Mantis History

The Mantis class was developed to fight along side with the Defiant in skirmishes,
but the first prototype was made not long after the defiant and was cancelled after the
testing of the new weapons and shields failed on test (the shields were later tested and
used on the sovereign class) and the engineers saw very little need for such a ship at
the time as the defiant was a success and was cheaper to maintain. But when the war
started with the Dominion, newer, more up-to-date ships were required and Captain Hooker
of the fallen federation starship Trident saw the potential of the Mantis class and took
his proposal to Starfleet Command itself. After many talks they agreed and the Mantis
project was back on track. At this point the weapons had to be upgraded as well as a bigger
warp core, new warp engines and improved shield systems. It was the first ship to include
an experimental phaser strips which emitted a blue phaser blast, which the engineers jokingly
nicknamed Quantum Phasers to follow the same path as Quantum torpedoes. She has a
staggering 8 Torpedoes tubes at the front which fire 3 at a time and fire 24 at a time.
Due to the large number of tubes, she has longer reload time compared to other ships, and
the new Phasers recharge time is longer than standard phasers.
Constructed at the Mars Utopia Shipyards in the Sol System and over 500m long, has
over 21 decks with holoemitters on each one (also used on the Prometheus class ships) so
that in case of a emergency the EMH (Emergency Medical Hologram) can assist the medical team
no matter where the wounded are, or if needed the crew can use the experimental holographic
commandos whenever the ship is boarded. The crew compliment is almost the same as the
Intrepid class as more room was needed for ship systems and armament. The shuttle bays have
the facilities to hold a fighter wing instead of shuttles, which can give the
ship an upper hand in a skirmish.
When the ship was completed, Starfleet command were so impressed with its results
in tests that the Mantis was to be given its first assignment and Capt. Hooker was offered
the post and accepted on the spot. The Mantis played a vital role in retaking planets
during the Dominion War as well as taking out defences or leading a task force into enemy territory.
