Looking for Intrepid-class data to do a comparison for a fan-fic design I hope to present soon. If anybody has some dimensions, a cut-away, and whatever information you can find, please post it here. I don't know if the size of voyager is a contested issue, but a range would be just as useful.

Thanks.

The Intrepid class has an official length of 1130 ft / 344.4 meters.

I've uploaded a schematics pic (made by 'The Vorlon'):

I've collected canon information for my Intrepid class write-up for UP3, a good deal of time ago. I hope the following helps, although there is limited useful canon info:

Category: short-term explorer
Crew: 141
Decks: 15
Mass: 700,000 metric tonnes
Warp engines: Class 9 M/ARA warp core
Emergency speed: warp 9.975

And additionally, I've calculated width and height by measuring the schematics in the Encyclopedia (II).

Width: 133m
Height: 70m

Beautiful schematics! I don't know if this is pertinent, but an intriguing side fact is that Voyager has an auxiliary warp core. I don't think it's been brough up in any episode, but it's in the cutaway, and in the little "Captain's Chair" program by Interplay, it's a labelled component on the interactive MSD in the back of the bridge. It requires "extensive extravehicular procedures" to be installed in engineering.

Rick Sternbach has said that it's not a fully operational warp core, but instead is just a spare parts "core".

Right, Voyager doesn't have two warp cores. But if they had to eject their primary core and it exploded, they'd be able to "build" a new one relatively quickly, instead of being forced to return to spacedock for extensive refitting. A handy feature for a long-range starship. (Though I doubt Voyager's Starfleet designers actually had the Delta Quadrant in mind when they included it...)

Has there ever been any info on whether the Enterprise-E also has a spare core? They ejected the warp core in "Insurrection" and Geordi said they were "fresh out of warp cores." But that doesn't necessarily rule out an incomplete spare like Voyager, does it?

All the MSDs of the E-E don't show the presence of a spare parts core.

Neophyte to ANY BBs here - so please bear with me if I do not get the protocols correct right off the mark.

I noticed the "spare parts warp core" when I picked up the book "A Vision of the Future - Star Trek Voyager".

Regarding the existance of same on the Ent-E - some possible reasons why we can't see it on the Master Display Panel:

1) If one (or two - since you'd be fairly screwed losing your only warp core several thousand parsecs from a base or relay station) was to be stowed in an off-axis cargo bay (in disassembled pieces) - it would not necessarily show on the Master Display Panel.

2) Since hostiles communicating to a vessel can often see said panel behind the officer they are speaking to - it might make sense (more than I've noticed Starfleet's designers possessing) NOT to include it on the panel.
