}}The '''''Shran''-class escort''' is well-rounded tactical vessel combining aspects of several other escorts and frigates, intended to be a ubiquitious patrol vessel for the dawn of the 25th century. Designed with lessons learned from the ''[[Defiant Class|Defiant]]'' and ''[[Saber Class|Saber]]'' classes, this class serves alongside the larger [[Reliant Class|''Reliant''-class frigates]] and [[Gagarin Class|''Gagarin''-class heavy escorts]] in border and space lane patrol duties, with crew comforts and exploratory equipment the more powerful ''Defiant'' and older ''Saber'' both lack. What the ''Shran'' lacks in raw firepower compared to the ''Defiant'', she makes up in endurance and versatility.


== Science & Exploration ==
'''Eos Station''' is a [[Watchtower Class|''Watchtower''-class]] station that is located on the Federation-Romulan border.  
The ''Shran'' is deployed throughout Federation space and has finely-tuned sensors for detecting and identifying other starships at relatively long range. These sensor arrays are also useful for stellar mapping duties, which these ships perform in the course of their other duties. Unusually for an escort, there are two large sensor platforms on the ventral, forward ends of the ship's two nacelles and a large planetary sensor array in the center of the ship. Intended to allow the ''Shran'' to ferret out boltholes and hideaways used by raiders and pirates in asteroid fields, this equipment is very effective at finding life forms and metallic masses, though members of this class are generally not equipped with the corresponding computer equipment necessary for full-on detailed scientific surveys. These ships also have two standard science labs, which are configured to easily perform forensic or customs-related analyses (like verifying the composition of cargo) to complement their patrol missions, but they can also be used for light intensity scientific tasks.  


''Shran''-class ships have much greater endurance and range than the ''Defiant''-class escort, thanks to larger fuel reserves and better crew comforts, and so their captains are often allowed to linger for a few weeks performing surveys or prospecting on their way back to their home port after being relieved. The USS ''Shran'' herself actually performed an unexpected first contact on her shakedown cruise when her powerful, new sensor arrays detected a subterranean civilization on what otherwise appeared to be a dead, class-D moon.
==Summary==
Commissioned in the year 2293, shortly before the signing of the Khitomer Accords, the Watchtower-class Eos Station was a military outpost along the Romulan Neutral Zone. Charged with gathering intel on the Romulans, defense of the Federation borders, and keeping tabs on our Romulan neighbors, Eos Station was the best of the best. Equipped with all the latest technology of the day, Eos Station was a shining beacon for the Federation.


== Diplomacy ==
Following the Tomed Incident in 2311, the Romulan Star Empire entered a prolonged period of total isolation. In that time, politics changed, people changed, and the Federation’s needs changed. Once a part of the old guard, Eos was relegated to an overequipped, unimportant outpost along a border of the Federation that seemingly no longer mattered. Over the following decades, Eos fell into disrepair due to her low priority status. 2400 was the year that changed everything for Eos Station as the collapse of the Romulan Star Empire of Rator and de facto Romulan civil war changed the landscape once again. Revived and brought back to life, Eos Station is called upon again to serve the borders of the Federation, this time opposite Romulan space from the Romulan Free State, as well as many other unknown independent Romulan factions all vying for control.
''Shran''-class starships are not equipped for complex diplomatic missions. Like most ships of her size, she does have modest guest quarters and a conference lounge, but it would be extremely unusual for a ship of this class to be Starfleet's first choice for a diplomatic assignment. Their relatively high speed can allow them to serve as couriers, moving either important diplomats or diplomatic packages. At least a few members of this class, like the prototype ''Shran'' mentioned previously, have been forced into diplomatic roles by necessity, and their captains are very aware of the limits their ships have for such tasks. Because of their presence on the frontier, ''Shran''-class starships do frequently interact with vessels from outside the Federation in a customs enforcement or border security capacity. While the Federation does not generally restrict traffic through its space, it does monitor the comings and goings of foreign starships, and the ''Shran'' is one of a number of different classes that is tasked with identifying the intentions of such ships, especially those suspected of containing contraband material.


