It's non-canon I made for the Earth-Romulan war.


the ship itself.


Deck 1(aka the Bridge).


Deck 2


Deck 3

there is a fourth deck, but it contains only the plasma cannons, fuel tanks, service crawlways (aka Jefferies Tubes) and other stuff like that, so I didn't draw it.

EDIT. changed title to fit the thread.

this the timeline I made up for the war.

21.6.2155:Raports increased raids by Orion pirates start to apear.

24.6.2155:The Romulan Star Empire accuses United Earth of selling arms to Orion Pirates.

25.6.2155:The Vulcan High Command suggest a multispecies investigation into the Orion raids, Romulans decline and declere war on Earth.

1.8.2155:Vulcans join the war on Humans side, but stay away from the battlelines

25.10.2155:The starship Mannerheim sends distress call.

30.10.2155:The Mannerheim is found adrift by the Enterprise (NX-01)

10.11.2155:Enterprise arrives at Earth with survivors of Mannerheim's crew and some very important integence.

23.11.2155:Integence from the Mannerheim proves that the Romulans were behind the new weapons the Orion pirates used in their raids. The Andorians and Tellerites join the war

4.12.2155:A spy is detected, inside the Goverment of United Earth, but who he/she is remains unknown.

6.12.2155 - 5.6.2156:The first outercolonies campain. Starfleet suffers immense casualties, but is able to stop the Romulan advance in the end.

1.7.2156 - 1.2.2158:Operation Counterstrike, 1st Strike fleet (lead by the Enterprise (NX-01)) and 2nd Strike fleet (lead by the Columbia (NX-02)),
with help from Andorians and Tellerites force the Romulan back to their pre-war borders.

4.3.2158 - 6.7.2158:The Second outercolonies campain. The Romulan try to retake what they lost, but succeed only partly while suffering heavy casulaties.

1.8.2158:The Battle of Earth. A large Romulan fleet attacks Earth in attempt to capture the President (or equilevant) of United Earth,
Secretary of State Berman is revealed to be the Romulan agent and shot peices by MACOs during the failed kidnap attempt.

20.8.2158 - 1.6.2159:The Andorian campain. the Romulan attack the Andorian Empire for helping Earth, in the the campain is unsuccesfull and the Romulans have retreat.

3.6.-12.12.2159: Operation Overkill. A huge Earth/Ardorian/Vulcan/tellerate task force begins to attack the Romulan held space.

1.1.2160 - 2.6.2160: Operation Final Blow, Starfleeet proceed to take back few of Earth colonies still held by Romulan Forces.


2.6.2160:The Battle of Cheron, A large Romulan fleet is defeated.

5.6.2160:Romulan Star Empire surrenders via voice only subscape transmission, The Neutral Zone is formed and the Earth-Romulan war ends.

OK the is capable of Warp 4 (for few hours) and is armed with 6 Plasma cannons and 2 standard Torp Tubes (that normally use Spatial torps, but are capable of launching Photonic Torps as well).

EDIT:It also has a crew of 66 men (max)

EDIT: the ship is in total from leading edge of saucer to end of the nacelles 57 meters in length.

Now a enhanced version (not that anyone would care).

bottom view.

fire at will !


as seen in the pic the plasma cannon are located this way: 2 flanking the Nav deflector next to the torp tubes, 2 flanking the lower sensor dome and 2 in bulb in the aft part of the engineering section.

No comments?

Very nice, especially the timeline.

Secretary of State Berman.

What Trekkie hasn't had dreams about empting a Plasma rifle or Phaser (or any wepon for that matter) into Berman and since he's Producer in reallife making him a Redshirt instead high raking spy didn't just feel right (besides it would have been an insult to the Redshirts).

EDIT: not that I would ever try to execute those dreams.

It all looks good, I like the ship - its got some real meat to it. I'm afraid I am not knowledgable enough in Treknology/history to give further comments but I found it interesting

well most of is made by me (the names Enterprise and Columbia and year and location of the Battle of Charon are canon)

EDIT:if you want any reference of this others of it's era, it's less then half of length of the saucer section of the NX-class.

EDIT2:Also the fact that the even the peace treaty was voice only is also canon.

As I said in the other thread, it's one of the better Steamtrepid varients that I've seen.

