WARP
PROPULSION SYSTEM
Type: C-Grade Standard Matter/Anti-Matter Reaction Drive,
developed by Ceries Industries. Information on this Warp Drive can
be found in any Starfleet Library or Omnipedia.
Normal
Cruising Speed: Warp 6.5 (Cruising Speed as
pursuant to Warp Limitations, as a cause of subspace pollution:
Warp 5)
Maximum
Speed: Warp 9.7 for 12 hours
Note:
Vessels equipped with the Ceries C-Grade M/ARA Drive System no longer
have the maximum cruising speed limit of Warp 6.3, thanks to innovations
discovered and utilized in the M/ARA Warp Drive outfitted in the
new Intrepid Class Starship. Pursuant to Starfleet Command Directive
12856.A, all Starships will receive upgrades to their Warp Drive
system to prevent further pollution of Subspace.
IMPULSE
PROPULSION SYSTEM
Type: The Corps of Engineers considered standard Norway Class
Impulse Engines ‘excessive’, providing thrust far in excess on the
highest estimated needs. Developed and built by Slepnir Inc., the
Norway Class engines can be ‘temperamental’ with the tendency to
over steer due to the huge thrust factor in Real Space travel. However,
the ability to produce so much power effectively diminishes inertial
drag making the Norway Class vessel more agile in Real Space.
Output:
Each engine (there are two impulse engines) can propel the Norway
Class at speeds just under .25c, at “Full Impulse” and an upper
ceiling of .75c at three quarters the speed of light. Generally,
Starfleet Vessels are restricted to .25c speeds to avoid the more
dramatic time dilation effects of higher relativistic speeds. However,
such restrictions can be overridden at the behest of the ship’s
captain.
REACTION
CONTROL SYSTEM
Type: Standard Version 3 magneto-hydrodynamic gas-fusion
thrusters. Due to the peculiarities of Norway Class hull design,
the internal workings of the Version-3 RCS Thruster remains the
same but the magnetic rudder and ducting cases are molded to fit
the elongated curve of the Norway.
Output:
Each thruster quad can produce 3.9 million Newtons of exhaust.
