Editing NX Class (section)

==Technical Data==

===Physical arrangement===

The NX Class consisted of a habitable saucer module that contained seven decks (lettered A through G) and a symmetrical warp field governor located just aft of the saucer section, that regulated the warp field shape that would otherwise break apart at higher warp factors. Two half-decks were inserted between D and E deck, as well as between E and F deck. These contained plasma conduits and access tunnels.
===Propulsion systems===

NX Class ships achieved warp flight through two warp nacelles, which housed multiple pairs of warp coils. Maximum speed was warp 5.06, the NX Class being the first Earth vessel to achieve that speed. Standard cruising speed was warp 4.5. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Babel One") There were two fairing impulse engines, mounted on the aft of the pylons leading to the warp nacelles.

===Tactical systems===


Initially, the NX Class was fitted with pulse plasma cannons, spatial torpedoes and phase cannons. Later, the NX Class weapons were upgraded with photonic torpedoes and pulsed phase cannons.

The defensive systems of the NX Class were not as advanced as other races. Instead of deflector shields and tractor beams the NX Class was equipped with polarized hull plating and grapplers.

The NX Class had a navigational deflector mounted on the front of the saucer module. The deflector is essential for space flight, as it deflects space debris, asteroids, microscopic particles and other objects that might collide with the ship.

===Shuttlecraft systems===


Located mainly on E Deck was the launch bay. The pressurized sector of the bay - limited to E deck - contained the launch bay control room, while the launch bay itself on F deck was where the two shuttlepods were docked. A magnetic docking arm extended from the launch bay's ceiling to lower or raise a shuttlepod upon arrival or departure of the craft. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Fight or Flight")
