3788 Scale Fed Classic X-Ship Command Cruiser (CX)

Late in the General War, the command cruiser NCC-1749 Vincennes was converted to use new technology designed to improve its combat power. The “strakes” were an integral element of X-technology and provided for improved sensors and shields. They also were used to radiate the considerable surplus heat from the technology.

The experiment was only partly successful, but led to production of 12 more ships of this type, one built every year as new construction until the year after the Andromedans first attacked the Federation, after which production increased. Production of battlecruisers was eventually terminated when the advanced technology design proved itself.

These ships, being more powerful than heavy cruisers, formed the core of battle groups during the final days of the General War and during the Andromedan War. As these ships were revolutionary, they were named for battles in various revolutions: NCC-1749 Vincennes, NCC-1771 Revolution, NCC-1772 Paris Commune, NCC-1773 Ayacucho, NCC-1774 Long March, NCC-1775 Krasny Barikaddy, NCC-1776 Bunker Hill (which led the Federation fleet in Operation Unity), NCC-1777 Dien Bien Phu, NCC-1778 Managua, NCC-1779 Alamo, NCC-1780 Cinco De Mayo, NCC-1781 Cowpens, NCC-1782 Masada, and NCC-1701A Enterprise. The fans asked for this smooth-saucer version as a classic look and for ease of adding decals.

This ship is available in a variety of materials. Ships are unpainted, use standard flight stands available from many sources, and, while designed for gaming, make fine display pieces.
