<p>1 revision</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The &#039;&#039;&#039;Guardian class orbital defence platform&#039;&#039;&#039; is [[Starfleet]]’s answer to the [[Cardassian]] designs built and deployed during the [[Dominion War|war]] with the [[Federation Alliance]]. The fleet which attacked the [[Chin&#039;toka System]] was decimated by these immobile platforms and only the smart thinking by the crew of the USS &#039;&#039;Defiant&#039;&#039; allowed the Alliance fleet to emerge victorious.<br /> <br /> The surprise [[Breen]] attack on [[Earth]] also forced the Federation to rethink its antiquated defence platforms. The Breen fleet was virtually untouched by the platforms during the attack and several Starfleet facilities were severely damaged, including Starfleet Headquarters. The years of safety had allowed the defences of Earth to slowly dwindle. Once the smoke had cleared the [[Advanced Starship Design Bureau]] put forth a directive for a new defense platform that would be used to defend Federation core worlds as well as Starfleet [[shipyard]]s and design facilities. The directive indicated the total number of platforms that would need to be procured would be in thousands.<br /> <br /> Loosely based on the Cardassian [[Kimeki class]] ODPs, they borrow some specifications from them. The first is [[regenerative shielding]] common to the Cardassian design. With a small volume to protect, they provide the best defense possible. [[Ablative armour]] was considered as well for when the [[shield]]s were knocked down, but it was deemed to expensive and the design team settled for [[duranium]] armour.<br /> <br /> The weapon systems are equally impressive. At the tip of each arm is a [[Type U]] pulse [[Phaser technology|phaser]] cannon similar to the design located on [[Defiant class]] and [[Hornet class]] starships. Also equipping the platforms is a pair of [[micro-torpedo launcher]]s. She is stocked with 245 micro-torpedoes. [[Micro-photon torpedo]]es are standard but all Federation torpedo types are compatible with the micro-system, including [[quantum torpedo]]es.<br /> <br /> However, the Federation platforms are designed to avoid the same flaw that destroyed the Cardassian defenses at Chin’toka. The Chin’toka defenses were beaten when the crew of the USS &#039;&#039;Defiant&#039;&#039; was able to deceive the platforms into destroying their own power source. As a result the Federation platforms are equipped with two fusion generators providing power for the weapons, [[sensor]]s and shields.<br /> <br /> [http://www.obsidianfleet.net/index.php?option=shipdb&amp;detail=52 Guardian specs.]<br /> [[Category:Technology]]<br /> [[Category:Weapon]]</div>