== Engineering ==
==Layout==
The ''Shran''-class escort shares design features from the ''Defiant''-class and the much older McGee-class surveyor. Designed to present a small target profile, the ship has a roughly circular saucer section into which her two nacelles are directly embedded. These oversize nacelles provide substantial sprint speed. The deflector assembly is borrowed almost directly from the ''Defiant'' and contains the forward docking port. Impulse engines flank a single aft shuttle bay, and these engines draw their power from a combined warp-impulse reaction assembly with a large power modulation crystal visible amidships. Unlike the ''Defiant'', the ''Shran'' has windows, a design feature made possible through advances in armor technology and a desire to strike balance between tactical performance and crew comfort.


''Shran''-class systems are well-tested and great emphasis has been placed on making sure that this design does not become a "hanger queen" the way that the ''Defiant'' often has become due to maintenance needs. A trade-off for ease of maintenance means that limitations have been placed on the ''Shran''<nowiki/>'s overall power output, meaning that her weapons are less powerful, but advances in warp engine technology have not resulted in speed losses. The ''Shran'' also shares many components in common with her contemporaries, the ''Reliant'' and ''Gagarin''.
====Primary Hull====
Eos Station features a typical 23rd-century Federation design, consisting of a saucer-shaped primary hull with a central command tower and four main docking bays capable of servicing Constitution-class starships or smaller. Positioned halfway down is an external docking wheel, while the energy reactor housing and multi-spectrum array are located at the bottom of the station. The command tower houses the shuttlebays, medical center, support offices, and an impressive two deck operations center. Support facilities, crew quarters, and crew accommodations are also housed within the primary hull. Phaser arrays are evenly distributed around the station's exterior.


== Tactical ==
==== Secondary Hull====
As an escort, the ''Shran'' is well-armed and geared for defensive missions. She uses a combination of ten standard phaser arrays and four pulse phaser cannons to improve her firing arc coverage compared to the ''Defiant'' and her overall firepower compared to the ''Saber'', which only uses arrays, but falls short of the ''Defiant'' in raw forward firepower. Four torpedo launchers forward and two aft provide substantial launch capabilities, but their magazines are limited by the ship's small size. A ''Shran'' is more than capable of outmaneuvering most threats to keep them in her forward arc, thanks to large thruster quads on the edges of the saucer. The shields aboard a Shran are nearly identical to those on a ''Defiant'', but her hull is less heavily armored and so she must be even more careful to avoid direct hits.
The secondary hull of Eos Station predominantly houses cargo and maintenance facilities, along with the energy reactor and multi-spectrum array mount. Maneuvering thrusters, lifeboat ports, and weapon platforms are situated on the external hull of the secondary section.


Being more reliable and having greater range than the ''Defiant'', the ''Shran'' is a good choice for deep space patrols, though not to the level at which the ''Manticore'' or ''Prometheus'' would be. They have an advantage over these more powerful ships in terms of optics, as their more versatile design is less likely to escalate a situation because Starfleet can credibly assert that a ''Shran'' is in an area for exploratory reasons. With total combat potential exceeding two ''Saber''-class starships at a minimum, the ''Shran'' is more than capable of conducting patrol missions on her own, which provides further flexibility to the fleet by freeing other vessels up for exploratory duties. In fleet scenarios, ''Shrans'' use their high speed and forward firepower to screen larger starships. They were intended to work alongside ''Reliants'' and ''Gagarins'' in highly-mobile squadrons to take on threats from raiders or pirates, with a ''Gagarin'' as flagship, and several ''Shrans'' supporting a core of a few ''Reliants''.
===='''Terrestrial Enclosure'''====


