USS Prometheus NX-59650

The Prometheus was developed during the discovery of the Borg and the Domin-
ion, both hostile and powerful enemies. This led to an adaptation of the original
construction plans. In place of the intended type VIII, Phaser of the type XII and
quantum torpedo tubes were added. The shield system was upgraded and self-
adapting, in order to resist against the borg-attacks. The advanced warp engine
had a high structural integrity.
These technologies combined made the prototype USS Prometheus, when it was
launched in late 2373, to be one of the most massively armed vessels of its size.
The small size, the incredible speed and manoeuvrability gave the Prometheus a
nine times larger combat capacity compared with ships of same size.
