Deck 1.
The primary bridge is the main portion of deck one. A conference lounge, located behind the bridge, faces aft. The Captain’s Ready Room is located off of the bridge, through a side door. Science labs and Environmental support are located through a third set of doors, as well as a transporter room used in extreme cases (Transporter Room 5). The transporter room used for primary functions is located on Deck Five.

Deck 2.
This deck houses the upper warp nacelles for the upper saucer during MV mode. Primary life support controls are also housed here, as are supplementary environmental controls, junior officer quarters, secondary engineering labs, and four primary cargo bays.

Deck 3.
During warp core emergencies, deck three houses the jettison hatch for the saucer section of the vessel. This deck is also a supplementary fuel storage area for both deuterium and antimatter. During MVA mode, deck three is used primarily for the saucer section’s Engineering deck. The primary forward torpedo launcher is also located here, and can be used in both MV and standard modes.

Deck 4.
As the second deck to house junior officer quarters, deck four is quite lack in space. The Captain’s Yacht is located here, as well as the continuation of the forward torpedo launcher. Stellar Cartography is located on this deck, along with the upper computer core. Antimatter injectors and reactors are also located here, for use with both the primary warp core and the saucer warp core.

Deck 5.
Holding the primary transporter rooms, deck five is very important to the USS Agincourt. Senior Officer quarters are also located here, along with Holodeck Two. During emergency situations, Deck five houses the Battle Bridge. It is primarily used during MV mode, but can be used while the vessel is running normally. The Astrometrics lab is located here, located directly beside the primary sensor control room. Both SIF and IDF generators are located here, directly beside the science labs. Also on this deck are quantum weapon storage, and general hand-held weapon storage. Many support stations for Engineering are also located here.

Deck 6.
Deck six houses the warp nacelle for the lower saucer section during MV mode. The lower computer core is also housed here, along with the primary impulse reactors. Enlisted crewman quarters are also located here, along with the upper decks of the USS Agincourt’s shuttle bay.

Deck 7.
Deck seven is commonly referred to as the “Dignitary Deck,” which houses any VIP personnel who come aboard the USS Agincourt. Along with this, Main Sickbay and three medical labs are located on this deck. Deck seven is also home to Main Security, holding security offices, Brig, and Holodeck Four. Transporter rooms three, four, and six are located here, as is a security armory. Further fuel storage is located on this deck, as are cargo bays five through eight. The continuation of the vessel’s shuttle bay is located here. For security purposes, the aft torpedo launcher is also located on this deck. Primary warp core jettison control is located on this deck, near enlisted crewman quarters.

Deck 8.
The Auxiliary Bridge, which is for use during MV mode, is located here for tertiary hull control. Forward torpedo launchers are located here, primarily for MV mode. Transporter rooms five and seven are located here, as is Holodeck Four. This deck also holds further enlisted crewmen quarters, located opposite the corridor from further deuterium fuel storage and the warp core docking hatch.

Deck 9.
The entire length of deck nine is dedicated to enlisted crewman quarters. No critical system operations for the vessel are located on this deck.

Deck 10.
During MV mode, deck ten becomes the Main Engineering of the saucer section. Deck ten is primarily used in emergency or battle situations.

Deck 11.
Deck eleven is home to the majority of photon and quantum torpedo magazine. Also here are cargo bays nine through twelve, which are only to be used when absolutely necessary. This deck also houses the main deflector dish, and the deflector dish control. Navigational control is on this deck, as well as both a forward torpedo launcher and a rear torpedo launcher.

Deck 12.
Antimatter storage pods are located on this deck, as well as the primary antimatter fuel pumps and storage area. Phaser batteries are also located here.

Deck 13.
This deck houses the main facilities for the Marine Battalion, including a team ready room, briefing room, and variety of training facilities. The first officer's office is located next door to the team ready room. The main tractor beam controls are also located on this deck, as well as cargo bays thirteen and fourteen.

Deck 14.
During MVA mode, deck fourteen may be used as a battle shuttle bay. The ship is designed to retract shields around the three lowermost decks of the vessel, so damaged ships may return. These lower shields are automatically controlled by the inbound shuttlecraft, to reduce vessel exposure to outside influences. Decks below deck fourteen are automatically sealed off during General Quarters, in the event of losing the decks to enemy fire while shields are inactive in the area. Cargo bays fifteen and sixteen are also located here, and should not be used unless absolutely needed.

Deck 15.
This deck is home to emergency warp core jettison controls. These controls are in place for control under deck fourteen, during battle situations when the decks are sealed off.

Deck 16.
Deck sixteen contains storage and trash collection only. Starfleet regulations prohibits the use of deck sixteen aboard the USS Agincourt for storage unless absolutely necessary. Trash collection is vaporized from this location.

Medical Facilities

Main Sickbay is located on Deck 7, which is part of the secondary hull. Sickbay is an essential part of the vessel, which must be on the most protected and contained area of the vessel. In a battle, Sickbay personnel would be available to all crewmembers in the secondary hull. The bulk of the USS Agincourt crew will always be located aboard the secondary hull section of the vessel.

Main Sickbay itself contains twenty stationary biobeds, with another mobile units, which remain in storage unless needed. In extreme circumstances, up to 100 people may be placed throughout the vessel, through various other medical labs located throughout the three hulls.

Secondary medical stations are located throughout the vessel, including the primary and tertiary hulls, to be used during emergency and battle situations.

There is one secondary bridge and one battle bridge located aboard the USS Agincourt. The secondary bridge is offline at all times, unless the Command staff deems it necessary to move normal ship operations to the secondary bridge. The battle bridge is offline at all times, except in emergency or battle situations. All bridges are online to run each different hull during MV mode. The battle bridge is located on deck 5 and the auxiliary bridge is located on deck 8.

Background

At the close of the Dominion War, Star Fleet began to rethink their starship design, focusing more on power and strength rather than quickness, ability and diplomatic ability. The result was an experimental Prometheus class. Prometheus class vessels incorporated many of the features of its contemporaries, most notably, the Sovereign, Defiant and Intrepid classes that contributed ablative armor, quantum torpedoes, advanced hull geometry and warp field technology.

The USS Agincourt is the result of the Prometheus project, which was extended shortly after the trial run of the USS Prometheus. Ninth in production, Star Fleet has committed to producing one of these vessels every two years for forty years. The USS Agincourt is almost an exact replica of the USS Prometheus except for minor changes fueled by continuing advancements in starship technologies.

Features

The most notable feature about the USS Agincourt is its Multi-Vector (MV) attack mode. The Agincourt can separate in-flight into three parts, with all three parts containing the same defensive capabilities and the same maximized offensive capabilities as it is when in docked mode. Furthermore, the Agincourt can return to docked mode in-flight. The secondary and tertiary hulls are both commanded from a battle bridge and all three sections have impulse and warp capabilities.

The MV mode gives an unprecedented advantage to the Agincourt. One section can be used to draw the fire of an opposing vessel while the other two can retaliate using complex attack patterns. Furthermore, the MV mode also allows for an avenue of deception or even escape should exigent circumstances require such a tactic. The possibilities are endless.

The USS Agincourt has an advanced EMH program that can travel virtually anywhere on the ship due holo-emitters being present on all decks. These emitters, however, are normally disabled unless the EMH is activated.

Finally, the USS Agincourt contains a crew of Star Fleet commissioned officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the Star Fleet Marine Corps (SFMC). Beginning in 2385, a SFMC battalion was placed on every existing Star Fleet battleship as well as any new battleship produced from 2385 forward. This move is a reflection of Star Fleet’s commitment to deterrence as its military philosophy.