OK this typical crew compliment of Pathfinder class starship.

Command- section
CO (aka the "captain") - commader

Helm/Nav - section
1 NCO/senior crewmen
3 Crewmen

Medical - section
CMO - Lieutenant
2 Nurses/Medical techs - crewmen

Science/Sensors - section
1 Officer - Lieutenant
14 sensor techs - crewmen

Communication - section
1 Officer - Ensign
10 comm techs - crewmen

Engineering
1 officer - ensign
14 techs -crewmen

Tactical
1 officer - Ensign
8 gunners/weapon techs -crewmen
1 MACO Sergeant
1 MACO Corpral
6 MACO Troopers

66 crew members in total (though not all of them are in duty at the same time).

EDIT:some changes to the crew.

Name:Pathfinder class
Type:scout/patrol ship
Length:57 m
Standard cruise speed: Warp 2
Max speed: Warp 3.5 (for few hours)
Power system:Simple Impulse
Weapons: 2 torpedo tubes and 6 Plasma cannons
Crew compliment: 66 men


Name:Pathfinder class (upgrated)
Type:scout/patrol ship
Length:57 m
Standard cruise speed: Warp 3
Max speed: Warp 4 (for few hours)
Power system:M/AM warpcore
Weapons: 2 torpedo tubes and 6 Plasma cannons
Crew compliment: 66 men

The Pathfinder is light scout/patrol ship used UESPA Starfleet to locate any threats to it's fleet or the citizens of United Earth. Orginally designed in 2122 using a simple Impulse powerplant all of the Pathfinders were upgrated in 2154 to use M/AM Warpcores and served with distinction in Earth Romulan war.



OK this bit longer version of stats and some history for the ship.

Medical - section
CMO - Lieutenant
2 Nurses - crewmen
2 Medical techs - crewmen

That's an awful lot of medical personnel for such a small ship. You'd think they'd have one dedicated doctor, perhaps two or three regular crewman with basic med training, and teach the others CPR for emergencies.

One question : does this ship have any sort of auxiliary craft ? Perhaps one or two pods for external inspections ?

Otherwise, it's great. I'm not too fond of the lines, but maybe that's because I'm having trouble visualising it in 3D. Nice attention to detail.

Bounty wrote:One question : does this ship have any sort of auxiliary craft ? Perhaps one or two pods for external inspections ?

being almost the size of a shuttle it self there isn't really that much room anything like that (that's why this thing has a Transporter though it's possible I might add something).

well med techs handle biological agents (aka germs) the crew might find during a scouting missions (anyway I did cut med crew to half of what it was).

First pic of battle of Earth.

just the United Earth fleet.

Pic 2 (the Romulan fleet)


pic 3 (so it begins)

Pic 4 (the battle rages on)


Comment would be appreciated (if they're constructive and mature of course).

I does any know what font was used in the NX-class proto LCARS system and it's possible get hold of that font from anywere in the Net.

Edit:is there good samples of ENT computer interface, I could use to make consols on the pathfiders-class' bridge?

Are all the Federation ships sporting battle damage? If so, why do none of the Romulan craft seem to have any (aside from those blowing up of course)?

No Romulan ship are blowing up there's two that have gotten hit by Spatial torp and one that rammed by a Pathfinder (it Earth ship's warpcore not the Romulan ship that blows up (though the romulans is also destroyed), so answer your first question, yes only Earth ships have battle damage at this point (and they're Earth, not Fedaration ships).

Pic 5(the re-enforsments arrive)

pic 6 (the Romulans retreat)

Oooh, I like the lighting effects.

On the ship, tis a pretty small gunship sized craft. I do like your deck plans though there doesn't seem to be much 'equipment' or dedicated space for all the stuff.

I'd also like to see how it looks from different vantage points.

I tend not draw stuff like (equipment) in too much detail due the lack of skill/software.

as different views I might try to do that.

EDIT: low detail side view

the green stick figure is for scale reference.

sorry forgot to reply to this. Thanks and they were actually quite easy to make when I used some imagination (though good effect for nacelle glow wasn't easy to find) and they all were made with Gimp (as was streach effect for the warp jump), while ships themselves were made with MS Paint.
