U.S.S. Gryphon Information

   The U.S.S Gryphon was launched on stardate blahblah from spacedock orbiting Earth. The U.S.S Gryphon is 345 meters in length, has a sustainable cruise velocity of warp 9.975, and 15 decks. A standard Intrepid Class ship has a crew complement of about 140. Some of the traditional computer circuitry has been replaced with bio-neural gel packs that contain synthetic neural cells, speeding up computer response time by organizing information more efficiently. Intrepid Class ships lack the ability to seperate the Engineering and Primary Hulls, however they do have ability to Land on M-Class planets, a feature unique in Starfleet at this time. The U.S.S. Gryphon is a Refitted Intrepid Class vessel. The standard Intrepid class was refitted after the U.S.S Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant. All Intrepid class starships now have an Astrometrics lab, as well as more advanced shuttlecraft, both of which proved to be of great use to the U.S.S Voyager. In addition to these upgrades, the previously untested Planetary Landing Sequence has now been streamlined, utilizing information from the U.S.S. Voyager, the first Intrepid Class ship to perform such a maneuver. The Refit was designed and constructed under the supervision of Fleet Admiral Kyle Pinkerton and Admiral Patrick Kenzie.

   The Danube Class Runabout, first commissioed by Starfleet in 2368, is the standard Shuttlecraft for the Intrepid class refit. Danube Class Runabouts include a short range two person transporter, seating for two people and two flight crew, as well as living quarters and a replaceable mission-specific midsection.
