Description and Notes
Fleet data: The recent number of Starfleet designs had called for larger, more expensive and time-consuming vessels capable of performing a number of roles. The Intrepid-class was designed to counter this way of thinking and return to the formation of smaller, faster, more effective starships that could continue the exploration of the galaxy. The Intrepid-class used many unique designs, among them the first ship of its size to be capable of planetary landing and flight. This class also introduced the bioelectric gel-packs: a new way of transmitting computer data quickly and efficiently. Although not designed for heated combat the Intrepid-class is designed to take a considerable beating and still be able to flee the scene for help. Ten ships of this line have been built and another eighty-nine are proposed.

Noteworthy vessels / service records / encounters: U.S.S. Intrepid, prototype; U.S.S. Voyager, presumed lost, now known to have crossed into the Delta Quadrant.

Author's Notes
I did increase the shield capabilities to reflect the ability of the ship to take such a beating each week on "Voyager.” Since it’s known that these vessels carry 38 torpedoes I just divided them up evenly between Photon and Quantum torpedoes.

Particularly observant readers will notice that even though the class has 4 computers the power requirement is only two. This is to reflect the efficiency of bioelectric gel-packs. I also increased the capabilities of her sensors since her primary mission is exploration.
