Medici

Ship Name: Medici

Ship Type: Converted Merchantman - Q-ship

Details: Medici is a 4-million ton freighter that was taken into Starfleet service after being impounded and underwent a refit that gave her a new identity and new signatures, as well as being fitted for pirate-hunting. However, being a conversion job she is unarmoured, still slow and ponderous, and while her weapons fit is quite respectable is it still nowhere near that of a proper starship of even a third her mass.

Her interior is cramped by Starfleet standards, with the essential spaces for engineering, bridge and crew accommodations being reduced to the barest minimum in volume and mass as to be able to maximize the space available in her cargo bays.

The Medici was debuted in The Medici and further modified to withstand the Arbrell Ellipse for Return to the Ellipse.
