USS Mackenzie is an Excelsior II-class heavy cruiser assigned to the Fourth Fleet under the command of Captain Ambrose Harris.

Ship History

The USS Mackenzie began construction in February of 2392 and was completed in December of 2394. Her shakedown cruise was on January 15th, 2395 and she was certified a month later on February 15th, 2395. She is named after Alexander Slidell MacKenzie, an officer in the United States Navy during the American Civil War. Many ships over the years have carried the name in honor of MacKenzie and his legacy. Her story has just begun.

Design and Layout

The Mackenzie was built to be a force for good in whatever theatre she was assigned. Her bridge is designed to function as a flagship for a higher-ranked officer if needed but also serve the day-to-day functions needed. The ship is able to engage saucer separation mode.

The Helm and Tactical Station

The Bridge

The bridge of the USS Mackenzie has been refit once in 2400 by Chief Engineer Katsumi Okada at the direction of Captain Harris. Two consoles were installed in the secondary command chairs and the lighting and carpet colors were changed. All chairs on the bridge are equipped with the latest restraints to ensure safety during turbulent situations.

The three rear Tactical stations

The helm and tactical stations are at the front of the bridge to allow for concentrated efforts between the two departments. The chairs are able to smoothly shift as needed.

The three consoles in the rear of the bridge behind the center command chairs are additional tactical stations that are manned during Red Alert scenarios where Battle Stations have been called.

Battle Bridge / Secondary Bridge

The Mackenzie's battle bridge was designed to function as a full bridge and as such was modelled in a smaller ship's command center.
