Starship Overview


USS Galileo-A is a Nova-class Mark II vessel, a Federation science and scout starship in service during the late 24th century first entering service in 2391 and currently in its initial production phase. The class is designed for short-range and limited-duration research missions such as nebula, planetary, and system surveys. The Mark II is also tasked with executing extensive in-depth research and analysis on a chosen region after a larger explorer vessel has made the initial discovery. The Mark II is the successor to the Nova-class Mark I, now referred to as the 'legacy' Nova, and incorporates the latest Starfleet technological advances to further its scientific mission capability.


Notable improvements in the Mark II design compared to the legacy Nova-class include a streamlined internal configuration allowing for a reduced crew compliment; an improved matter/anti-matter warp core and fusion drive; and bio-neural gel pack integration necessary to support an improved computer core assembly.

Biography[]

In 1609, Galileo was in Venice to show the Doge his telescope when he encountered the First Doctor, Steven Taylor and Vicki Pallister, who had come to Venice responding to a mysterious invitation. Since the Doctor required Galileo's assistance at the same time he was scheduled to demonstrate the invention, Steven had to impersonate Galileo by means of a holographic disguise. The Doctor also helped Galileo improve his telescope design. Galileo's memory of this encounter was wiped by Irving Braxiatel using an amnesia pill. (PROSE: The Empire of Glass)

On 7 January1610, Galileo wrote in a letter that he had spotted three of Jupiter's moons. A few months later, he discovered a fourth. The final moon, the golden planet of Voga, would not be discovered by humans until the 29th century. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary)

The Doctor warned Galileo that he should remain quiet about some of his ideas that would be seen as heretical. For his belief

Overview


The Nova-class of the Mirror Universe was born of the need for warships – pure, unadulterated battlecruisers that could engage enemy forces even when vastly outnumbered, and still come out on top. With access to the Federation database from the Primary Universe, Terran Empire engineers came across the design schematics for the Nova-class exploration frigate and the design history associated with that frame. Further back in the development lifecycle, the Nova-class was the first iteration of what would eventually become the Defiant-class – and the potential for destruction was obvious to the Empire’s finest minds.

Scaling up the design to almost three times its original size and outfitting it with as many weapon arrays as the power core could handle, the final design gave the Empire the new warship it had been waiting for. The first of its class, named for the legendary interrogator and investigator Galileo Galilei from Earth’s past, has been selected by General Jonathan Holliday to serve as his official flag
