It was designed to be able to defeat any one enemy Star Destroyer, two heavy cruisers, or an entire line of smaller Imperial support ships. Its small size often lead to it being referred to as a "pocket Star Destroyer", much as the later Turbulent-class would be as well. Even with a structure that was a significant departure from the Imperial-class, especially the lack of a command tower, the Nebula was often mistaken for an Imperial design due to its angular lines. The Nebula-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Defender-class Star Destroyer, was the largest, most powerful warship design in the New Republic's New Class Modernization Program.Īlthough it was only 1,040 meters long (65% of the length of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer), the Nebula-class was built to be a match for an Imperial II.

Perfected in 2374, the PDP destroys incoming torpedoes before they can do any damage. Point defense phaser The initial concept for this weapon goes back as far as the 20th century, with the Strategic Defense Initiative. The effect creates a temporal disturbance in the space-time continuum, allowing two of the same ship to exist simultaneously in different locations. Gemini effect The Gemini Effect was created as a result of Doctor Paul Manheim's temporal research in 2364. It disables the shields of a group of enemy ships for a short time, allowing weapons to damage the hull and systems directly. Shield disruptor This weapon was based on technology adapted from the Breen Energy dampening weapon. The tactical configuration was sometimes referred to as battle cruisers by 2379. Whilst these tactical upgrades were used sparingly during the Dominion War, the systems were heavily used during the Borg incursions of 23. Through this design strategy, the Nebula-class was able to gain an impressive array of specialised weapons and defensive systems. The key aim was to increase their defensive and offensive capabilities so that they could remain in a fire-fight a lot longer. ( ST reference: Starship Spotter)ĭuring the Dominion War, Starfleet worked on a key number of tactical upgrades to all types of starship that would be used in combat against Dominion forces. During the Dominion War, of course, the most common variant was the tactical configuration. Several configurations-including a tactical pod, sensor pod, cargo pod and probe pod-had been fielded by the 2380s. The Nebula-class is well-known for being a testbed of modular components, with the vessel's upper outboard structures varying from vessel to vessel.
