    • Deflectors and Shields

  • The deflector system is the primary defensive system on all classes of starships. It is a series of powerful deflector shields that protect both the spacecraft and its crew from both natural and artificial hazards.
  • Like most force field devices, the deflector system creates a localized zone of highly focused spatial distortion within which an energetic graviton field is maintained. The deflector field itself is imitted and shaped by a series of conformal transmission grids on the spacecraft exterior, resulting in a field that closely follows the form of the vehicle itself. The field is highly resistive due to mechanical incursions ranging from relativistic subatomic particles to more massive objects at lesser relative velocities. When such an intrusion occurs, field energy is concentrated at the point of impact, creating an intense, localized spatial.
  • To an observer aboard the Odyssey, it appears that the intruding object has "bounced off" the shield. A zero-dimensional observer on the intruding object would, however, perceive that his/her trajectory is unaffected, but that the location of the starship has suddenly changed. This is somewhat analogous to the spacial distortion created by a natural gravity well, and is typically accompanied by a momentary discharge of Cerenkov radiation, often perceived as a brief blue flash. The deflector is also effective against wide range of electromagnetic, nuclear, and other radiated and field energies.
  • The deflector systems utilizes one or more graviton polarity source generators whose output is phase-synchronized through a series of subspace field distortion amplifiers. Flux energy for the Primary Hull is generated by 7 field generators located on deck 10. The Galaxy class starships had 5 generators on deck 10. Four addition generators are located on the Secondary Hull. This number has been upgraded also. The Galaxy class starships had three generators on the Secondary Hull. Two additional generators are located in each of the warp nacelles. Each generator consists of a cluster of fourteen 42 MW graviton polarity sources feeding a pair of 675 millicochrane subspace field distortion amplifiers. On the Galaxy class starship each generator consisted of a cluster of twelve 32 MW graviton polarity sources feeding a pair of 625 millochrane subspace field distortion amplifiers.
  • Providing shielding against the entire spectrum of electromagnetic radiation would prove far to energy-costly for normal cruise mode use. Additionally, a full-spectrum shielding would prevent onboard sensors from gathering many types of scientific and tactical data. Instead, Cruise Mode operate at the relatively low level (approximately 5% of rated output) and at the specific frequency bands necessary to protect the spacecraft's habitable volume to SFRA-standard 347.3 levels for EM and nuclear radiation. During Alert situations, shields are raised to defensive configuration by increasing generator power to at least 83% of rated output.
  • The Odyssey is able to transfer power directly from the Plasma Venting System to the shields. This allows the shields to increase 6.7 % in times on emergency. The Odyssey is the second ship in Starfleet to be able to do this. The Odyssey can also use the deflector dish to add more power to the front shields. This is obtained using a Starfleet Megaflux Simmulator. This can increase shield power by 3.2 %.
  • The metaphasic shield was introduced about 3 years ago by a Ferengi scientist. However, with recent improvements made by Starfleet has made the type one metaphasic shield seem obsolete. By using the main deflector dish we have been able to enhance the metaphasic shield. The new metaphasic shield has been classified as the type II metaphasic shield which operates at 200% of optimal compared to the old metaphasic shield. It allows the ship to stay in standard orbit around a star for generally around 24 hours before the radiation penetrates the shield.

    • Long Range Sensors and Holographic Scanner

  • The long range sensors include a holographic scanner that will allow the Odyssey to scan adjacent sectors and display a graphical representation of whatever is in that sector. A cloaked vessel would generate a outline of it.

    • Phasers

  • Main Phasers: 10 Banks/2 Each
  • As installed in the Galaxy class, the main ship's phasers are rated as type X, which once was the largest emitter available for starships. They were capable of producing 5.1 megawatts. The Odyssey has a type X upgraded version 6.7 . This is capable of producing 6.7 megawatts.
  • The Odyssey also has two Version 88.9 Plasma Shunt Phasers (PSP), located in the front of the saucer. These are capable of producing 5.9 megawatts. This adds greatly to the fire power of the Odyssey.
  • A typical large phaser array aboard the USS Enterprise consists of two hundred emitter segments in a dense linear arrangement for optimal control of firing order, thermal effects, field halos, and target impacts. The USS Odyssey has 230 emitter segments. Groups of emitters are supplied by redundant sets of energy feeds from the primary trunks of the electro plasma system (EPS), and are similarly interconnected by fire control, thermal management, and sensor lines. The visible hull surface configuration of the phaser is a long shallow raised strip, the bulk of the hardware submerged within the vehicle frame.
  • The first stage of the array segment is the EPS submaster flow regulator, the principal mechanism controlling phaser power levels for firing. The flow regulator leads into the plasma distribution manifold (PDM), which branches into two hundred supply conduits to an equal number of prefire chambers. The final stage of the system is the phaser emitter crystal.

    • Photons

  • The standard photon torpedo carried by the Galaxy class is elongated, eliptical tube, constructed of molded and expanded duranium and plasma bonded terminium outer skin. The complete casing of the Galaxy class torpedoes measured 2.1 x 0.76 v 0.45 meters and masses 247.5 kilograms dry weight.
  • Galaxy class photon torpedoes use a multimode sustainer engine that is capable of almost breaking the warp barrier. The Odyssey torpedoes have engine modifications that decrease weight, as above, and slightly increase speed and target accuracy. Accuracy is speculated to have collision within 0.75 meters of the true target or closer, to be proven in tests done later this year.
  • The actual firing operation occurs in two launcher tubes, one within the connecting dorsal on Deck 25, and one aft above the support pylon wing on Deck 35. The launcher is downstream from four loader stations where the M/A fuels are injected into four torpedoes at one time in the Galaxy class weapons.

    • Plasma Torpedoes

  • The USS Odyssey is also equipt with 90 Plasma Torpedoes. These torpedoes are used in an event in which you do not want a large explosion, caused by a photon. The Plasma Torpedoes are stored on Deck 15, Section 8. They are fired throught the Photon Torpedo ports. The Plasma Torpedoes are Version 8.90pT.
  • The USS Odyssey is equipt with 10 Plasma Torpedoes, Version 8.91dT. These are specifically designed for knocking out the engines of a ship with no shields up.
