[hider=Intrepid, Online] [b][u][color=red]Something interesting about myself:[/color][/u][/b] I am a huge star trek fan. Star Trek Voyager and Deep Space 9 were my child hood (those and X-Files, Gundam Wing, Dragonball Z, and MASH). I am crazy busy/stressed right now because the store I manage is closing, so I am working closer to 50 hours a week then I want. Despite this, I love RP, and it one of my relaxation things, so I log on and check for updates at least once a day and will post withing a day or two of a GM post, one way or another! [b][u][color=red]Ship Name:[/color][/u][/b] The Intrepid [b][u][color=red]Universe Background:[/color][/u][/b] The Intrepid and her crew come from the young Galaxy of Valor Prime. A Star system that used to be ripe with resources, but the Valori people expanded far to quickly for their resources to support, and turned to space exploration at an early stage. Their ships were meant for deep space harvest and fabrication, but deep space is relative to their small naive scope of the universe. [b][u][color=red]Crew Complement:[/color][/u][/b] Fully staffed the ship employes 175 crewmen, most of them are engineers, mechanics, and scientists. [b][u][color=red]Ship Description:[/color][/u][/b] [hider=My Hider][img] https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/79/6f/69/796f69bfdbcfe6515c6c80ab87655233.jpg[/img][/hider] The Intrepid is unique in that it has what is referred to as a Modular Hull. Due to its purpose of harvest and manufacturing, it has various formations that it can take, depending on the project at hand. During travel it is a simple ring, with the bridge residing at the bottom of the ring. Six thrusters allow the ship movement in any direction from any orientation. When not traveling quickly the ring remains open but has several arms that can be used to manipulate objects outside the ship like other ships for salvage, or asteroids. These arms can also be used for large construction or major repairs to another vessel. The Valori are a peaceful people by nature, after all. Having said that, they are not without their defenses. In a combat situation the inside of the ring is lined with a several photon laser cannons. These can fire individually or together to build a charge blast of considerable power. If might cannot overcome their foe, the ring will collapse and reinforce itself, all resources aside from repair, and life support are diverted to shield generators to keep the deflector array powered up long enough to either discourage attackers, or long enough for reinforcements arrive. Due to the nature of the ship, it is larger than most for its crew size, and do to the relative youth of the Valori people, her technology is low in contrast to some others. But who so any great minds on board, she will be quick to adapt to new technology presented to her. [b][u][color=red]Unique Capabilities:[/color][/u][/b] The Intrepid was intended to build resource platforms for deep space resource mining of moons, asteroids, etc. It is also a science vessel intended for experiments and research. [b][u][color=red]History of the Ship:[/color][/u][/b] The Intrepid was on its way to resource moon 16 (RM-16), or called The Broken Heart by the romantics due its asteroid assaulted form in order to begin construction on the harvest stations. This is the furthest any Valori had traveled from home, but that was what the Intrepid was designed for. As such the ship was relatively well stocked on almost all supplies needed for the journey and has an abundance of raw material for the construction process as the ship had not made it half way to RM-16 before being sucked up into a black hole.
