The '''''Akira''-class heavy cruiser''' is a medium-sized starship designed originally immediately following the Wolf 359 attack by the Borg., While she has substantial exploratory capabilities, the ''Akira'' has always been more aligned with Starfleet’s defensive aims than its exploratory ones. With extensive torpedo armament and dedicated facilities to hold combat-capable small craft, the ''Akira''-class heavy cruiser serves ably as both direct combatant and as a carrier. Units of this class served with distinction in the Dominion War and Battle of Sector 001.
  
To navigate this guide, scroll down to the area you're interested in, and it will list the positions available in each Division, Department, and Section. As you gain access to new tiers, you can choose to promote your existing characters or create a new character. You do not need to stay in the same department/section/division, either. Note: the rank guidelines are not precisely even within each tier across all of the possible position types, to account for some slight variation based on the nature of the particular position.
+
=== Exploration and Science ===
 +
During peacetime, the ''Akira''-class’s large hangar bays allow it to carry scouts and runabouts on long-range missions, which expand its exploratory capabilities significantly. Her extensive torpedo magazines can also be configured to store probes instead. This allows them to survey an entire star system quickly, even if they are not equipped to do so in as great depth as a ''Nova''-class surveyor might be. Science labs on this class are essentially equivalent to those aboard any light cruiser built in the 2370s, as her greater size has been used for hanger facilities. This makes them capable of independent exploratory missions, though they are more often assigned to patrol Federation space.
  
For more information on all of these positions, checkout the [[:Category:Starfleet Onboard Departments|Starfleet Onboard Departments]] category.  
+
With her large cargo bays and hanger bays, the ''Akira''-class is well-suited to resupplying outlying scientific outposts or setting up field camps for research expeditions. Otherwise, these ships don’t often find themselves venturing too far beyond Federation space.
  
== Command Division ==
+
=== Diplomacy ===
Starbase Bravo's commanding officer is currently Vice Admiral Thomas Belvedere, dual-hatted as the sector commander for the Mellstoxx Sector, overseeing all general Starfleet operations in the sector not tied directly to the Fourth Fleet. He is assisted by Captain Javier Reyes, the Executive Officer. While Starbase Bravo hosts the Fourth Fleet's senior command staff, they do not generally interfere directly in station operations except in times of immediate crisis requiring the response of the fleet itself.  
+
The Akira-class is not meant as a diplomatic platform, especially given that she was designed alongside the ''Norway'', which was specifically designed for this purpose. The class is equipped with adequate guest quarters, but its relatively modest top speed limits its utility as a courier. Its place in Federation diplomacy is in being extremely adept at taking down raiders and other threats to potential allies, and so its presence in a star system can be deeply reassuring during negotiations, or it can serve as a reminder of the Federation’s strength to hostile powers.

While the hull shape of this vessel is radically different from most other Federation ships of the time, its actual engines and other systems are fairly conventional. The primary and secondary hulls have been integrated into a monohull, with the nacelle pylons integrated into sweeping catamarans and connected by a small pod. Engine and computer systems are borrowed heavily from the ''Nebula''-class, though the class has simplified warp nacelles.

There is a single forward shuttle bay which connects through the hull to two aft bays, allowing for small craft to fly straight through the ship, which aids in the launch and recovery of fighters in combat situations, as they can leave through the forward bay and return under the protection of the ship’s catamaran structures aft.

