The '''''Elysion''-class light explorer''' is a vessel born as a complement to, and deriving much of its design from, the [[Century Class|''Century''-class]]. The ''Elysion'' was designed to do exactly what the ''Century'' did at the capital range, but for in cruiser-sized form factor. ''Elysion''-class ships are among the most advanced medium-sized ships currently in service.

===Exploration and Science===
The ''Elysion'' is a direct descendant of the ''Century''-class design lineage; with that, the ''Elysion'' is a powerhouse of exploration. While a derived directly from the ''Century'', the ''Elysion'' shares many features with the [[Intrepid Class|''Intrepid'' class]] when it comes to matters of exploration. Like the ''Intrepid'', the ''Elysion'' is small, but capable. She boasts numerous science labs for any variety of scientific endeavors and specialists in all scientific disciplines on board to fill those labs. The ''Elysion'' may not be able to compete with the ''Century'' in the volume of science and exploration it can complete at once, but in technical ability, it is a dead-even match.


===Diplomacy===
'''Eos Station''' is a [[Watchtower Class|''Watchtower''-class]] station that is located on the Federation-Romulan border near Freecloud and adjacent to T'Met.  Currently commanded by Captain [[bfms_char:71721/|Elena Mitchell]], Eos serves as a port of call for travelers, while maintaining a Federation presence near the Romulan Free State.  
Although from the same design lineage as the ''Century'', the ''Elysion'' is much more severely limited in its diplomatic capacity than its larger sister. The ''Elysion'' has a secondary purpose of diplomatic duties, but like its scientific abilities, it is limited by its own size. Much like the ''Intrepid'', the ''Elysion''’s size limits it to only specific diplomatic functions which it carries out at a standard above most other Starfleet vessels. Examples of appropriate diplomatic assignments for a ship of this class include first contact scenarios and transporting dignitaries.


===Engineering===
==History==
The ''Elysion'' class is the design and engineering culmination of the proven worthiness of the ''Century''-class spaceframe. The ''Elysion'' derives much of its design, both internal and external, to Starfleet taking the ''Century'' space frame and making it smaller, easier and quicker to build, and more resource-friendly. Many of her systems were also tested first aboard the much smaller ''Rhode Island''-class scout.
Commissioned in the year 2293, shortly before the signing of the [[ma:Khitomer_Accords|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.


Like its larger sister, the ''Elysion'' sports the latest in technology including the second generation of bio-neural circuitry first fielded on the Century, holographic projectors throughout the entirety of the ship, ablative armor, the vetted [[Warp drive#Class-9 Warp Drive|class-9 warp drive]] developed for the ''Intrepid''. Like the ''Century'', the ''Elysion'' also includes highly advanced automation systems for many of the systems of the ship which required less crew to control them and an equally advanced vocal command interface that would allow a single person to command the ship if necessary.
Following the [[ma:Tomed_Incident|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 [https://wiki.bravofleet.com/index.php/Romulan_Free_State Romulan Free State], as well as many other unknown independent Romulan factions all vying for control.


===Tactical ===
The Elysion is officially classified as a light explorer, and is armed accordingly. The ship boasts an impressive tactical loadout, but much like all its other capabilities is limited by its size. The [[Phaser#Type-XII Phaser Array|Type-XII phaser arrays]] give nearly full coverage of the ship’s arcs but are severely limited by the ship’s power generation capabilities limiting it to only a fraction of the power available to Type-XII arrays mounted on the fleet's larger explorers. The ''Elysion'' also uses the same burst fire torpedo launchers as the Century, but has a much smaller overall payload. Overall, the ''Elysion'' could tactically be more comparable to the ''Intrepid'', but is more than capable to hang around in a fight than its “light explorer” designation would indicate.


===Shipboard Life===
==Layout==
Unlike the oft-compared ''Intrepid'', the ''Elysion'' allows for more comfort aboard ship mostly due to its highly automated systems. This leaves less need for unused crew quarters and more room for crew comforts.


The ship sports the standard crewman-officer-senior officer quarters layout that any Starfleet vessel does. However, it boasts four state-of-the-art holodecks, a crew lounge on par with the ''Galaxy''-class explorer's Ten Forward Lounge, a comprehensive gym facility, and a phaser range. The ship even boasts a modest arboretum; although the arboretum is just as much for research purposes as it is for crew recreation.
====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.


==Class History==
====Secondary Hull====
Although the ''Elysion'' is derived directly from the ''Century''-class design, its inception came years after the ''Century'' launched as a proven platform. As Starfleet Command was shifting more steadily away from the wartime philosophy that dominated the time of the Dominion and Borg threat, the desire for more explorers was at hand. The ''Century'' was birthed from that desire but even with its highly automated systems and much lower crew count than ships of similar size, it was still resource-intensive as a capital ship explorer. Starfleet desired something to share the "light explorer" niche side-by-side with the ''Intrepid''.
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.


The mandate was simple: shrink the Century platform into something smaller, easier to build, and more resource-efficient. However, that proved more difficult than originally anticipated, forcing the designers to make slight changes in the hull configuration. The ''Elysion'' design ended up being relatively similar, but with clear differences in her proportions. The unique deflector on the ''Century'' was also unable to translate to the ''Elysion'', causing a visual difference. Once the prototype was completed, however, the ''Elysion'' was easily in spirit the smaller sister to the ''Century''. Walking the corridors of the ''Elysion'' felt like you were in the Century and her capabilities matched. The first five ''Elysion''-class starships to be built were all tasked with frontier exploration, and are expected to be common sights on the frontier supporting their much larger sister class for decades to come.
===='''Terrestrial Enclosure'''====

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.
