Kansas-Class
Real-world Description
This is the mesh for the Kansas-Class, specifically the USS Kansas NX-75000. There are two versions included, a high quality
one and a medium quality one. This is an idea that I had for a post-nemesis Federation starship. I designed her to be a
light battleship, but in keeping with
Starfleet tradition, I class her as a heavy cruiser. The general specifications are that she is about
as long as a Sovereign-Class and made to resemble late 23rd century styling.

Star Trek Universe Backstory
Designed in 2378, the Kansas-Class was designed to fill the multi-mission capability role that has been
previously held by such designs as the Galaxy-Class or the Constitution-Class. Designated as a heavy cruiser,
it is in fact, comparable to many light battleships or battlecruisers. The USS Kansas is slated to be completed
by early 2379, and is meant to compliment the Galaxy-Class and Sovereign-Class in service. The main focus
of the design is adaptability to multiple mission types and ability to defend itself and serve as a heavy cruiser
when called upon to do so. The projected 12 ships of the Kansas-Class will carry the finest traditions of
StarFleet well into the 25th century. One interesting point about the design of the Kansas-Class
is that the designer wanted to re-create the styling of the grand old ships of the late 23rd century
with modern technology. The Kansas also introduces a revolutionary new type of torpedo launcher the launches
any type of standard StarFleet torpedo at Quantum Slipstream speeds towards a target using a special type
of deflector pulse generator built right into the torpedo launchers. The only disadvantage to this is that
the torpedo tubes must be constructed far larger than the standard torpedo tubes commonly found on Federation
starships and this requires a large amount of internal space, meaning that many of the smaller ships in the
fleet are not compatible with this technology at its current level of development. The class also introduces
a new warp nacelle design incorporating two smaller nacelles into the main nacelles to help boost efficiency
at higher warp speeds.
Usage Stuff
You may use this in any mods or other projects as long as credit is given to the designer, also known as ME.
If need be you may alter the mesh to fit your ideas for the design, but out of personal preference I would like
to see this as close as possible to the original.
