USS Hathaway

## History/Command

The *USS Hathaway NCC-2593* is a Constellation class starship launched from the Copernicus Fleet Yards from Luna, Sol Sector in 2285. During it's lifetime, many Captains have been in command of the *Hathaway*, with it being currently in the command of Captain Cmdr Computer Although an aging ship, it is still currently in service, but is relegated to mostly scientific duties.

## Ship Information

Measuring in at a length of 310 meters the class was considered a medium-sized starship of her era, coming in at around the same size as the Constitution-class 2270 refit. Her 4 warp nacelles work together to mitigate wear and tear, thereby minimizing the time required in dry dock after assignments. However, the original warp core designed for the class had problems resulting in the class being outfitted with a lower-powered model. while still providing a great deal of power it did restrict the class to a cruising speed of warp 6 and a maximum emergency speed of warp 8.5. to make up for this lack of speed she was equipped with some of the best sensors star fleet had to offer at the time. In 2367 the Hathaway was ordered to the San Francisco fleet shipyards to being the process of decommissioning and to be put in the mothball fleet. However, this process was paused after the battle of wolf 359. Currently, the Hathaway is used for scientific and transport duties, as well as making up the backbone of a larger fleet. The Hathaway is one of many aging Starfleet vessels brought up to modern standards through refits, with another notable vessel being the USS Columbia

As of Stardate 44189, the *Hathaway* has recieved a slight-refit with upgraded engines, tractor beam control, experimental cloaking device and warp core.

## Detailed Decks

### Deck 1

Deck 1, the main hub of the *Hathaway* found at the saucer section consists of both the Bridge and the Ready Room

#### The Bridge

The Bridge is the primary control hub for all Starfleet ships, where all main information and controls are routed through, allowing the Captain to gain information on his/her ship and any potential threats.

The control stations, from left to right, back to front (not counting the large stations at the back): Science, Engineering, Mission OPS/Sector Scan, Command Chair, Tactial, Helm and Operations

* Tactical: Tactical Readout, Weapon Spread Control, Shield Toggle, Ship Targeting, Weapon Type Control.
* Science: Scan target vessel.
* Helm: Ship flight.
* Operations: Communications and Warp Control

#### Ready Room

The Ready Room is the main relaxation and office space for a Captain, aside from their personal quarters, allowing them to write reports, accept personal messages, have private meetings with crew members and more while being close to the bridge in case of an event needing the Captain. The ready room also contains the ship logs.

### Deck 2

Due to the small size and much less decks than the more modern *Galaxy-class*, most of the vital functions of the *Hathaway* are found on deck 2, such as the Transporter Room and Engineering.

#### Locations

* Transporter Room / Armoury: The Transporter Room on the *Hathaway* is, like other ships, able to recieve and send transport signals including both personnel and objects of use. It is a sophisticated piece of machinery and can only be handled by those in the divisions of Command, Engineering or Security or be above the rank Lieutenant. This transporter room **does not** include a forcefield. Please note that transport signals will be blocked if trying to beam through an object or shields. The transporter room also includes a small armoury with "Cobra" Type-2 Phasers and Handcuffs.
* Engineering: Main Engineering is where the *Hathaway's* warp core is located for use in both power and ftl travel is located. Take care when handling the core, as stray weapons fire can cause an explosive reaction and there is no forcefield device installed around the warp core.
* Sickbay: The main area where injuries, diseases and other medical problems are treated by medical staff, the surgical bed also comes equipped with a forcefield toggled by a tricorder. Off to the side of sickbay is the Chief Medical Officer's office and a waiting area.

### Deck 3

Deck 3 includes the Shuttlebay, where incoming and outgoing shuttles are found and stored. Shuttles are used to travel to locations where transporters are unfeasible or otherwise not needed for the mission, such as atmospheric disturbance, shielded stations and ships, etc.

## Tactics

If forced into a combat situation, try to manuver and use the ships small size to it's advantage. Note that the ships weapons are not as powerful as more up-to-date Starfleet vessels. Consider either fleeing or sending a distress signal, as the *Hathaway* can be easily destroyed by more powerful opponents, such as the Romulan Warbird. The *Hathaway* works best as a support vessel, able to assist with defeating hostiles when a friendly, much larger ship takes the major hits.