=== Tactical ===
 +
The ''Akira''-class is heavily armed, with more torpedo launchers than any other Federation starship currently in service. The primary hull has two forward torpedo launchers, one dorsal and one ventral, as well as two pairs of launchers firing directly starboard and directly port, which is a unique feature for Starfleet vessels. In addition to these launchers, the tactical pod contains four forward torpedo launchers, a single aft torpedo launcher, and two pairs of launchers firing aft-starboard and aft-port. This all-around torpedo coverage allows the ''Akira'' to lay down continual barrages of torpedo fire even while maneuvering around an enemy vessel, or to lob torpedoes at multiple threats at the same time.
  
|}
+
Phaser coverage is provided by three Type-X phaser arrays, all on the forward end of the ship. This gives the ship blind spots on the aft quarter that are unusual for a Starfleet ship, but she makes up for this by carrying enough small craft to provide cover. On a typical tactical deployment, the ''Akira'' two squadrons of twelve ''Valkyrie''-class fighters, or a mix of fighters and bombers. In her standard exploratory loadout, this is reduced to twelve fighters, with a half-dozen runabouts.
In addition to the departments listed below, there are some personnel that are directly part of the Command Division and not a particular department or section. Deck Officer is the title given to command division generalists who haven't yet been assigned to a department, and in this role they assist as needed, especially by greeting new arrivals at the various docking bays to accept their transfer orders and help them get where they need to go. Watch Officers supervise Station Operations and other control centers in the absence of more senior officers.

Akira-class ships are fairly standard Federation ships of the line, and so they employ diverse, well-balanced crews. These ships spend most of their time on the frontier and supporting frontline colonies, so deployment times tend to be longer than other ships of their size, with more time in between starbase stops.

=== Flight Control Department ===
+
Like other ships of her era, she has comparatively fewer windows than other ships of the same size, and her accommodations are much less luxurious than those found aboard the ''Nebula'' and ''Galaxy''-class starships. Four holodecks complement an assortment of lounges, gymnasiums, and other recreational facilities. By the 2390s, the ''Akira'' is considered a second-tier vessel, but the class has a number of unique features that keep her an important part of the Federation’s defensive arsenal, most notably her carrier abilities. Because of this, she is a favored assignment for flight control officers. Unlike the ''Argonaut''-class, the ''Akira''-class typically maintains a set small craft arrangement for extended periods of time, generally a mix of both runabouts and fighters, and so there is more cohesion between the flight crews and the ship’s main crew.
The Flight Control Section is responsible both for guiding starships into their berths and small craft launch and recovery procedures, as well as for piloting the station's assigned small craft. These command division officers are numerous, as the station has hundreds of small craft and coordinates thousands of dockings every single day.  
 
  
* The Small Craft Section is the station's pool of pilots for shuttles and runabouts. Personnel from this section are often assigned to pilot fighters as well, as needed.
+
== Class History ==
* The Space Traffic Control Section is responsible for guiding ships into dock and managing the space around the station. They work from Station Operations, as well as many control rooms spread around the station, one per hanger and several in each major docking complex. 
+
The Battle of Wolf 359 in 2367 led to a radical redesign program for the fleet’s construction projects. Four starship projects, the ''Akira'', ''Norway'', ''Steamrunner'', and ''Saber-''class, which were slated to come into service later in the century were pushed up and their designs were made more suitable for combat, with an immediate halt to production of the ''Challenger'', ''Springfield'', and ''Cheyenne'' classes. While the ''New Orleans''-class was the most successful of all of these four classes, it was still decided to cancel its production run in favor of more heavy cruisers–and so the ''Akira''-class is not a direct replacement, but it did take the place of most of these smaller ships’ production orders.
* The Hanger Operations Section is responsible for the movement, storage, and resupply of craft and starships within the station, in the main spacedock and in its various hangers. Repairs, however, are conducted by the Shipyard Operations Section.
 
* Generalists can work in any of these sections, as needed.
 
  
{| class="wikitable"
+
Unlike the ''Saber'', the ''Akira'' had to be designed completely from scratch, as the ''Nebula''-class heavy cruiser had just entered service and there were no plans for its successor yet. In the end, even though both designs were designated as heavy cruisers, there was a substantial performance and size difference between the ''Akira'' and ''Nebula'', which led to them being produced in tandem. Indeed, both classes continue in production to the current day.

