1.2, allowing the ship to escape supernovas if the warp drive unexpectedly went offline.
  • An enhanced maneuvering thruster array with retro-thrusters, which exponentially increased the ship's sub-light agility despite its size.
  • A Khronnian enhanced warp drive that allows it to travel at a normal cruise speed of Warp 8.5 and a top sustained speeds of Warp 9.5.
  • A quantum slipstream drive that allows the ship to travel 300 light years in an hour, though in 10 hour bursts every 6 hours only due to the ship's configuration.

Other capabilities[]

Task Force Viceroy[]

The USS Adamant was placed under the command of Captain Geordi La Forge and attached to Task Force Viceroy, the mobile arm of Anuva Command, operating in the Delta Quadrant, with headquarters at Deep Space Delta-01. Both Task Force Viceroy and Anuva Command were under the overall command of Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway. The USS Adamant was designated as the secondary flagship of Task Force Belligerent.

Condition Green[]

During Condition Green, the USS Adamant would travel with one Saber-class Fast Frigate and one Merian-class Fast Frigate

Condition Green - Sovereign

Condition Yellow[]

Under Condition Yellow, the USS Adamant would serve as the flagship of Mission Group Bravo and was accompanied by one Prometheus-class Assault Cruiser, one Norway-class Heavy Frigate, one Intrepid-class Light Cruiser, two Saber-class Fast Frigates, two Merian-class Fast Frigates, two Diligent-class Tactical Frigates, and two Defiant-class Tactical Frigates.

Condition Yellow[]

Under Condition Red-1, the USS Adamant would serve as the flagship of Strike Group Two, and was accompanied by the Luna-class Heavy Cruiser USS Mimas, the Akira-class Heavy Cruiser USS Shamshir, two Prometheus-class Assault Cruiser, two Norway-class Heavy Frigates, two Intrepid-class Light Cruisers, four Saber-class Fast Frigates, four Merian-class Fast Frigates, four Diligent-class Tactical Frigates, and four Defiant-class Tactical Frigates, which was half of the starships of Task Force Viceroy.
