Changes: Husnock warship

Revision as of 12:59, 27 March 2014

Husnock warships were large starships operated by the Husnock prior to 2366. This type of vessel was much larger than a Galaxy-class starship, capable of being seen from the surface while in orbit, and capable of destroying all life on a planet.

In 2366, a Husnock warship attacked and destroyed a Federation colony on Delta Rana IV. Unknown to the Husnock, an energy lifeform known as a Douwd was also living on the planet in the form of Kevin Uxbridge. In retaliation for the Husnock attack, the Douwd used its enormous powers to completely destroy the entire Husnock race.

Following the Husnock attack, the USS Enterprise-D arrived to investigate finding all life destroyed except for a small patch of grass and a house within which lived the Douwd and his wife (who was really an illusion).

As the Enterprise crew grew more suspicious of Kevin, his wife, and the means by which they had survived, a warship appeared in orbit and attempted to drive the Enterprise away. The Enterprise crew initially believed this was the ship that had attacked the planet, but later discovered that the Douwd himself had created the warship to prevent them from learning the truth about his actions. (TNG: "The Survivors")

The recreated warship was a Husnock vessel, according to notes in the script, but whether or not the recreation was as or more powerful than the original remains unknown.

-The Douwd, who lived on the planet in the form of [[Kevin Uxbridge]], recreated an image of the Husnock warship in attempt to force the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|USS ''Enterprise''-D]] to leave the planet, and his home.
-Initially the vessel fired jacketed streams of [[positron]]s and [[antiproton]]s, an equivalent firepower of [[watt|forty megawatts]], which caused no damage to the ''Enterprise''. The ''Enterprise'' fired a warning shot at the ship, causing the ship to retreat from the [[solar system|system]]. The ''Enterprise'' attempted to pursue but was unable to close the gap between the two vessels, even after increasing velocity to [[warp factor|Warp 9.37]].

-The ship later reappeared, some time after the ''Enterprise'' returned to Rana IV. During its second appearance, the warship looked to the crew of the ''Enterprise'' to be much larger and much "meaner."
-:''The model of the ship was modified slightly for the second appearance: one weapon's spike was added to the underside of the ship, so the ship did look different the second time.''

-The ''Enterprise'' attempted to hail the ship to warn it to stay away from the planet. In response, the ship fired four hundred gigawatts of particle energy at the ''Enterprise'', causing superficial damage to the ship, but effectively taking down its [[shields]]. A second shot took out the rest of the ''Enterprise''s shields and caused thermal damage to the [[hull]]. Ship [[sensors]], however, were able to determine that the warship was in possession of enormous energy reserves, capable of striking with far more powerful bursts.
-Following the second attack, the ship moved into [[orbit]] of Rana IV and assumed a position over the Uxbridge residence. The ''Enterprise'' fired a full [[phaser]] and [[photon torpedo]] barrage at the ships, but caused no damage to the warship whatsoever. It was then determined that the warships defenses were able to absorb incoming matter and energy. The warship returned fire taking out the ''Enterprise''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s shields, it's weapon systems control as well as causing sixty-six casualties and some internal damage. Once the ''Enterprise'' began to limp away from the planet, the warship again left the system.
-The Husnock warship would finally make a third appearance in the system. The ''Enterprise'', which was now keeping it's distance, allowed the warship to once again enter orbit over Rana IV -- at which time it destroyed the Uxbridge residence. Following the attack, the ''Enterprise'' fired a single photon torpedo at the warship, successfully destroying it.
-[[Jean-Luc Picard|Picard]] later determined that the warship, like the Uxbridge residence, was re-creation, devised by Kevin Uxbridge to chase the ''Enterprise'' away from the planet. The confirmation of this assumption was later confirmed by Uxbridge. ([[TNG]]: "[[The Survivors]]")
