Starship- USS Corsica, Abbe Class PT Destroyer

NCC – 5308

The heavily armed USS Corsica, set for defensive patrol duties in and around the sectors surrounding Starstation India.

As an Abbe class PT destroyer, the USS Corsica, boasts one of the largest modular weapons pods in Starfleet.

Her ventrally mounted warp nacelles are spaced and balanced specifically to boost overall speed performance.

Though it does reduce her overall range, this nacelle emplacement, combined with her lighter mass, allows her to reach trouble spots more quickly.

While certainly no secondary hull in the traditional sense, the prominent weapons module dedicates a significant portion of its internal volume to the ship’s primary torpedo bays, housed at the fore and aft ends of the module. (Stand-in WIP image for later render upgrade)

The module is fitted with 8 projectile launch tubes: 4 targeted forward, and the remaining 4 bearing aft. Though intended primarily for high yield weapons ordnance and rapid torpedo salvo, the entire platform also serves as a means for launching long range science probes and autonomous sensor drones.

The USS Corsica sports a relatively low profile for a ship bolstering as many of the defensive and offensive capabilities as it does.

The Corsica has one of the more unique impulse engine assemblies in Starfleet given its center line placement on the primary hull where it connects to the ship’s main warp assembly. (Stand-in WIP image for later render upgrade)
