Pretty obvious, huh? I wanted to whittle the crew down to the bare basics without intergrating career fields too much. I was going to make the commander the pilot, but I realized that in a combat situation, flying the ship and making tactical accessments and commands could become overwhelming. Now the commander sits back between the pilot and co-pilot, the most ranking between those four being the first and second officers.<p>I'm not really sure of Earth Force lineage, but I did have the SS Valiant in mind. The B-52 mimicking gives this guided missile destroyer a bomber appeal, a smooth fusion of aviation and naval design.<p>I admit, this has been one of the funnest ships to do, and I've aimed to make the webpage reflect the time period by using words than would be replaced by "warp" and "nacelle".<p>And, no one wears Starfleet pajamas--er, uniforms, but flight-suits that can become pressure suits on a moments notice.<p>The Delta Pavonis shipyards was the Antares shipyards until I did some research and discovered Antares is 520ly away.
