                              Technical Summary
                                 (Chapter 1)

1. POWER SYSTEM. Instead of the classical power system used in
StarFleet vessels (DiLithium mediated deuterium/anti-deuterium
anniahlative reactors),the Cavalier (class ship) uses the
Federation's first Foilated Zero-Point Energy Extraction devices.
Using a stacked series of alternating, oppositely ionically-charged
plates of diamondized Carbon-60 (Buckminister-Fullerine - a.k.a.
Buckey-balls), the Zero-Point fluctuations cause by colliding
molecules are uniformily produced for a steady, and almost
unlimited, power source. The Zero Point devices are controlled by
the insertion of the positive-ionized C-60 plates, which are
alternatively attached to side plates of unionized C-60. As these
plates are inserted into the Zero Point devices, the power
extraction rate increases exponentially. (NOTE: self-destruct, up
to a level that can tear apart an average solar system, is
accomplished by the RAPID insertion of the plates - thus power
level output increases must be carefully regulated to prevent
accidental self-destruction.)

  2. THRUST AND MANEUVERING.  Scaled-down Zero Point devices are
used for this as regular impulse engines are used on other
Federation ships. In an emergency, these thrusters can be used as
long-range beam weapons with a heat level of the surface of the
Earth's sun through the use of rotary-directional shrinking nozzles
with uniform thrust output on all thrusters to maintain ship's
orientation.

  3. INTERSTELLAR DRIVE.  Instead of the standard Warp Drive, the
Cavalier can travel across the Galaxy in an instant thanks to the
Einsteinian Gravitational Molecular Orientator and Rotory device.
(The Magnetic Time drive system is the end product of the discovery
of Albert Einstein's lost papers; which documented how he sent a
sea-vessel into the future by use of alternating
magneto-generators. After cross-referencing with the Entropic Speed
of Light theory (i.e. the net entropy of a system is the result of
the loss of speed of light as time passed, causing an increasingly
smaller value of E for E=mc**2.) and much research, it was
demonstrated that magnetically uniformily oriented molecules can
behave as they would forward or backward in time through the use of
a sequentialy alternating magnetic rotary field to increase the
electrons' orbital speeds. Thus, such a system of matter can
exceed the current speed of light by the appropiate application of
the magnetic rotary field, where the value of c for that system of
matter is closer to the near infinite value of c that it was around
the time of the Big-Bang.)
     The Magnetic Time drive system consist of North and South
magneto-field generators located at the top and bottom of the ship
to get all molecules of the ship in the same N-S gravitational
orientation, and of the alternating rotary magneto-field generators
located evenly around the cirumference of the ship to produce the
time-effect effect. NOTE: the latter is also used for the
anti-matter beam weapon system, as discussed below. Retractable,
scaled-down, standard warp nacelles are available in the event of
a total Magnetic Time drive failure.

4. WEAPONS.
   a. Particle weapons. The Magnetic Time drive circumference
generators can all rotate 90 degrees to create a powerful particle
accelerator that can propel sub-atomic particles to near light
speeds. Aiming and beam control is through escape tubings on each
generator.
   b. Heat beams.  As discussed above, the Zero Point devices
thrusters can be calibrated and aimed for very high intensity heat
beams.
   c. Tele-torpedoes.  Transportable torpedoes with scaled down
Zero Point devices devices. Destructive force of each capable of
destroying moons and smaller planets. Use only on StarFleet Release
Authority!
   d.  Phasers and torpedoes.  Standard versions of each included. 
Note: phasers can be fired for longer as the Zero Point devices are
not energy limited.
  e.  Self-destruct. See notes above in para. 1.
