Mission

The Neptune-class

is an intra-system defense

vessel. Although the

Neptune is warp-capable,

that warp drive is only

rarely used, and even then

to transfer Neptunes to a

system for permanent

defense.

Features

The Neptune-class is armed with

low-yield phase cannons and spatial

torpedoes, standard armament for early 22nd

century Earth starships. Its hull polarization

grid allows the ship significantly better

protection than the hull armor of prior eras,

though it is nothing compared to a true

shield grid.

Background

United Earth, once it began

exploring beyond the confines of the Sol

system, began encountering belligerent if

not outright hostile alien species. The

United Earth Starfleet responded by

fielding one of its first true starship

designs, the Neptune. Though lacking the

firepower of many alien starship designs, it

made up for this through sheer numbers.