The ''Akira'' herself launched in 2371, thanks to extensive borrowing of technology from other starship classes–notably the engines and computer systems–even though the hull shape itself was radically different. While still rare at the beginning of the Dominion War, they were produced in large numbers to replace the ''Excelsior'' and ''Miranda''-class ships that were suffering high attrition rates in the first year of the war. By 2375, the ''Akira'' was a major part of the Federation’s combat fleet.

=== Administration Department ===
+
Post-war, the class continued in production as it was a capable platform that required a smaller crew than the ''Nebula'' but which also offered extensive tactical options to Starfleet Command. Like the later ''Atlantia''-class, the ''Akira'' participated extensively in the Romulan evacuation in the middle of the 2380s because of her large hanger.  
The Administration Department encompasses a wide variety of officers and specialists who make sure the paperwork necessary for keeping such a large base running is handled efficiently. This ranges from helping with crew transfers and the administration of records, to providing one-on-one support for officers in other departments and the station's command staff through the support section.
 
  
* The Records Section maintains the station's administrative archive, which contains every log created by every member of the station's crew, as well as the logs from ships assigned to the Mellstoxx Sector. They make sure that everything is filed and coded correctly, and handle everything from collating birth and death records to applying the appropriate classified information standards to various files.
+
By 2399, production of this class continues in limited numbers, though it has largely been supplanted by the ''Inquiry''-class.
* The Personnel Section handles transfers, promotions, enlistments, retirements, and other personnel-related matters. They serve as career advisors, as well.
 
* The Support Section (sometimes erroneously called the Yeomanry Section) encompasses all of the stations hundreds of yeomen, who assist senior officers and other personnel in the completion of their duties, run errands, and make deliveries. This section includes both non-officer and officer yeomen.
 
* Generalists in the administration department go between these different sections as needed.

* While combat-oriented, the ''Akira'' isn’t as hopeless when it comes to exploring as the ''Defiant'' or the ''Saber''. It can handle run-of-the-mill scientific and exploratory missions, and given its age, it’s more likely to be handed these minor tasks within Federation space. Still, it’s more likely to be on patrol somewhere than hunting down subspace anomalies.
|
+
* Fighters aren’t that useful against major threat vessels, but they’re great against raiders and small attackers, which is why this ship excels at frontier defense duties.
|
+
* By 2399, this is a relatively common ship, but it’s also potent as a ship of the line. Captains of these vessels would be more experienced than those of smaller ships, but this is no longer a particularly prestigious posting.

==== Diplomats and Foreign Agents ====
 
As a major starbase, Starbase Bravo plays hosts to multiple Commissions from various Federation member worlds and Consulates from foreign powers.
 
 
 
* Federation diplomats represent the interests of their homeworlds to the CO of Starbase Bravo and to Fourth Fleet leadership, as well as providing some limited services to citizens from those worlds. Not every Federation world has a presence on the base, but Betazed's delegation is particularly large because the colony the station orbits was founded by the Betazoids.
 
* Alien diplomats represent the interests of foreign powers to the CO of Starbase Bravo and to Fourth Fleet leadership, as well as providing consular services to their citizens. Not every foreign power has a consulate on the station, but as it is home to a numbered fleet, many do.

=== Intelligence Department ===
 
The Intelligence Department is responsible for gathering information within the Mellstoxx system and the sector at large, primarily through the interception of communications signals (Signals Intelligence), through direct observation via the station's sensors (Sensors Intelligence), and from sapient sources (Sapient Intelligence).
 
 
 
* The Signals Intelligence Section uses the station's communications arrays to intercept all transmissions in the Mellstoxx system and surrounding sector, looking for patterns in who is sending messages to whom, the encryption being used, and direct interception of messages, when permitted by Federation and Interstellar Law.
 
* The Sensors Intelligence Section uses the station's sensor arrays to keep a direct eye on all ships in the system and surrounding sector, where permitted by Federation and Interstellar Law. They are especially concerned with tracking foreign vessels within the station's area of influence, particularly cloaked vessels.
 
