Alita class

## SPACECRAFT CLASS

Class development project patch (Thomas Marrone).

The ***Alita*-class** was a type of spacecraft developed by Starfleet in the early 25th century. It was derived from the *Akira*-class and was designed as a space control ship (SCS) with sophisticated warning and control (W&C) systems.

## History

The *Alita*-class was developed at the Laikan Starfleet Shipyards.

## Technical specifications

### Tactical systems

Due to its mission pod, the armaments of the *Alita*-class could vary from ship to ship. The armaments housed in the primary hull included eight type-XII phasers on its forward edge, nine Annular Confinement Beam-jacketed type-X phasers, and four Mk 115 variable-payload launch tubes.

A unique system of the design was its Destabilized Tachyon Emitters. These devices allowed *Alitas* to discharge a massive tachyon burst that caused tremendous damage to and played havoc with enemy shield systems.

The initial *Alita* weapon pod, designated WP/C-52, mounted ten Mk 115 launchers and two type-X phasers. The unit also included four Modular Rapid Deployment System compartments. Each compartment could be used to quickly deploy probes, mines, and other equipment and provided *Alitas* with a broader mission profile than their tactical focus.

### Auxiliary craft systems

As a space control ship, the *Alita* was designed with three large shuttlebays. The main facility, Shuttlebay 1, was located at the stern of the primary hull, facing aft. The other two smaller bays were forward facing and flanked the navigational deflector.
