USS Firebrand NCC-38501 (Docked)
Captains Ready Room
2050hrs
Having met the senior staff at 89Aft, Locker decided to settle in the Captains Ready Room. It was pretty much identical to all the other Sovereigns. He unpacked all his personal luxuries including a model of the Firebrand and his previous Excelsior Class ship. He chuckeld as he placed the two models beside each other and thought in his mind, "I still can't pronounced that damn name!"
The Firebrand's refit was slowly coming to completion and he knew it was only a matter of time before this mighty vessel saw the stars once again. Having looked through the history of the ship, Locker finally understood why the registration number was such an "early" number. Like the Enterprise and some other well known ships, the Firebrand was one of the handful of ships that carried a traditional registration. Just like the Enterprise, the Firebrand name had been used in the NX class, Constitution, Excelsior, Ambassador and Galaxy. This of course explained why those golden ship models were in the bridges conference room. The last ship to bare the name was a Galaxy class ship that was lost at Worf 359 during the first Borg attack. There were reports from the USS Voyager that they had encounted Borg drones from the Galaxy class ship.
Locker looked out the window into the Starbase and noticed a few ships docked. Many were remenents from the previous fleet Malloway had commanded of which Locker originated from as well. Close by was the Majesty. Locker remembered the massive battle where he was the XO of the Majesty. Between him and the CO, the Majesty had nearly been destroyed.
Locker placed his one hand on his old injury where he had been shot during that invasion. He still couldn't believe Starfleet Command had forgotten that but he smiled as he remembered he had at least been given command of a Sovereign.
Once Locker had finished unpacking, he walked up to the replicator.
"Tea, Earl Grey, cold." He spoke clearly.
The replicator buzzed as a mug of tea appeared.
Locker took the tea and sipped slowly as he walked back to his desk and picked up the tactical PADD. The torpedo launcher layout was exactly as he requested, allowing for all the torpedo types to be ready for use. Usually only one torpedo type was used for the stardard launchers but Locker had requested that each launcher was specifically assigned to a torpedo type. The layout was as follows:
1F & 2F: Tri-cobalt *1 per torpedo tube
3F: Standard Photon * two per torpedo tube
4F (Swivel Mounted Rapid Fire): Quantum *4-6 per torpedo tube
5F, 6F, 1A, 2A: Tactical Photon *3 per torpedo tube
Locker was happy. This layout would definately be a tactical advantage.
