Changes: Theta class (starship)

Revision as of 00:12, 16 October 2014

The Theta-class raider was a type of starship used by the Miradorn during the 2360s and 70s.

The Theta-class raider was equipped with deflector shields and armed with a dual forward photon torpedo bank and two wing mounted cannons for launching concentrated plasma charges. With this weaponry it could easily outgun small ships, such as Starfleet Danube-class runabouts. Its maximum velocity was capable of exceeding warp 5. (DS9: "Vortex")

Ships of the class

Certain

Ah-Kel and Ro-Kel's raider

Uncertain

Baran's mercenary vessel

Background information

In "Vortex", the runabout's computer identified Ah-Kel and Ro-Kel's raider as "Miradorn vessel, Theta-class", suggesting that the ships of this class are constructed by the Miradorn.

Baran's mercenary vessel, later seen in TNG: "Gambit, Part I" and "Gambit, Part II", was not specified as a Theta-class ship in those episodes, but based on its numerous similarities, unmodified studio model and use as a mercenary ship, suggest it is also a ship of this class.

A model of the Miradorn starship was released by Galoob as part of their Star Trek Micro Machines collection.

The CCG: Second Edition named this type of vessel as a Ma-Karn-class ship.

-The runabout's [[computer]] identified it as "Miradorn vessel, ''Theta''-class", suggesting this type of vessel is built by this [[civilization]]. Of course, it is unlikely that the Miradorn use the [[Human]] [[Greek]] alphabet, so "[[theta]]" may be a Starfleet designation.

-[[Baran's mercenary vessel]], later seen in {{TNG|Gambit, Part I}} and {{e|Gambit, Part II}}, was not specified as a ''Theta''-class, however, based on its numerous character similarities (maximum warp, similar ship and [[crew]] size), same generalized identification (a "mercenary ship"), and unmodified [[studio model]], it may be reasonably assumed that is of the same (or similar) [[starship classification|class]].
