On these pages you will find a wealth of information on the USS PATRIOT, its crew, and its technical definition. This site should help you understand how the ship runs, who does what, and what has happened in its history. Please take the time to visit and explore this site to find all the information you need.

The USS PATRIOT is the longest running ship in the active FRPG fleet, going back to 1995. She serves as one of six ships in active role-playing. These include the USS ANUBIS (CO: Michael Reed), USS PATRIOT (CO: Laura Tegner), GATEWAY OUTPOST (CO: Sarah Albertini-Bond), USS PROPHECY (CO: Ranjani Sabarinathan), USS SUTTNER (CO: Kenneth Field) and the USS DISCOVERY (CO: Jerome McKee). A seventh unit, ACT, is run by Steven Peterson (DACT) and is where all the future officers are trained.

The crew of the PATRIOT is consantly changing, growing, and expanding. But through it all the crew has remained true to the ideals of Duty, Honour and Loyalty. Our greatest adventures are yet to come.

PATRIOT is a state-of-the-art vessel representing the culmination of decades of Starfleet research and development.  The Nova-class MKII was designed primarily by Orwell Howell, the manager of the Nova MKII's development team. Constructed from the original Nova-class prototype (unfinished), she is the first to receive the Mark II refit. Although PATRIOT is classified as a destroyer, her configuration is versatile enough for a wide array of mission profiles.

The advanced warp field geometry of the Nova-class MK II design, allows PATRIOT to achieve a cruising speed of Warp 7 and a maximum sustainable speed of Warp 9.99999968. The ship is also equipped with transwarp drive. Transwarp drive propels a ship at speeds in excess of Warp 10, through the use of a subspace field generator. The ship passes through a subspace conduit and then attains speeds formerly unattainable in normal space. The transwarp cruising speed is Warp 12(Transwarp 3). The maximum sustainable transwarp speed is Warp 16.9975 (Transwarp 6.9975). PATRIOT has a maximum transwarp speed of Warp 16.999982 (Transwarp 6.999982).

The biohull, or bioregenerative hull matrix, has been improved over past versions and is incorporated into PATRIOT's design. The biohull system allows the ship's bio-neural network to literally heal any damage inflicted on the ship's exterior.

PATRIOT has an array of weapons to defend itself with. Twelve Type X phaser banks line the hull of the starship. Two quantum torpedo tubes are located fore and two aft, with the addition of twelve 'anti-fighter' plasma cannon turrets as well. The inclusion of a fighter bay, complete with four Arquebus sub-light fighters, gives her the decided advantage in most armed conflicts.
