The USS Santa Fe is a New Orleans Class starship assigned to the Fourth Fleet. Having recently undergone a refit to bring the ship up to modern standards, the continues representing Starfleet in diplomatic endeavours and spreading the familiar message of peaceful exploration and scientific research.
Design and Layout
Like the rest of the New Orlean family, the Santa Fe is one of the more unique vessels in Starfleet’s arsenal. As one of the proto-galaxy designs, the ship has benefitted from recent updates to vessels in the lineage, keeping her fresh and functional.
Benefitting from the unique design and placement of three, mission specific pods (two dorsal and one ventral), the Santa Fe’s mission profile has developed to allow the ship to complete a variety of missions in the Gamma Quadrant. As per the request of Captain Farrell, the two dorsal pods include advanced sensor equipment that boosts the abilities of the ship’s science division. As for the ventral pod, an additional three torpedo launchers (two fwd, 1 aft), an extra phaser array lining the underneath of the pod and enhanced targeting systems have significantly augmented the Fe’s weapons complement.
During her recent refit, Santa Fe benefited from the installation of a newer, larger bridge module. As part of the new redesign, the main stations of the bridge are focused in a circular shape around the United Federation of Planets logo emblazoned on the deck plating.
