[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Right here. http://talk.trekweb.com/articles/2001/07/27/996253026.html Juicy bits follow: The Starship Enterprise is state-of-the-art. At 190 meters, 80,000 metric tons and a crew compliment of 87, she brandishes laser cannons and spatial torpedoes. Shuttlepods can hold a pilot and six passengers (note to producers: don't put all seven of your regular castmembers in one shuttlepod!), travel at sub-warp speeds and are used for away missions to planes, ships or space stations. Launched through bomb bay doors by a magnetic arm, the pods are released after being positioned below the ship. The ship's galley is stocked with traditional foodstuffs, but features an early replicator called a protein re-sequencer that produces a limited range of items such as pasta or drinks. Meals are prepared by Captain Archer's hand-picked chef and served either in the Mess Hall or Archer's private mess, where frequent guests are Tucker and T'Pol. Transporters are only for cargo, though throughout the first season the crew will refine the technology for bio-matter traffic. Without the bio-filters of the 24th century, any time crewmembers return to the ship with foreign agents along for the ride, they must apply decontaminating gel in the cramped Decon Chamber. Away teams will carry phase pistols and communicators with primitive universal translators built-in. But Hoshi's linguistic skills will often be needed. The crew must use touch-panel intercoms to converse throughout the ship. Without shields or forcefields, the Enterprise is equipped with polarized hull plating that leaves the ship vulnerable when retracted. There are no phaser banks, though Malcom Reed may "invent" this technology down the road. Enterprise does have retractable turrets that emerge from the hull to fire plasma-charged artillery. Long-range communications are only possible at warp speed, so contacting Starfleet will be sparse. Be aware that much of this information may have changed or may change as the series unfolds on screen. Many times, elements in a series bible never materialize for various reasons. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
