Exploring The Future

The USS Harbinger is a modified Sovereign-class starship set in the 28th century.

The ship year is currently 2788.

The USS Harbinger patrols a new region of space–The Sigma Orion sextant. This unexplored area of space is unknown, so the engineers at Starfleet modified a Sovereign class starship to launch from Deep Space 90 to explore and make first contact with species who live there

Because the Harbinger has multiple openings on her manifest, we encourage you to look there instead.

These difference security levels exist on the USS Harbinger And are used by the computer to determine the access granted to an officer when accessing information.

• Alpha 1 This is the highest level onboard the ship, and is only granted to the Commanding Officer and the Executive Officer, allowing them full and complete access to a majority of files on the ship. It is superseded only by the clearance of Omega 1, which is granted mostly to admirals.

• Alpha 2 A clearance given only to the second officer and the Chief Intelligence Officer. It gives access to virtually every file that Alpha 1 gives, except the mission briefing from Starfleet.

• Bravo 1 A clearance given to Department Heads. It allows access to all files needed to lead a department. Any ship-wide relevant files are also accessible.

• Bravo 2 A clearance given to the assistant Department Heads within a department, grants limited access to the above.

• Bravo 3 The only third-level clearance, given to general officers within a department, and allows access to files needed to complete assignments.

• Gamma 1 Given to the civilians aboard the ship to restrict access to important files.

• Phase Torpedo: special torpedoes that can phase through objects on their way to a designated target. Comes in Photon and Quantum variants.

• Phaser Mk X: A hand phaser variant with 33 settings, 16 cutting, 16 stun, and 1 kill.

• Phaser rifle Mk XII: A phaser rifle that can switch between rapid fire automatic, sniper, and bolt fire modes.

• Mk XII tricorder: A black touch-screen tricorder, the medical variant is identical, with the ability to send medical data to the ship from an away team. Both have small, hand worn scanners stored in the back, with a small black strap that retracts into the scanner.

The Sovereign class used for the Harbinger is modified from the standard. Among these are the following:

Nicating Nacelles Originally present on Intrepid Class such as Voyager. Have been modified to work with the Sovereign class.

Emergency Warp Engine Located in the lower center part of the ship, the emergency warp engine can output a maximum of Warp 4 and activates automatically upon all engines going down.

Diplomatic Headquarters Considered the forward HQ for diplomatic teams, the Harbinger has had one shuttle bay removed to make this state-of-the-art area.

The uniforms used in the 28th century have several modifications designed for comfort or practicality.

Biomesh A poly-alloy weave embedded in the fabric makes the surrounding environment comfortable for any species–without having to touch environmental controls. Also can be used to give a baseline for the medical department.

Water Resistance The newest generation uniforms were designed “like the feathers on a duck's back” to be water resistant, and the water just slides off. The uniforms can also detect a water-based activity and inflate or deflate as needed to keep the wearer above water.

Camouflage pattern The design on the colored part of the uniform was redesigned with a camouflage pattern to make it slightly easier for uniformity.

Biological monitoring Coupled with the commbadge, these uniforms can provide an up-to-the-minute medical report of the vital signs of the wearer.

The uniforms worn in the later 2700's were a variant of a wartime uniform designed for the war with the Romulans. Featuring a two-piece jumpsuit, this uniform was mostly black, featuring a division-colored undershirt and a raised-collar design on the outer jacket where rank insignia were affixed. Division-colored stripes–three approx. 1/4 in stripes–were worn on both sleeves.

A new combadge was introduced for this uniform, featuring a singular delta with no underlying design, and, unlike combadges from previous eras, was colored gold (for officers) and bronze (for enlisted). A variant of the combadge, seen in silver, is common amongst starbase personnel–a holdover from the previous design.

A cadet variant–absent from the previous design–was also introduced, featuring a dark colored undershirt and division color stripes. The version of this uniform worn aboard vessels–such as on a cadet's training cruise–featured a silver outline around the stripes.

An optional variant of this uniform for senior officers consists of a dark grey jacket with division-stripes. This version, however, is little worn after the war, as for some it bares too much of a resemblance to the wartime grey jumpsuits used across starfleet.

A returning addition to the uniform is the reintroduction of assignment patches, however these are integrated parts of the uniforms–therefore requiring a ship issue a new crewmember new uniform jackets upon assignment. These often include the name of the assignment (or the registry number, in the case of ships with long or multi-word names), a logo unique to that assignment (the harbinger's is a comet encircling a nebula), and either the Starfleet motto (Ex Astris, Scientia, From the stars, knowledge) or the Ship's registry number.

The boots are a combat variant that has remained required even though the war has ended. The pants have pockets on the sides of the thighs and calves, allowing for additional storage. An optional black belt is included for all officers. Security and Tactical officers are also issued a thigh holster for their phaser–although if they opt for the traditional waist or shoulder holsters, it is optional. Engineering officers are offered the option for a one-piece coveralls in black, with the division-stripes present, as well as a work/tool belt and flame and plasma retardant gloves.

A specialized medical variant is available on some deep space explorers and starbases, and features an inverted design in a darker teal color than previously seen. This variant also has a lab coat and field jacket version with larger pockets designed to carry large amounts of medical supplies.

With addition to the uniform modifications already in production in Starfleet, special warfare uniforms (for Marines/Security only) are further crafted with a energy dispersal fiber network that is capable of absorbing most of the directed energy from energy weapons such as phasers/disruptors up to a limited number of times. (Between 3-6, depending on the garment and the wearer never knows how many). While the wearer still suffers some effects of getting hit by the weapon, it's more of a mild sting rather than a deadly blast. It cannot differentiate between kill/stun settings either…energy is energy. Once it absorbs it's maximum amount, the energy network is 'burnt out' and the normal effects of directed energy weapons is in full effect.

In addition it contains a smart non-Newtonian system embedded within the fibers of the uniform. Once it senses an impact of sufficient force, the garment is then 'tripped' creating a cerasteel plate system of small, overlapping scales (think scale male or chain ring armor). Once activated, the section of garment (such as a chest for body shots, an arm, etc) is permanently 'locked' into that configuration until it's reclaimed through the transporter. Each section acts independantly, however, one time the wearer can activate this feature turning his uniform into hard combat armor, where upon the entire uniform transfornts into an EVA locked combat armor. (this probably also initiates another dependant programmed mini transporter to 'port' in the necessary components to turn it into fully functioning combat armor.
