Interlude Enterprise Storm-Era Auxiliary Craft (007 SDE-???)
🕑 Added 2025-08-16 19:05:32 +0000 UTCSF-1204 Deathhawk:
Role: Space Superiority Fighter
Main Engine: Dual Core Particle Pulse Wave Engine Mark II
Default Armament: 4 Mark III Compression Particle Cannons, 4 Light Missile Launchers, 2 torpedo launchers, 2 Light Pulsar launchers.
Total Weapon Mounts: 12
Standard Crew: 1
Armor: 12 centimeters uniform Overlord type plating Gen III
Defense systems: Type I Energy Web Projector
Notes: Originally launched with the Enterprise as the X-1204, this highly advanced space fighter is the backbone of her fighter fleet. Highly modular, her armaments and equipment can be swapped out to fit other roles, as required. Her recent updates thanks to the fighter update program has given her a pair of mounted pulsar launchers located on the ventral base of the wings right up against the hull taking advantage of unused mounting ports that had previously been left unused, a holdover from early development when the 1204 was still taking design clues from her immediate predecessor the SF-1137 Nighthawk. In addition, she’s gained armor updates that allow her to draw energy from the storm, greatly reducing fuel requirements. By default, she carries 10 missiles and eight torpedoes.
SFB-1208 Sparrow:
Role: Heavy Strike Bomber
Main Engine: Twin Tri-Core Particle Pulse Wave Engines Mark II
Default Armament: Twin Heavy Compression Particle Cannon Mark III, two torpedo launchers, dual pulsar launcher, dorsal mounted light triple particle cannon turret
Total Weapon Mounts: 7
Standard Crew: 2
Armor: 35 centimeters uniform Overlord Plating Gen III
Defense Systems: Type II Energy Web Projector
Notes: Also a recent beneficiary of the fighter update program. The extra space gained from the new changes was largely put into upgrading her standard sensor package, in order to remove the need to swap out the second seat when sending the Sparrow out on recon missions. By default the Sparrow carries eight torpedoes and six bombs for use against enemy warships.
AGS-1205 Aquila:
Role: Multirole Combat Shuttle
Common Roles: Gunship, Boarding Shuttle, Combat landing transport, Light Bomber, Mobile Fighter rearmament platform
Main Engine: Twin Dual Core Particle Pulse Wave Engines Mark II
Default Armament: 4 spinal mounted heavy compression particle cannons Mark III, forward torpedo launcher. 4 dual particle turrets mounted port and starboard, dorsal mounted dual pulsar turret
Total Weapon Mounts: 10
Standard Crew: 4
Armor: 55 centimeters uniform Overlord Plating Gen III
Defense Systems: Type II Energy Web Projector
Notes: Perhaps one of the most dramatic recipients of the program, the X-1205 has been the workhorse of the Enterprise’s shuttle fleet. Highly modular and able to fit a wide variety of roles, the inclusion of more advanced engines, armor updates, and system updates allowed her default loadout to be upped to match the kind of threats they were seeing. Most important was the development of a turret capable of fitting two pulsar launchers, which was added to the ship’s dorsal mounting ports. The ship's small cockpit is designed to allow a crew of four to effectively operate the vehicle and include a pilot, copilot, and two other officers. The 1205 can carry up to twenty marines and a tank, or be outfitted to serve as mobile pilot’s barracks with stowage for a hundred fighter missiles. She can carry up to ten warheads for her single launcher, either photon bombs or torpedoes. As shuttles go she is fairly large at 35 meters long and features a ventral docking port allowing her to dock with a single fighter in the field, this same port is also useful for boarding operations and is fitted with a short-range plasma cutter for burning through the hull of a hostile ship.
HFS-1268 Arctic:
Role: Heavy Cargo Shuttle, Mobile Lab/ Industrial Workhorse
Main Engine: Four Quintuple-Core Particle Pulse Wave Engines Mark II
Secondary Cruise Engines: Twin Dual Core Particle Pulse Wave Engines Mark II
Default Armament: None
Total Weapon Mounts: Zero
Standard Crew: 20
Armor: 120 centimeters uniform Overlord Plating Gen III
Defenses: Type III Energy Web Projector
Notes: The Industrial workhorse of the Enterprise’s fleet, the Enterprise has fifty of these bad girls. Effectively small freighters measuring 125 meters long with a span of seventy meters and three decks of internal space they have a lot of volume for industrial activity. Excellent cargo haulers already, the improved engines and armor updates derived from the fighter update program have greatly improved their viability. Being modular, the labs and industrial sectors compete often for use permits of these ships. Lacking armaments, they must be protected and are often escorted by the smaller 1205 in gunship configuration and SF-1204 fighters.
CSH-1277 Vulcan:
Role: Combat Dropship
Main Engine: Three Quad-Core Particle Pulse Wave Engines Mark II
Default Armament: Eight Triple Compression Particle Turrets, mounted port and starboard. Twelve VLS Photon Missile Launchers, Fore and Aft torpedoes 4;2
Total weapon mounts: 26
Standard Crew: 18
Armor: 188 centimeters uniform Overlord Plating Gen III
Defenses: Type III Energy Web Projector, twelve twin point defense turrets
Notes: The 1277 is something we haven’t seen much of. Designed for transporting heavy vehicles such as the Scorpion and moving large numbers of troops it is intended primarily for use during planetary assault. The vehicle is not small by any measure and like the Arctic is effectively a small freighter, a heavily armed and armored one. In fact she’s bigger than the Arctic at 225 meters long with a span of 115. Like the Arctic, she also has three decks. All that space gives her the cargo capacity to carry a Scorpion, four tanks and up to a thousand marines and their equipment including required vehicles at once. The ship is also a mobile fortress, making her a tempting prospect for use as a heavy gunship. Ideas to fit her with pulsar turrets have been floated.
SLC-1202:
Role: Armed Personnel Shuttle
Main engine: Single Core Particle Pulse Wave Engine Mark II
Default Armament: Dual Light Particle cannons
Total Weapon Mounts: 2
Standard Crew: 2
Armor: 15 centimeters Overlord Armor
Defenses: No systems
Notes: Slightly larger than the SH-1201 the 1202 is armored and equipped with light armaments. Intended for intraship transfers, she lacks significant protections. The Enterprise carries ten of these and twenty of her unarmed cousin the SH-1201. Both ships can carry up to twenty people in benches in the rear compartment.
