USS Mariner (NCC-94253)

The USS Mariner (NCC-94253) was a Federation Star Cruiser under the command of Captain Jenan Gage. Mariner was part of the Omega Squadron, a fleet of starships tasked with protecting the safety of the Federation/Romulan border. Mariner was the first ship from this squadron sent deep into the previously unexplored sectors formerly under strict control by the Romulan Star Empire.

Circuitry
The starship features computer systems using both traditional isolinear circuitry and bio-neural circuitry to improve performance.

Propulsion
Along with traditional thrusters, impulse engines, and warp drive, Mariner was equipped with a fully functional quantum slipstream drive. The starship used this technology to get back to Federation territory from deep within Romulan space.

Armaments
Mariner was equipped with quantum torpedoes and tetryon beam arrays. Tetryon beams are blue in color and penetrate enemies' shields more quickly due to the subatomic nature of their particles. Since these particles are a property of subspace, they become highly energetic when they are extruded into normal space.

Auxiliary craft
Mariner had a variety of auxiliary craft including a captain’s yacht, shuttles, fighters, and at least one all-terrain buggy.
 * Captain’s yacht
 * Shuttles
 * Sutherland (NCC-94253/1)
 * Fontana (NCC-94253/2)
