- Good work commander!
I also took out the new Odyssey-class on one of its first test runs. We had to test sensors and weapons systems. Unexpectedly we also put the shield array to the test against the Klingon's new ship as well. I'll have to tell you, she sure is a beaut. Her twin neck design is most interesting. Her tech is state-of-the-art and is of the highest standards for Starfleet. It comes equipped with many phaser arrays and quantum-torpedo launchers. Needless to say, it should give the Borg a run for their money...
It is the new flagship standard. I think the U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701-F) will be making her maiden voyage soon as well if I am not mistaken. For now, the U.S.S. Odyssey will remain in the beta testing stages.
I must also make mention of the other ships which were previously under my command.
U.S.S. Parker, NCC-910515, Miranda-class: The U.S.S. Parker, using an older starship chassis made famous by Khan Noonien Singh during the Battle of the Mutara nebula against the well known Admiral James T. Kirk, was named after Parker county - the county of the state in which I live in.
U.S.S. Tarrant, NCC-92700, Constitution-class Refit: The U.S.S. Tarrant, another classic vintage style starship, made famous by James T. Kirk of the original Enterprise, was named after Tarrant county - the county in which I was born in.
U.S.S. Phalanx, NCC-93770, Akira-class: The U.S.S. Phalanx, a torpedo-carrying destroyer originally designed to fight against the Borg collective, is named after the ancient Greek phalanx formation. I use this ship for its maneuverability. Sometimes in battles it is required to be able to outfly your enemy and hit their weak spots. The Phalanx is good for this purpose.
U.S.S. Ares, NCC-93077, Galaxy-class: The U.S.S. Ares, a large powerful exploration vessel capable of battleship and carrier roles, is named after the Greek god Ares of Wisdom and War. I use this ship to fight against the large threats, such as the Borg Collective or the Romulan Star Empire.
U.S.S. Mineral Wells, Danube-class Runabout: The U.S.S. Mineral Wells is a small craft named after the small city of Mineral Wells, a city just west of where I currently live. This shuttle is mainly used for reconnaissance, dogfighting, and making circles around larger vessels, nothing more really. It's got a small amount of armor due to both its size and how it's constructed. It's not meant for large engagements.
