In order to streamline the development process, but mainly to cut costs, the MSC began with the hull of the Dominion War era veteran [[Yeager Class (retired)]]. The computer core was then upgraded to enable the significant increase to the amount of systems to be automated. Structural improvements were applied to enable a more stable warp field and impulse velocity, topped with a more powerful warp core. The increase in warp power output enabled stronger shields and the addition of ablative armor. Phaser alignment was completely readjusted, as were torpedo tube placements. Lastly, the vessel was configured for troop carrying and deployments, to include small dropship capabilities. The complete product was designed for a new mission profile akin to a blockade runner of sorts. Her primary role was to deploy troops covertly or during low intensity conflicts. However, with her increase firepower and durability in terms of defensive power, the class was also capable of providing fire support to operations where needed. Because of the combination of speed and power of the new MSC, she quickly became a favorite for SFMC [[Recon]] and [[Star Fleet Special Operations Command|SFSOCOM]] missions, with several being ordered by SFSOCOM for exclusive use and additional refitting.

Class History

The Wake Island class was developed in the manner different to previous vessel classes utilized in the Marine Assault Fleet, namely the Gibraltar Class, in that it was not a rebuild and upgrade of an existing class.The lead designer was then-Colonel Mirax Terrik, acting Director of Marine Research and Development Command and the time.


The design differs from normal Star Fleet design philosophy quite radically, as the lack of fluid and graceful lines have been replaced with sharp and angular edges. The original design was heavily inspired by similar vessels of Klingon design, which combined the morale-crushing effect of a vessel looking like a predator with the naturally-occurring advantages of such as design. The original parameters of the design called for speed, and agility without sacrificing personnel lift capability. The complete product was designed for a new mission profile akin to a blockade runner of sorts; her primary role was to deploy troops quickly and covertly or in situations where heavier vessels could not approach and lighter vessels would not survive. However, with her surprising firepower and durability in terms of defensive power, the class was also capable of providing fire support to operations where needed. Because of the combination of speed and power of the new MSC, she quickly became a favorite for SFMC Recon and SFSOCOM missions, with several being ordered by SFSOCOM for exclusive use and additional refitting.


The class gets its name from an historical battle involving Earth's United States Marine Corps during the Second World War. The Battle of Wake Island featured a drastically outnumbered defending Marine force, facing two consecutive Imperial Japanese Invasion forces. While their defeat was inevitable and eventual, the Marines on Wake Island held out against insurmountable odds, and defeated well over ten times their number in men and equipment before being forced to surrender.
