  VII. Hull Layers and Materials

  The outermost of the hull is pure neutronium and tritanium alloy that weave and interlock. A layer of electron bonded duranium and neutronium follows. Insulation and neutronium truss framework follow. The innermost is a tritanium fabric chemically bonded with titanium foil. Coloring is standard Starfleet gray.

  VIII. Structural Integrity System

  Failure of the SIF will cause immediate collapse of the ship if it is traveling at faster-than-light speeds or at high impulse maneuvering. The SIF is mandatory to the ship and its crew. It withstands tremendous acceleration encountered when the drive systems are engaged. There are 6 primary SIF generators and 3 backup generators on the Horizon.

 IX. Inertia Dampening System

  With speeds faster than light, the inertia would tear a person apart. The IDF system protects the inside of the ship by emitting a low level subspace field inside the ship. It conforms to the Starfleet Safety Regulations of keeping the subspace field low enough so the exposure is within safe limits.

  X. Control Areas

  MAIN BRIDGE

  The main bridge controls primary operations of the starship. It is located on deck 1, on top of the saucer section. The main bridge directly supervises all primary mission operations and coordinates all departmental activities. An OOD, Officer of the Deck (senior bridge crew officer) must be on duty at all times.

  ENGINEERING

  Engineering controls all engine systems and power distribution. Monitors ship damage and dispatches damage control teams to the damaged areas. Other main ship functions including navigation, sensors and Main Computer functions can also be accessed here.

  TACTICAL

  Is responsible for defensive systems including phasers, shields, torpedoes, etc. Handles internal security and provides data on encountered vessels. Can handle communications.

  MISSION OPERATIONS

  Mission Ops is a support position for Operations Management. Also responsible for monitoring status of secondary missions. Handles low level conflicts with regards to the primary mission. Can monitor away team status, mission tricorder information, anticipates away team requirements.

  OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

  Responsible for main sensor input and computer functions. Coordinates ship activities and operations, can handle communications, away team status, transporter systems and internal sensors. Also responsible for power allocation and conferring with XO on duty schedules and systems-share.

  SCIENCE

  Science is responsible for scans, reports and other types of pertinent data on all types of encountered phenomenon. The Science department consists of a staff of officers specializing in many different fields of science.

 XI. Bridge Layout

  The bridge is in a circular construction, the Captain's chair is placed near the aft wall, overlooking most of the other duty stations. The Helm console is on the left and Operations Management is on the right. Both stations face forward and in, crew members standing. The main viewscreen is on the front wall. Behind the Captains chair is the Mission Operations and Science 2 viewscreens and consoles. The dedication plaque is mounted on the right wall. The turbolift entrance is at the back left of the bridge. Beside the turbolift entrance is the door to the Captain's Readyroom.

  XII. Control Codes

  Like most Starfleet vessels, the Horizon's command functions can be accessed with the correct prefix codes. The Commanding Officer, Executive Officer and Second Officer are in possession of these codes. Those 3 officers must input their authorization codes to commence any self-destruct sequence and or most emergency procedures.

XIII. Modes

  There are typically 6 different modes of operation on the Horizon.

  Cruise Mode - Normal Operations, the main engine core is running at 65% and the weapons are offline, shields are down, sensors are on regular operating radius.

  Yellow Alert - Cautious Operations, the main engine core is brought up to 100% power, weapons are placed on standby status, shields may be raised.

  Red Alert - Alert Operations, the main engine core is brought to 100%, shields are automatically raised and all weapons are brought to standby status.

  External Support Mode - Docked at starbase, sometimes called Condition Blue, engine core is dropped to 20% power nominal and the main power trunks are routed through the starbase's power system. Weapons and defensive shields are offline.

  Reduced Power Mode - Power is below 26% of normal, often for damage control. Main engine core is offline as well as weapons. The reactors will try to regenerate as much power as possible and the bussard ramscoops are collecting hydrogen atoms.

  Non-essential systems are taken offline.

  Silent Running - Power is at 50%, there are no active scans and communications are blacked out. Power output is considerably lowered due to silent running energy protocols. Warp and impulse engine signatures are cut by 50%.

XIV. Emergency Procedures

  In the event of a crisis situation, the Commanding Officer and or XO and Second Officer can access the Main Computer and initiate emergency procedures.

  Code 1

  All reactor systems will overload to create an enormous fireball that will destroy any nearby ships or objects of relative mass.

  Code 2

  Reactor systems will be jettisoned and the explosive bolts throughout the ship will destroy it entirely.

  Code 3

  Reactor systems will be jettisoned and the explosive bolts throughout the ship will destroy some of it.

  Code 4

  System wide shutdown, neutralizing gas is spread throughout the ship, forcefields are placed at every junction to prevent escape. Transporters, shuttlebays and off-ship communication control is turned offline. Other Command functions can be locked out as well.

  Codes 5-12

  Classified or variable to authorizing officer.

  XV. Miscellaneous

  Duty Shifts

  The Horizon has a 3 watch rotation under normal operating procedures. A senior officer must be on duty at all Control Stations including Sickbay and Helm. The officer in charge of the bridge is called the OOD, Officer of the Deck. A third of each department staff complement is to be on duty during each shift. The shifts are named, Alpha, Beta and Ceti. Alpha Shift begins at 0900 hours until 1700 hours. Beta shift begins at 1700 hours until 0100 hours. Ceti shift begins at 0100 hours to 0900 hours. Senior bridge officers are on Alpha shift 4 out of 7 days per week. Department Heads and the Command Staff also log a 2-4 hour supplemental duty shift prior to or after their regular shift 5 out of 7 days. In wartime or high alert status, "port and quarter" watches are maintained meaning half of the crew on duty for 12 hours, the other half on duty for the second half of the day.