* The Sapient Intelligence Section

=== Starfighter Division Sierra Bravo Four ("Sentinel Division") ===
 
As a major defensive installation, Starbase Bravo hosts a permanent starfighter division of 64 craft, split across 2 groups, and 8 squadrons. Starfleet frequently assigns pilots to this division for training in formation maneuvers and to gain piloting hours. Some pilots split their time between fighter duties and general small craft responsibilities. This is an officer-only division. Though a division, it reports under normal circumstances through the Chief Strategic Operations Officer, rather than directly to the First Officer. These fighters most often assist in search and rescue, scanning approaching vessels, and recon duties, as the Mellstoxx system is relatively sedate.

They each also contain a recon squadron of 12 Sparrow-class fighters. These squadrons are all broken into two sections of six. At any one time, three sections (one of each type) are on patrol and the other half of that group is on hot standby, switching with the other group every twelve hours.
 
* Starfighter Group Tango (SB4-T) consists of one bomber squadron of 12 Apsara-class craft and one recon squadron of 12 Sparrow-class fighters. This group handles patrols on the edge of the system and beyond.

Template:Specification

The Akira-class heavy cruiser is a medium-sized starship designed originally immediately following the Wolf 359 attack by the Borg., While she has substantial exploratory capabilities, the Akira has always been more aligned with Starfleet’s defensive aims than its exploratory ones. With extensive torpedo armament and dedicated facilities to hold combat-capable small craft, the Akira-class heavy cruiser serves ably as both direct combatant and as a carrier. Units of this class served with distinction in the Dominion War and Battle of Sector 001.

Exploration and Science

During peacetime, the Akira-class’s large hangar bays allow it to carry scouts and runabouts on long-range missions, which expand its exploratory capabilities significantly. Her extensive torpedo magazines can also be configured to store probes instead. This allows them to survey an entire star system quickly, even if they are not equipped to do so in as great depth as a Nova-class surveyor might be. Science labs on this class are essentially equivalent to those aboard any light cruiser built in the 2370s, as her greater size has been used for hanger facilities. This makes them capable of independent exploratory missions, though they are more often assigned to patrol Federation space.

With her large cargo bays and hanger bays, the Akira-class is well-suited to resupplying outlying scientific outposts or setting up field camps for research expeditions. Otherwise, these ships don’t often find themselves venturing too far beyond Federation space.

Diplomacy

The Akira-class is not meant as a diplomatic platform, especially given that she was designed alongside the Norway, which was specifically designed for this purpose. The class is equipped with adequate guest quarters, but its relatively modest top speed limits its utility as a courier. Its place in Federation diplomacy is in being extremely adept at taking down raiders and other threats to potential allies, and so its presence in a star system can be deeply reassuring during negotiations, or it can serve as a reminder of the Federation’s strength to hostile powers.

Engineering

While the hull shape of this vessel is radically different from most other Federation ships of the time, its actual engines and other systems are fairly conventional. The primary and secondary hulls have been integrated into a monohull, with the nacelle pylons integrated into sweeping catamarans and connected by a small pod. Engine and computer systems are borrowed heavily from the Nebula-class, though the class has simplified warp nacelles.

There is a single forward shuttle bay which connects through the hull to two aft bays, allowing for small craft to fly straight through the ship, which aids in the launch and recovery of fighters in combat situations, as they can leave through the forward bay and return under the protection of the ship’s catamaran structures aft.

Tactical

The Akira-class is heavily armed, with more torpedo launchers than any other Federation starship currently in service. The primary hull has two forward torpedo launchers, one dorsal and one ventral, as well as two pairs of launchers firing directly starboard and directly port, which is a unique feature for Starfleet vessels. In addition to these launchers, the tactical pod contains four forward torpedo launchers, a single aft torpedo launcher, and two pairs of launchers firing aft-starboard and aft-port. This all-around torpedo coverage allows the Akira to lay down continual barrages of torpedo fire even while maneuvering around an enemy vessel, or to lob torpedoes at multiple threats at the same time.

