Alternate continuities[]

Delta Dynamics[]

Siva d (DD) 3-ortho

The original Siva configuration

In this continuity, the Sivas were a sub-class of the Syracuse-class destroyers.

USS Lucifer (NCC-521) was a Syracuse-class destroyer—of the Siva destroyer subclass—in Star Fleet service during the the mid- to late-23rd century. The newbuild members of the subclass were intended to enhance the fleet's escort capacity through the adoption of the new and radical dilithium-regulated propulsion systems and the PB-31 nacelle with its FWD-1 (and later FWD-1A) coils. The changes to support the new power generator required a profile alteration from the Syracuse-style saucer. In order to accommodate the operational, tactical, and support equipment the ship needed for its continuing anti-capital/anti-installation role, the saucer had to be modernized.

Siva Flt II d (DD) 3-ortho

Siva Flight II

In 2250, the remaining Siva and Saladin vessels, as well as eight Monoceros from the Hermes-class scouts, received upgrades of the external hull, warp nacelle, pylon, and weaponry. The new PB-32 nacelle provided cruise and maximum speeds of warp 6 and warp 8, while the weaponry was completely replaced: the torpedo systems were modified to support forced-intermix warhead supply equipment and the six phase cannons were replaced by an equal number of less massive—but far more adaptive—Type VII phaser emitters. The bridge was provided a lower target profile by being “sunk” half a deck into the surrounding superstructure. And, for utilitarian purposes, a powerful tractor beam emitter was mounted on the pylon’s trailing edge, midway between the saucer and the nacelle.
