Appendix
| General Notes | In the first decade of the 25th century, the galaxy united to fight off the threat of an extra-galactic race known as the Kem D'Neel. During this war the Starfleet Spacecraft Design Advisory Committee (SSDAC) first laid plans for a new type of starship which could serve as a mobile platform for intelligence and diplomatic missions. Following the end of the war in 2412 the project was cancelled. In 2417 the SSDAC re-opened the project, changing the proposed mission focus of the Investigator-class from Intelligence to Exploration. Ten starships were constructed according to new designs, omitting a proposed cloaking device in favour of enhanced sensors, a new probe complement, and a modern stellar cartography system. The Investigator-class has been Starfleet's most successful long-range explorator yet, combining high speed, strong defensive systems and a state-of-the-art computer system into one package. The one weakness of the design was the need for four nacelles to power the ship. Designers temporarily solved the problem by dramatically increasing the number of shield generators to the stern, but this was not regarded as a long term solution. When the USS DISCOVERY was reactivated in 2429, heavy ablative armour was added around the nacelles for extra protection. |
