The U.S.S. Enterprise, a heavy cruiser, is the most powerful ship in the Federation. The following ship systems are at your disposal:
• WARP DRIVE (for most of your travelling needs)
• IMPULSE DRIVE (for precise short range maneuvering)
• PHOTON TORPEDOS (powerful, sometimes inaccurate weapon)
• PHASERS (accurate, less powerful weapon)
• SHIELDS (critical for defense)
• TRANSPORTERS (for transporting Away Teams)
• SHIP'S COMPUTER (for finding things and making life easier)
• AWAY TEAMS (for evacuating the Federation Outposts)
• ENGINEERING (for managing energy & repairs efficiently)
The Enterprise has room in its holds to temporarily house ALL of the colonists from ALL of the outposts, until you can get them to safety at a Starbase. It has the destructive firepower to match almost any enemy ship (if used properly) and can outrun almost every enemy as well.
