Commanding Officer: Captain John Kawolsky First Officer: Commander Scott Bradley Second Officer: Lieutenant Mike Cortez Chief of the Boat: Master Chief Petty Officer Shelaf Greegy USS DISCOVERY SHIP SPECIFICATIONS Specifications of the Akira Class starship Discovery The Akira Class starship entered service in 2364 and has quickly become the pride of Starfleet’s next generation of starships. Akira Class vessels are part of the new belief that smaller, faster, more manoeuvrable starship's are needed to better serve Starfleet's, and, by extension, the Federation's needs. Initial production of the Akira class began at the ASDB Integration Facility, New Aberdeen Fleetyards, Aldebaran, and has since expanded to include the ASDB Integration Facility, Utopia Planitia, Mars where nearly 15 of these vessels enter service each year, and the newly revamped Atlas V Assembly Facility, Deneb V along with the Antares Fleetyard. Heavily armed, the design philosophy for the Akira class created lessons later utilized in the Defiant Project, especially the early “Torpedo Gunboat” design that was later scrapped in favour of the current design. A Combined Forward/Aft torpedo bay is located both along the Aft Dorsal "Sail" portion of the hull, while a second set of forward launchers are located just under the nose of the ship. Combined with the Type X phaser array, the current Akira class is heavily armed, and in raw torpedo firepower, could return fire - torpedo for torpedo, with the vaunted Galaxy / Nebula Class launchers. The Akira Class is a sleek and economical design; although smaller than other starships ( with the exclusion of the Sovereign, Sabre, Steamrunner, Intrepid and Defiant Class starships) , it is an small vessel by comparison to other races with technology equal to or superior to the Federation's. Even though the Akira class is a relatively young class of Starship, Starfleet and the ASDB has already devised two Variants on the Akira space frame. These variants are the Akira-Uprated and Akira-Carrier - each striving to make the spaceframe a more combat-oriented vessel in the current, chaotic political situation.
