Power

The starship employs a single large CLFFR type fusion powerplant employing a high density liquid metallic hydrogen fuel source fed into a ten meter diameter containment vessel. Employ electromagnetic and gravity pinching mechanisms to squeeze the stream to the point of high density fusion, the reactor effectively maintains a meter diameter sphere of fusing fuel akin to a small star during operations. The extreme heat and radiative energy given off by this body is converted directly into usable energy by the interior lining of the reaction chamber, with roughly three quarters of it going to this paneling with the rest being cooling and reaction stopping mechanisms.

However when the reactors are not active the ship can rely on a number of capacitor systems and long lived fission-thermal type power generation devices. The latter of which are located strategically throughout the ship to reduce the chance of all of them being knocked out by one attack or incident.

Propulsion

Three main propulsion units of the CMISFD-type provide forward directional thrust for the starship. Steerage is provided by a mixture of electromagnetic and mechanical ducting of the main drive array aided by strategically placed strike craft grade CMISFD-type thrusters. While active these drive systems also provide a percentage of their output as power to the ship's electrical grid. These systems are governed based on whether or not the starship is in atmosphere, however while in a gravity well the ship may employ its centrally mounted gravitic repulsion drive to hover in atmosphere. Effectively allowing it to conduct operations without the need to use direct thrust during the duration of its stay in a gravity well. For faster then light travel the destroyer employs a point to point fold drive of Colonial Pact design and manufacture. Like most systems of this type it is restricted to use outside of the central portion of a star's hillsphere.

Computational Systems

The primary central computer systems of the Fromm class consist of a pair of ENQ-901 type quantum computing mainframe computer cores fitted into the ship's command citadel hull, to be more precise the primary entrance to their mounting compartment consists of a hatch at the bottom of the bridge's display sphere. Effectively shielded and isolated from the ship with the exception of their power and data linkages (the latter of which can be disconnected if the network is compromised), these two cores serve as the primary computing power of the ship's systems. One is often detailed to handle the ship's normal operations while the other is dedicated to sensor data interpretation and weapons fire control.

If the ENQ-901 processors could be considered the brain of the Fromm class the ENQ-607 SSS3CM computing mainframe could be considered its nervous system. Composed of various networked computer systems varying in size and power, it effectively links the ship's primary computing core with the rest of itself. From those control systems intended for critical ship infrastructure to the personal terminals found inside each crew member's bunk, each are linked. In the event of network comprise the network can being air gapping parts of itself up to and include separating from the main computing cores.

Communications Systems

Like most vessels of its size and scale the Fromm has a variety of communications and network systems that operate both inside and outside of the hull. To begin with she has a shipwide data network consisting of miles of hardline linkages, these are aided by wireless data communications links placed throughout the crew accessible areas. A secondary more hardened network is employed for the ship's subsystems and runs on a completely different mainframe. Finally in the event of shipwide power being knocked out, a tietary voice only network powered by fission batteries allows for shipwide communication albeit unencrypted and voice only.

The ship mounts a wide variety of systems for external communication consisting primarily of laser and radio systems capable of transmitting at FTL or STL speeds. The highest priority use typically goes to the most powerful transmitter arrays used for fleet communication and interstellar communication with primary command networks. The second typically goes toward the ship's subcraft complement and the flight control guidance needed to operate them in a battlespace. Finally the ship employs dedicated arrays toward the support and communication operations of ground troops and infantry units using less powerful radio and laser systems.

Sensor Array

The Fromm like most military starships employs a mixed grouping of both passive and active sensor systems of varying types and performance. These sensors and arrays are listed and described below.

Mean Average Active Sensor Range - Target transient detection up to 140 astronomical units, high definition capable of positive target identification typically falls at 80 astronomical units depending on astrological conditions.
Mean Average Passive Sensor Range - Target transient detection up to 190 astronomical units, high definition capable of positive target identification typically depends on conditions and the size of a target. For a vessel comparable to the Fromm-class it can detect and identify up to 100 astronomical units away depending on conditions on what sort of activities the vessel is carrying out.

Hull Armor

  • Thickness- 250 mm to 500 mm depending on location.

Shielding

This vessel employs a Pact common type combined shield array with both active emitters, six to be precise, mounted to the exterior of the ship. These produce a 'hard' barrier type shield of transparent plasma in alternating onion like layers, effectively providing the vessel with a conformal 'armor' just off the ship's hull. The second is an internal field emitter which is wrapped around the inner skin of the ship's hull and also features further inner fields around the crew areas and critical ship systems. Known as the 'gravimetric field' it serves to protect the vessel against exotic energy and waveform threats

• Two of these weapons are 'spinally' mounted with their bores being present on the front of the ship's bow, designed to work in tandem these two cannons produce a combined rate of fire of forty shots per minute.
• 35A15-970-N2 205mm 'Visker' Compressed Plasma Cannons
• Eight N2 205mm plasma cannons are mounted in four twin gun turrets with two on top of the ship and two on the underside, three of these turrets are capable of superfiring with the fourth on top of the vessel mostly intended for stern defense.