Phaser coverage is provided by three Type-X phaser arrays, all on the forward end of the ship. This gives the ship blind spots on the aft quarter that are unusual for a Starfleet ship, but she makes up for this by carrying enough small craft to provide cover. On a typical tactical deployment, the Akira two squadrons of twelve Valkyrie-class fighters, or a mix of fighters and bombers. In her standard exploratory loadout, this is reduced to twelve fighters, with a half-dozen runabouts.

Shipboard Life

Akira-class ships are fairly standard Federation ships of the line, and so they employ diverse, well-balanced crews. These ships spend most of their time on the frontier and supporting frontline colonies, so deployment times tend to be longer than other ships of their size, with more time in between starbase stops.

Like other ships of her era, she has comparatively fewer windows than other ships of the same size, and her accommodations are much less luxurious than those found aboard the Nebula and Galaxy-class starships. Four holodecks complement an assortment of lounges, gymnasiums, and other recreational facilities. By the 2390s, the Akira is considered a second-tier vessel, but the class has a number of unique features that keep her an important part of the Federation’s defensive arsenal, most notably her carrier abilities. Because of this, she is a favored assignment for flight control officers. Unlike the Argonaut-class, the Akira-class typically maintains a set small craft arrangement for extended periods of time, generally a mix of both runabouts and fighters, and so there is more cohesion between the flight crews and the ship’s main crew.

Class History

The Battle of Wolf 359 in 2367 led to a radical redesign program for the fleet’s construction projects. Four starship projects, the Akira, Norway, Steamrunner, and Saber-class, which were slated to come into service later in the century were pushed up and their designs were made more suitable for combat, with an immediate halt to production of the Challenger, Springfield, and Cheyenne classes. While the New Orleans-class was the most successful of all of these four classes, it was still decided to cancel its production run in favor of more heavy cruisers–and so the Akira-class is not a direct replacement, but it did take the place of most of these smaller ships’ production orders.

Unlike the Saber, the Akira had to be designed completely from scratch, as the Nebula-class heavy cruiser had just entered service and there were no plans for its successor yet. In the end, even though both designs were designated as heavy cruisers, there was a substantial performance and size difference between the Akira and Nebula, which led to them being produced in tandem. Indeed, both classes continue in production to the current day.

The Akira herself launched in 2371, thanks to extensive borrowing of technology from other starship classes–notably the engines and computer systems–even though the hull shape itself was radically different. While still rare at the beginning of the Dominion War, they were produced in large numbers to replace the Excelsior and Miranda-class ships that were suffering high attrition rates in the first year of the war. By 2375, the Akira was a major part of the Federation’s combat fleet.

Post-war, the class continued in production as it was a capable platform that required a smaller crew than the Nebula but which also offered extensive tactical options to Starfleet Command. Like the later Atlantia-class, the Akira participated extensively in the Romulan evacuation in the middle of the 2380s because of her large hanger.  

By 2399, production of this class continues in limited numbers, though it has largely been supplanted by the Inquiry-class.

In Play

  • While combat-oriented, the Akira isn’t as hopeless when it comes to exploring as the Defiant or the Saber. It can handle run-of-the-mill scientific and exploratory missions, and given its age, it’s more likely to be handed these minor tasks within Federation space. Still, it’s more likely to be on patrol somewhere than hunting down subspace anomalies.
  • Fighters aren’t that useful against major threat vessels, but they’re great against raiders and small attackers, which is why this ship excels at frontier defense duties.
  • By 2399, this is a relatively common ship, but it’s also potent as a ship of the line. Captains of these vessels would be more experienced than those of smaller ships, but this is no longer a particularly prestigious posting.
