Difference between revisions of "USS Luna"

Revision as of 02:31, 24 February 2024

The USS Luna is a Luna-class Federation starship. USS Luna is the prototype for her class and currently serves in the Fourth Fleet. Assigned to Task Force 86 under the command of Captain Adriana Cruz. It has been outfitted with some of the most advanced sensors in Starfleet and was initially intended to be a listening ship to pick up pirate comm traffic. As such it has an unusually large intelligence department.

The Luna is currently host to both a Klingon First Officer and a Romulan Republic Advisor since it has been operating in both Klingon and Romulan space.

It departed Starbase 86 and explored The Triangle visiting Federation colony Acamar as a seemingly futile diplomatic gesture before continuing on deeper. It is currently in Romulan space on an exploratory mission.

Layout

Main article: Luna Class

Bridge: Located on Deck One, the Bridge is where the ship is controlled. Not having saucer separation there is only one bridge and not an alternate battle bridge.

Ready Room: Spacious when compared to the ready room on the Rhode Island-class USS Seattle, where much of the current senior officers previously served including the Captain, the Ready Room acts as an office and meeting space for the Captain. Located immediately off the bridge this is a refuge from being ‘on show’ for the rest of the crew and where the Captain is able to relax.

First Officer’s Office: Lacking a cool nickname like ‘Ready Room’ the First Officer also has an office on Deck 2 a short turbo lift ride down from the bridge. Here they assemble Duty Rosters and perform other administrative duties that help keep the USS Luna running smoothly.

Senior Officer’s Quarters: The Captain, First Officer and senior officers (Commanders and Lieutenant Commanders) all have quarters on Deck 2 as does the Chief Counseling Officer. Rooms can be refitted to support non-class M environments including gravities, temperatures, and atmospheres. The Captain has the largest quarters but all crew on this level have a bedroom, small private dining area, and an entertainment/relaxation space.

VIP Quarters:

Lunar Base: This is the main lounge enjoyed by both officers and crew members alike. It is located on Deck 7. A popular drink is called ‘The Eagle Has Landed’ named after the phrase used my Earth Astronaut Neil Armstrong upon touching down on Earth’s moon.

Arboretum: Located on Deck 7 the arboretum is a collection of plants collected from across the galaxy and cared for by the crew of the Luna. While the mixture of plant life means that it’s not fully familiar to any member of the crew, the collection seems to be complementing each other and provides a natural space on the ship that holodecks can not quite capture.

Gymnasium (Main): Deck 7 also contains a spacious gymnasium, set up for court games such as tennis, basketball, and additional areas for Andorian martial arts and Bat’leth training/sparring. There is also an area with free weights, resistance weights, and cardiovascular machines to facilitate other expertises of training.

Pool: Tasked with long voyages It is important for the crew of the USS Luna to remain active, and Deck 8 features a large pool complex, offering both fresh water and salt water swimming. There are pools dedicated to laps, and larger pools for free style swimming along with diving boards.

Entertainment Options: Deck 8 is the location for a wide variety of entertainment options including a karaoke bar, holodecks, and a bowling lane. There is a lot of configurable spaces here for placement of other options depending on the cultural preferences of the crew, for example the bowling lanes can be refitted to something more appropriate for Vulcans, Andorians, or whatever crew the Luna has. With the exception of the holodecks, this floor is meant mostly for physical recreation options with real settings being preferred. This includes restaurants, bars and other dinning options largely staffed by holographic staff.

Holosuites: Located on decks Seven, Eight, and Nine the holosuits are smaller versions of the holodeck ideal for smaller groups. They are often used for meditation or other solitary activities.

Missions

The New Ship: The new crew takes the USS Luna out for a shakedown cruise into The Triangle and the Romulan Republic.
