[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] That's not a bad idea, actually. Right now, I'm referring to it as part of taking another look at dropped Borg-buster ideas for repurposing during the war (currently right after the Jack Pack showed up; previous paragraph mentioned the negotiations where the Dominion wanted Kabrel). Anyway, the section I'm editing is currently written as follows: [QUOTE]The most security surrounded a single starship, USS [i]Prometheus[/i]. What was known at the time was mostly about its appearance: a one-off cruiser-sized vessel some 415 meters in length, with sixteen decks, with a quartet of warp nacelles in an X-form layout and a modern pointed-arrowhead-shape primary hull blending into a linear secondary hull. Much of the remaining data surrounding the ship was heavily classified at the time, and still remains so, but in 2402 limited declassification filled in some gaps. [i]Prometheus[/i] was built in 2372 as a testbed for something called "multi-vector assault": the ship was actually composed of three sections, each warp-capable on its own and able to operate independently of each other. The sections could coordinate their attacks, either manually by a minimal crew from the main bridge atop the one designated "Alpha" or by computer control. The idea was that this single ship could become a small flotilla of light, maneuverable, and heavily-armed starships to swarm and overpower an enemy. The original proposal called for a total of 25 of the ships (75 segments in all) as anti-Borg defenders; unknown circumstances killed the project after the initial prototype NX-74913. Some mission data was included in the declassification, but much of the details have been redacted. What is publicly known about the ship's wartime career is that it was involved in several clandestine missions in the latter half of the war near Romulan space and deep within Dominion-held territory.[/QUOTE]So yeah, definitely merit in some of your ideas.
