The USS Endurance was a Sovereign-class Federation Command Cruiser in active service to Starfleet during the late 24th century.
The Sovereign class Command Cruiser USS Endurance.
Vanguard Command[]
The USS Endurance was launched in 2384 from Coronalis Frontier Fleet Yards and was commissioned in 2385 as part of Vanguard Command.
As part of Vanguard Command, the USS Endurance's capabilities included:
Offensive capabilities[]
- Type-XII phaser arrays.
- Mark-XII pulse phaser cannons.
- A full payload of Khronnian enhanced high-yield photon torpedoes, which were almost powerful as standard quantum torpedoes.
- The capacity to launch quantum torpedoes and transphasic torpedoes, the latter only as a last resort.
- A diverse and combat-modified complement of auxiliary crafts.
- A 10-man Starfleet Commando Force for special away team missions and even black ops mission.
Defensive capabilities[]
- Enhanced and redundant structural integrity fields, which exponentially increase 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, 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.
- Ablative generators, which generated a nearly-impenetrable layer of armor around the hull of the ship.
- Enhanced, regenerative, redundant, reinforced, multiphasic, multispectrum, unimatrix defensive shields, which protect the ship from energy weapons and torpedoes for an exponentially longer duration and make 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 masks the ship's warp signature and helps 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.
- Advanced external holographic emitters, which give the ship the ability to alter its appearance by disguising itself as another object, such as an asteroid.
Propulsion capabilities[]
- Enhanced impulse engines that can attain sub-light velocities of 0.95c and faster-than-light velocities of Warp 1.2 in short bursts, allowing the ship to escape supernovas if the warp drive unexpectedly went offline.
- An enhanced maneuvering thruster array with retro-thrusters, which exponentially increase 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[]
- Bio-neural circuitry, which could process information more efficiently, and therefore speed up computer response time.
- Advanced holodecks for scientific and engineering research and for crew recreation.
- An Industrial replicator that could produce starship parts for repair and standard torpedo components for construction.
- A full Long-term Holographic Program Package composed of:
- 2 Mark-I Long-term Command and Navigation Holograms (LCNH)
- 3 Mark-I Long-term Security and Tactical Holograms (LSTH); 1 Hirogen, 1 Gorn, 1 Pahkwa-thanh
- 3 Mark-I Long-term Engineering Holograms (LEH)
- 2 Mark-II Long-term Medical Holograms (LMH)
- 2 Mark-I Long-term Health Care Holograms (LHCH)
- 2 Mark-I Long-term Science Holograms (LSH)
Rapid Reaction Force[]
In 2385, the USS Endurance was placed under the command of Captain Gril Magnusson, a veteran Starfleet officer. It was attached directly to Vanguard Command as part of a Rapid Reaction Force within the command's area of responsibility whenever a crisis was imminent. It was also deployed for diplomatic missions: shipping ambassadors, admirals and other high-ranking dignitaries from world to world. The ship operated from out of Station Frontier, the headquarters of Vanguard Command.
Most of the time, the USS Endurance takes on missions alone. But when necessary, it is teamed up with one or two other starships of the RRF.
