TREKORION: UFS Interceptor 1103 Heavy Retrofit

Description
Inspired by the NX-01 Refit that we never got to see in the show!

Given most early productions such as the Interceptor Corvette had an initial life expectancy of 20-to-25 years after the initial recall for refits, it became frighteningly apparent to the Admirals of the Federation that a large portion of their outter rim patrol vessels would need to be recalled for decomissioning due to their capabilities falling short after the mass implementation of Nao-magnetic particle deflectors (Naonite Shields). As the recall time drew closer, and communications with neighboring races began to re-establish after the collapse, a small amount of time and resources were put together to establish a retrofitting program, starting with the faithful Interceptor Class Corvette.

Engineers familiar with the older technology found in the Interceptors were called upon to design a successful retrofit within a time span of 4 months. Given the limitations based on the ships size, Convertable space, and bare minimum crew compliment, the solution was to add a specialized secondary hull. Its final draft, despite being appealing to the higher ups, had its general potential use in other older designs measured as minimal at best, seeing as only the interceptor suffered from size constraints. In exchange for reduced cargo capacity, the ship was retrofitted with a rather primitive shielding system- still greating enhancing its combat potential. The overheating problems were solved with the addition of a larger warp governor located in the secondary hull, and a portion of crew quarters also being relocated in exchange for additional Primary hull reinforcement, and an intense overhaul of the Bridge module incorporated onto the interceptors frame, each vessels crew now requiring a specialized science officer aboard the bridge at all times.

With these additions the Interceptor would be considered the first Heavy corvette of its size, despite it's fair age. Its expected that these Retrofits will be designated as escorts for small mining and trade operations, or the Patrols of outter rim sectors for their extended service period, moving from their original exploration and scouting purposes, to being more combat capable.

Notable ships of the Interceptor line:
UFS Interceptor 1103-01. Awaiting Retrofit approval by Captain
UFS Venture 1103-07, Retrofit Applied. Returned to Service
