History of the Ericsson-class

 

The USS Providence is the second Ericsson-class starship to be built. Originally commissioned as the U.S.S. Marco Polo, the ship was renamed to replace the Intrepid-class U.S.S. Providence after its untimely destruction. The most noteworthy systems include a holographic cloaking device, greater use and efficiency of holographic technology throughout the main areas of the ship, multi-layered regenerating shields, metaphasic shields, and a matter-to-antimatter (MAM) conversion generator to increase the fuel supply for long-range missions.

 

The Ericsson-class starships are designated as long-rang scouts that are equipped for long-term, long-range missions. The types of missions that this class of starship usually perform includes simple planetary surveys, mapping, first contact, and basic scientific missions.

 

This class of starship houses a crew complement of approximately 60 persons; however, the crew can be supplemented by up to 40 holographic crew members including all bridge stations, EMH (mark I and mark II), engineering stations, transporter operators, and extra security personnel in all areas of the ship.
