The '''Quirinus System ''' is a binary star system within the [[Velorum Space]] of the [[Beta Quadrant]], an area of space not explored by the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]]. Two stars, Quirinus A, a class D white dwarf, and Quirinus B, a class L brown dwarf, are gravitationally bound to form the binary pair. The overall structure of the system consists of five planets and an asteroid belt.

== ORIGIN THEORY ==
'''USS ''Republic'' (NCC-91371)''' is one of the newest [[Constitution III Class|''Constitution III''-class]] starships constructed for Starfleet and assigned to the [[Fourth Fleet]]'s [[Task Force 47]]. A product of the [[Avalon Fleet Yards]], she features the latest in technological innovations and systems that have been incorporated into modern starship designs. With a focus on exploration and independence, ''Republic'' is destined for [[Thomar Expanse]] and the unexplored space beyond.
Observation of other systems consisting of binary stars supports the theory that binaries develop through the fragmentation of charged molecular bonds during the formation of a stellar object. This binary system was formed about 6.64 billion years ago beginning as small clouds of stars and dust swirling through space.  Scientists theorize a dying pulsar was devoured by a black hole which resulted in an explosion that created a protostar system. As the materials combined they began to form the binding elements that would become planets. As the system began to settle into a single star system, a rouge object was caught by gravitational forces. This sent the entire system spinning with resulting tidal forces that caused rotational chaos. Materials swirled in various directions colliding with others.  


It took about a billion years for the two stellar objects to fall into a rhythm that created a stabilizing magnetic field. Similar to other star systems, heavy rocky material was pulled toward the center and lighter elemental material moved further away. Planets were born and destroyed until their defined orbits were established. Vulcan and Federation scientists who study astrophysics consider this to be a Level 3, P system. That is to say that a small protostar orbits a larger object with a denser mass while planets orbit the two objects as they would a large single star.  
==Design and Layout==
{{For|article=[[User:McGig/Republic/Republic Deck Listing|''Republic'' Deck Listing]]}}
Like other ''Constitution III''-class starships that have been built, ''Republic'' has been constructed with a mixture of new and old materials and components as Starfleet engineers make an attempt to bridge the fundamental paradox of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus Ship of Theseus] problem. As two of the previous starships ''Republic'' were museum ships, only artefacts of these vessels have been incorporated into ceremonial components of the ship while the last starship ''Republic'' was able to donate a majority of raw materials for the construction of her legacy-bearer.  


==Planets==
An internal deck plate from the United Earth Starfleet ''Republic'' has been incorporated into the decking in main engineering just in front of the warp core. Similarly the ''Constitution''-class ''Republic'' donated a deck plate found on the modern namesake's bridge command platform. The ''Ambassador''-class ''Republic'' was scrapped after sitting in mothballs for nearly three decades and broken down for raw materials to construct the ''Republic''. Her age and antiquated technology in comparison with modern equipment meant that no surviving systems could be carried across to the new vessel and in fact, a vast majority of her structure had to be reprocessed and cast anew before being integrated during construction.

Harkening back to the design aesthetics of the mid to late 23rd century, Starfleet's golden age of exploration, the ''Constitution III''-class starships intentionally attempt to invoke the spirit of that era, while blending in the traditions and innovations of the modern era.

TAL PRA'UEX  began as an inhabited Class L planet possessing a thin atmosphere and levels of solar radiation higher than other planets in its class. Romulan colonists set up a preliminary base in 2207 and terraformed the planet over the next eighty years. While not fully M class, the climate ranges from desert to tropical. Three large continents and four smaller landmasses allow for flora and fauna to flourish. The south polar region oddly serves as the primary magnetic pole that disrupts electrical currents for six months out of the 14-month planetary calendar. This has kept the technological level lower than other inhabited Romulan planets. It also gave rise to an agrarian and independent society.

Magazine space is given over to housing more specialised and sophisticated sensors and ECM hardware.

"Nothing beautiful without struggle."
    —Plato, The Republic


USS Republic (NCC-91371) is one of the newest Constitution III-class starships constructed for Starfleet and assigned to the Fourth Fleet's Task Force 47. A product of the Avalon Fleet Yards, she features the latest in technological innovations and systems that have been incorporated into modern starship designs. With a focus on exploration and independence, Republic is destined for Thomar Expanse and the unexplored space beyond.

Design and Layout

Like other Constitution III-class starships that have been built, Republic has been constructed with a mixture of new and old materials and components as Starfleet engineers make an attempt to bridge the fundamental paradox of the Ship of Theseus problem. As two of the previous starships Republic were museum ships, only artefacts of these vessels have been incorporated into ceremonial components of the ship while the last starship Republic was able to donate a majority of raw materials for the construction of her legacy-bearer.

An internal deck plate from the United Earth Starfleet Republic has been incorporated into the decking in main engineering just in front of the warp core. Similarly the Constitution-class Republic donated a deck plate found on the modern namesake's bridge command platform. The Ambassador-class Republic was scrapped after sitting in mothballs for nearly three decades and broken down for raw materials to construct the Republic. Her age and antiquated technology in comparison with modern equipment meant that no surviving systems could be carried across to the new vessel and in fact, a vast majority of her structure had to be reprocessed and cast anew before being integrated during construction.

In honour of her forebearers, Republic is coated in a slightly lighter shade of hull paint, causing her to stand out amongst her contemporaries.

Bridge

Bridge of the USS Republic

Harkening back to the design aesthetics of the mid to late 23rd century, Starfleet's golden age of exploration, the Constitution III-class starships intentionally attempt to invoke the spirit of that era, while blending in the traditions and innovations of the modern era. The bridge, the command centre of the ship, is designed to communicate this feeling and intention in a single unified package by being visually impressive and functional at the same time.

With three central chairs set upon the elevated command platform, harkening to mid-24th century designs such as the venerable Galaxy-class, the intention is to present a unified front, especially helpful when dealing with hostile powers. This is in contrast to the 22nd-century designs of a singular command chair at the heart of the bridge. The chair to the commanding officer's right is reserved for the executive officer while the chair to the left is used by visitors to the bridge or mission specialist as required.

Seated in the commanding officer's chair facing the expansive viewscreen, one finds the helm officer seated to the front right and operations to the front left. Science is located to the right of the bridge with Tactical to the left. Communications, distinct from Operations, is situated to the rear-left of the commanding officer. This leaves the station to the rear-right available for mission advisors or monitoring of small craft and away teams when Tactical is otherwise engaged.

The Agora

The Agora is Republic's largest social space, offering a different vibe and feel compared to the other utilitarian messes spread throughout the ship's hull. It fills the need for a large leisure space that can host crew gatherings but as required be reconfigured for more formal or diplomatic functions too. Featuring a mixture of booths, large tables, standing tables and bar seating, there is a variety of options for all depending on the nature of their social gathering in the shared space.

The Pnyx

The Pnyx

The Pnyx is the officer's mess located on Deck 03. Reserved for the exclusive use of the ship's senior officers and their guests, it is designed with a warm, comforting feel appropriate for small gatherings. Wood furnishing with intentionally chosen retro design elements are meant to invoke a sense of ease and relaxation amongst the denizens of Pnyx. Seating is generous with seats found at the bar, in a central common space and a handful of tables along the outer walls.

Republic carries a total of 10 Type-14 shuttles in her small craft complement. With only a flight crew of two required, these spacious shuttles can reasonably conduct long-duration and long-distance missions on their own. However, increasing the passenger count aboard greatly reduces the craft's endurance, mainly due to crew comfort considerations.
