Implemented into the Brigid variant's design was the isometric dispersal array, which allowed the starship to release a single, devastating, cylindrical blast of electrical energy. The Rademaker variant was also equipped with a multidimensional graviton shield, which provided protection for the starship from the effects of gravity wells and other spacial phenomena.įurther expanding on the standard Vesta, the Brigid-subclass was developed by drawing upon the technological advancements of the early 25th century. It had a more oval saucer and larger nacelles, as well as a wider shuttle bay. The variant was a loose hybrid between the standard Vesta and the Aventine variant. This allowed the starship to reroute main power to its deflector dish, which then enabled the vessel to fire a quantum field focus phaser through its main deflector.Īs with the Aventine variant, Rademaker-class was developed as part of a refit of the USS Rademaker. The Aventine variant had a sharper saucer and pylons that angled forward, giving the class a more sleek profile than the original Vesta.Ī quantum field focus controller was also installed in the Aventine variant. While in for a refit, the Vesta-class USS Aventine was given several upgrades and dubbed a new subclass. The system created a temporary, large fermion field around the starship, which bolstered the Vesta's shields and structural integrity. By the 25th century, Starfleet engineers were incorporating sympathetic fermion transceivers into Vesta-class starships as they entered space dock for repairs or were constructed new.
