Weapons & Defensive Systems
| Shields | Type: Symmetrical subspace graviton field similar to those employed on starships; under Starfleet Directives , the station's shields incorporate the nutation shift in frequency. During combat, the shield will send data on what type of weapon is being used against it as well as the frequency and phase the weapon uses. Once analyzed, the shield can be configured to have the same frequency as the incoming weapon - but different nutation. This tactic dramatically increases shield efficiency. Output: There are a total of forty-eighty shield generators on the Buckingham Class. Each generator has a cluster of twelve thirty-two megawatt graviton polarity sources feeding a pair of six hundred twenty five millicochrane subspace field distortion amplifiers. During emergency situations the generators are synchronized together providing two thousand six hundred eighty-eight megawatts continuously. The maximum peak load is four hundred seventy-three thousand megawatts for one hundred seventy milliseconds. Range: The shields, when raised, operate at two distances. One is a uniform distance from the hull, averaging about ten to twelve meters. The other is an elliptical bubble field, which varies in distance from any single point on the hull but has a common center within the station. Primary purpose: Defense from enemy threat forces, hazardous radiation and micrometeoroid particles. |

| Weapon Systems | Phasers Primary Hull: Twenty-four Type-11 Main Phaser Turrets spread out in three rows of eight. Sixteen Type-8 Point Defense Phaser Turrets. Ventral Hull: Four Type-11 Main Phaser Turrets placed at ninety degree in travels. Eight Type-9 Point Defense Phaser Turrets. Modules: Most modules come equipped with a variety of phaser types on their dorsal and ventral surfaces, but there aren't more than six turrets on each module. All these turrets are for point defense, and so far no modules have been manufactured with anything stronger than Type-9. Some modules have no phasers at all; these are usually placed near the center, instead of further out. Phaser Output: Each phaser array takes its energy directly from the Power Core and auxiliary fusion generators. Each type of phaser denotes a different maximum power level. The Type-8 phasers achieve an output of about 4.1 megawatts, Type-9 achieves 4.5 megawatts, and the Type-11 achieves an amazing 6.1 megawatts. Phaser Array Range: Maximum effective range is 300,000 kilometers. Torpedo Launchers Arrangement: There are only six torpedo launchers designed into the Buckingham Class station. The first four are placed in between the docking bay doors. They service threat vessels coming from all axes but negative z, which is blocked by the modules. The remaining two launchers are in the ventral hull at ninety-degree angles from the docking latches for the modules. These launchers have a more limited firing arc because the modules block them. As a station, the Buckingham class has the materials in storage and the equipment on board to manufacture more torpedo casings than it currently carries in ready stock. Range: Maximum effective range is 3,000,000 kilometers. |

| Armament | > 28 Type-XI Phaser Turrets, 8 Type-IX Turrets, 16 Type-VIII Phaser Turrets, and module phasers > Six Torpedo Launchers capable of firing any Starfleet Torpedo ordnance Type: Mark XXV photon torpedo, capable of pattern firing (sierra, etc.) as well as independent launch. Independent targeting once launched from the station, detonation on contact unless otherwise directed. Payload: Buckingham Class stations store an average of 500-photon torpedo packages dedicated for station use outside of emergencies [in emergencies part of the station's torpedo compliment can be siphoned to allied vessels]. Only a few stations carry a supply of quantum torpedoes, those nearest hostile territory come first. More torpedo packages are stored for resupply purposes. |