== Shipboard Life ==
Tucked away within the primary hull of Eos Station, the biodome (as the locals call it) is a self-contained habitat. Its lush landscape is programmed to echo Napa Valley, California on Earth, complemented by an artificial sky programmable to simulate day and night. Affectionately known as "Eden," the Terrestrial Enclosure contains a thriving meadow, a high-speed tram, an athletic field, and a small commercial and residential district, among a variety of other amenities and establishments.
Where the ''Defiant'' is a pure gunboat with crew accomodations crammed in between the ship's tactical systems, resulting in smaller corridors and no privacy, the ''Shran'' is very similar to any other small 25th-century Starfleet vessel. The interior is warm and welcoming, though there are fewer bespoke crew facilities than on larger ships. Crew members are typically assigned to staterooms, rather than bunk rooms, though there are some residential hallways for the most junior crewmembers. Senior officers' quarters even have windows. ''Shrans'' have two holosuites, as well as a large lounge on deck two with three floor-to-ceiling viewports, a marked improvement over her predecessors. These interior design choices reflect a Starfleet ethos that is once again willing to prioritize crew needs as being just as important to a ship's mission as her tactical systems. This is also seen in the ship's medical facilities, which have a full sickbay and medical lab, making it so there is no need to rush home to port for emergencies in the way that a ''Defiant'' must.


There is no getting around that ''Shran''-class starships are intended for tactical roles, but their greater accommodation standard than earlier escorts can help their crews forget this. The fact that they are also capable of some scientific missions also makes them more popular to a wider variety of personalities, and their relatively good endurance means that crews often stick together for longer periods. Many potential crewmembers are drawn to these ships for the potential to be out on the frontier of Federation space, rather than taking the path to its interior on a ''California''-class ship as so many new officers do.  
==Promenade==
The station houses a multi-level business district, Promenade. This area is positioned just below the docking ring and contains a assortment of businesses able fulfill even of the pickiest of shoppers. Often referred to as a city within a city, the Promenade District features some of the best shopping and eating establishments in the galaxy.


== ''Shran'' Class History ==
====Club 504====
The development of the ''Shran''-class began as early as the 2380s, as Starfleet considered what to do with the ''Defiant'', now that the Dominion War was over. Though tactically effective, the ''Defiant''<nowiki/>'s lack of versatility and maintenance-intensive systems made it a poor candidate for extended production in a peacetime environment. As important as the ''Defiant'' herself had been, only 50 were ever built and Starfleet had no appetite for building more in the absence of another large-scale conflict, if they couldn't perform Starfleet's key exploratory functions in the interim.
[[File:Gencraft image 1710272599935-1.png|thumb|alt=|left]]


This project was stalled many times, due to the Romulan evacuation and due to Starfleet's priorities largely staying with larger designs like the ''Odyssey'' and ''Inquiry''. In the interim, the ''Aquarius'' was developed as a complement to the ''Odyssey'' and overall refinement of the ''Defiant'', but it did not have the range to be truly independent. By the mid-2390s, it was clear that there remained a need for a smaller tactically-oriented ship to go beyond the capabilities of the ''Saber'' without being as resource-intensive or limited in function as the ''Defiant''.


Starfleet green-lit the ''Shran'' design in 2398. Sharing components with other newer classes and relatively easy to build, the first vessel of this class came online two years later in 2400 for a year-long shakedown cruise. Production was approved during the middle of this cruise, as two of the other prototypes entered service.


== The ''Shran'' Class In-Play ==
Club 504, the  nightlife destination on Eos Station, is owned and operated by the mysterious Lon Tik, a Human with a fondness for the finer things in life. This club offers an unparalleled experience for patrons from all corners of the galaxy. Nestled within the crowded confines of Eos Station, Club 504 is the  premier establishment for those needing a little night life entertainment.


* ''Shran''-class starships are similar in role to the ''Defiant'', but they trade firepower for versatility and comfort. They represent Starfleet's current ethos, understanding the need for defensive ships but not wanting to create warships. A ''Defiant'' is like a submarine or a World War II destroyer on the inside, but the ''Shran'' has the same facilities and feel of a larger ship.
 
* The ''Reliant'' is also a patrol-oriented design, but it's a lot larger and more versatile than the ''Shran,'' while also being less powerful in combat. These two classes work in tandem with the ''Gagarin'', which is larger ''and'' more powerful than either of them.
 
* Similar in size to the ''Saber'', the ''Shran'' is much more modern and powerful.  
 
* This ship is a good choice if you want to mix traditional ''Star Trek'' stories alongside more combat-oriented ones.
