USS Avenger

 
 

Propulsion

  
 
Sub-light Propulsion
  Single Ion Engine    
  Maximum Sub-light Speed
0.65C
  
  Sixteen RCS Thrusters    
 

The main sub-light propulsion for the USS Avenger is based upon the reverse engineered ion thrusters used by the Dominion's Jem'Hadar vessels. These engines are both more efficient then standard impulse engines and allow for a higher maximum speed.

The RCS thrusters are also ion based and are located mainly along the winglet edges. These have been placed to give the Avenger the ability to perform extremely tight manoeuvres.

  
 
Interstellar Propulsion
  
  Twin warp Ion Engines    
 

The USS Avenger's 'Faster then light' propulsion system is a combination of Ion propulsion and standard warp technology.

The vessel is fitted with a standard class-7 warp core (As used in the Defiant class). However, instead of powering warp nacelles, the core creates the warp bubble, but does not directly provide propulsion. Instead, propulsion is provided by the two main Ion engines.

This system was troublesome to perfect and was the major stumbling block in the development of the vessel.

However, this propulsion system is powerful and the vessel can attain transwarp speeds without the need to create transwarp conduits ahead of the vessel.

  
 
Warp Speed
  
  Cruising Speed
Warp 16.2
  
  Maximum Speed
Warp 20.6
  
  Emergency Max. Speed
Warp 30 (For 48 Hours)
  
 
Atmospheric Propulsion
  
  Ventral Impellers
Mach 10
  
 

The USS Avenger uses ventral impeller technology again reverse engineered from captured Jem'Hadar vessels for atmospheric flight. This method of propulsion is less detectable than atmospheric thrusters.

The Avenger is fully capable of making landings on planets and returning to space.
