As the borders of the Federation have continued to expand away from Paris and Starfleet Command, the need for a mobile command platform ready to serve as a nerve center to Federation efforts far from home has only grown, and the Odyssey was created to answer that need. While the contemporary Century-class is meant to conduct independent exploratory missions far from Federation space, the Odyssey-class serves as Starfleet’s premier diplomatic platform, as well as its most sophisticated command-and-control vessel.

By sheer mass, Odyssey-class starships are amongst the largest vessels in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, and certainly amongst the largest ever built by Starfleet. Built to new standards in crew comfort and with such advances as holographic control interfaces, reconfigurable command spaces, formidable defenses, and the largest shipboard communications arrays ever built. Odyssey serves as a roving embassy and command-and-control center, as effective holding a peace summit as she is coordinating exploratory missions from the frontier.

Class History

Initial designs for what would eventually become the Odyssey-class were first started in the 2360s, though much of this work ended up informing the Sovereign and Century-class designs before Odyssey finally began construction in the 2380s. While not intended to be launched until the early 2390s, the two prototypes Odyssey and Verity were rushed out of the yards with their partially-completed hulls filled with quarters for refugees to participate in the Romulan evacuation and to clear yard space to build transports. This move actually saved the class, as these two vessels were not present at Utopia Planitia during the attack in 2385.

Following the destruction of the shipyard, the two prototypes were recalled to other fleet yards and completed under high-security conditions, re-launching in 2400. A construction contract has been issued, but given their size and crew requirements, they will be as rare as they are capable for the foreseeable future.

Shipboard Life

Odyssey is significantly larger than even other explorers and her crew enjoys a very high standard of accommodation. There are private sleeping accommodations for all crewmembers, though all personnel ranked ensign or lower share suites with varying numbers of bedrooms connected to common areas and sanitary facilities. Lieutenants and above have their own quarters. All crew members are allowed to combine their living quarters into one larger unit, should they so request. There are four extra-large suites spanning two decks that are reserved for the commanding officer, executive officer, and VIPs, which contain multiple bedrooms, an entertaining area, and a private study, all in the interest of giving senior officers on this very prestigious, stressful assignment adequate facilities to rest and recharge. All quarters aboard Odyssey are capable of being configured to meet any environmental need for a class M, L, K, O, or P, environment, with other configurations being possible with an additional life support module. Null-gravity and high-gravity configurations are also available.

Communal recreation spaces are plentiful on the Odyssey. There are eight full-sized holodecks suited for parties of eight or more, and twenty-four smaller holosuites which are suited for two to four people, all with the highest levels of holographic fidelity available. Recreation decks are available in both the primary and secondary hull with a wide variety of games and other entertainments. Fitness facilities are also comprehensive, with recreational and conditioning spaces appropriate for all species serving aboard the ship. An expansive arboretum deck is found in the saucer, along with two public pools. Crew lounges ring the entirety of the saucer’s edge, with a large two-story lounge located on the centerline of the bow, connected to a wide promenade that allows crewmembers to take strolls where they can take in the views of the stars through the lounge windows and get in some exercise. Directly aft of the main lounge is a four-deck “mall,” which is connected to a number of restaurants, replicator facilities, and other similar facilities staffed by holographic attendants and/or civilians, depending on the particular ship.

Medical facilities are extensive, rivaling starbase hospitals. The medical deck on Deck 10 is split between two large sickbay units, with two surgical bays, four medical labs, office space for four physicians, four isolation rooms, and a fourteen-bed ward, as well as numerous individual patient rooms, dedicated medical storage bays, and industrial replication facilities. There are additional field sickbays located in other areas of the ship, as well as another large sickbay unit in the secondary hull.

Odyssey has the largest standard crew complement of any ship in the fleet, because for every economization through automation found aboard her is matched by two more bleeding-edge innovations that require additional crew to handle them, especially with regard to having two full warp drive assemblies and all of their required support equipment.
