Changes

==Project: ApparitionIncursion==Prior to the introduction of the Apparition Incursion Classed Infiltrator Star Fleet Special Intelligence Services relied on modified runabouts from various Galactic powers (other than the Federation) to ferry operations teams to missions from their base of operations. Due to the secrecy of SFSIS and the wide range of missions the teams were called upon to conduct, it wasn’t always possible to arrange for the ship serving as the base for the runabouts to be near the mission objective for a launch; this caused lengthy delays in mission completions due to the relatively low maximum speeds of the modified runabouts. What SFSIS needed was a semi-independent starship capable of high warp speeds to transport teams to their objectives and towards this end Project: Apparition Incursion was created. Drawing heavily on research generated by the Defiant class design teams as well as research from the Pathfinder project, SFSIS engineers designed the Apparition Incursion Class; a high speed, low sensor profile ship.

Designed primarily to transport personnel to and from missions, the Apparition Incursion Class is only lightly armed and was designed to rely more on its high maximum speed to escape from potentially hostile situations. This design feature, while still useful, has been negated somewhat on the only ship of the class that has entered service, the USS Apparition Incursion (the NX test platform for the technologies included in the class, was destroyed during a trial start up of the experimental engines). At the tail end of the construction phase of the Apparition Incursion an experimental, highly illegal, and extremely expensive phase cloaking device was added to aid in the ship’s ability to complete its clandestine mission profile. This phase cloak is derived from a continuation of the research conducted by the USS Pegasus, and due to the extreme cost and illegal nature of the device, it is unknown if future ships of this class will include it.

The powerplant of the ApparitionIncursion-class is a triple core, comprised of a standard warp core, mated to a quantum singularity similar to that used in Romulan vessels, mated to an intertemporal generator which actually generates power by tapping into the space-time continuum directly. This last is only used when the ship is cloaked or requires maximum power, and it's long-term environmental effects have not been verified. The powerplant combination takes up nearly 1/3 of the ship's mass and volume.

The ApparitionIncursion-class has never been designed according to any existing records, in fact many of the technologies in the ship are currently in the early research phases. The design team primarily resides at the secret base within the Saturn moon Miranda in a space-time bubble. When the Apparition Incursion returns to base or logs are submitted they use this data to improve their design concept prior to it being implemented. Actual construction has not started, and will be conducted in a space-time continuum which actually resides hundreds of thousands of years in the past. **NOTE: The USS Apparition was lost with all hands and no longer exists as of Star Date 20906.30.
