A brief video (2:58) of a fan-made, work-in-progress “Sparrow” class starship that might have existed in Starfleet during the old show (TOS) era of Star Trek. This model is under construction. Please subscribe for updates.
The goal is to design and virtually construct a starship that embodies the familiar Enterprise configuration of a saucer, secondary hull and warp nacelles…in as small a vessel form as practical; sort of a “mini-Enterprise”.
In time I plan to export a completed model into a shared, virtual environment. I’m also building a 1:96 scale model concurrently.
This compact yet fast and manoeuvrable class of vessel is inspired by Constitution, Daedalus, Pioneer and Nova class starships. Its primary mission profile is as a science vessel performing short-range scouting and surveying.
The Sparrow class might also serve other mission profiles: training ship, short-range supply or express courier, diplomatic transport or covert, surveillance vessel.
In times of conflict I imagine these vessels may have been pressed into service in a manner similar to the “Liberty Ships” of WWII; being quickly and easily constructed by Starfleet and numerous in production due to their reduced scale and simplified form.
A tactical version of the Sparrow class has all science and astrometric labs removed and replaced with auxiliary generators to augment deflector shields and phaser banks. The forward probe and beacon launch tube is refitted for photon torpedoes. Additionally, both aft airlocks and adjacent fabrication bays are converted into a pair of rear-facing torpedo launch tubes.
The “Sparrow Manoeuvre” involves multiple Sparrow class tactical variants warping in, assuming formation in an escape trajectory at full impulse, before firing torpedoes in concert and warping away.
The standard crew complement for the science variant of the Sparrow class is 45:
Captain
Chief Medical Officer
Chief Science Officer
Chief Engineer
Chief Security / Tactical Officer
8 Junior Officers (2 Science, 2 Security / Tactical, 2 Engineering, 1 Medicine, 1 Communications)
16 Ensign
16 Crewmen, enlisted
Length = 70m / 240’
Width = 29.3m /96’
Height = 19.5m / 64’
The Sparrow class starship features 4 decks:
Deck 1: bridge, emergency hatch, captain’s quarters, situation/ready room, emergency batteries, computer cores (P&S), deuterium tanks, matter injector, warp governor, shuttle bay control room, cargo storage, shield emitters, dorsal phaser banks.
Deck 2: airlocks, crew’s quarters, galley, mess & recreation hall, sickbay, sonic showers, lifeboats (6 x 8 person), navigational deflector control room, armoury, main engineering and warp core reactor, primary EPS conduits (P&S), shuttle bay (including a single class F shuttlecraft), cargo transporter, fabrication bays, impulse reactors and control rooms (P&S), observation corridors.
Deck 3: personnel transporter rooms (2 x 4 person (P&S), shield generator room, structural integrity field generator, science labs (1-4), atmospheric processor, emergency batteries, subspace tranceiver, water storage, aft tractor beam generator and emitter.
Deck 4: astrometric labs (P&S), antimatter injector and storage pods, warp core ejection system, planetary sensors, long-range sensors, sensor control room, launch tube (probes and beacons) control room, waste processor, ventral phaser banks.
