12 August 97
SG1 had just gotten back from the Nox home world and were talking to the General in the control room when a grinding sound was heard coming from the gate as a blue box with a light on it slowly came into being, causing pandemonium in the SGC, it had a envelope taped to the door.
A couple of hours latter Captain Carter made her report.
"Sirs, the object that appears to be an old British police box has with stood our attempt to get a sample of the material it's made of, we didn't even scratch the paint. The envelope and the note in it were what the appeared to be, made from a high grade of paper found in England."
"What did the note say captain?"
"Here is a present for you, use it wisely and may it piss Senator Kinsey off. Signed Your Friend Forge. And the key with the note has some ever advanced circuitry in it."
"I guess its time we opened it up and find out what our present is sir?"
"Very well Colonel SG1 has a go."
SG1 stood in front of the door on the box as the security detail surrounded them and the box as Carter put the key in the door and turned it. All that happened was a click from the door and it swung in at Carters touch. They entered a room that was 10 feet long by 10 feet wide by 8 feet high with another set of doors across from the ones they had just come in from, with the star fleet logo in the frosted glass. Of course Colonel O'Neill had to make a comment.
"Why do in have a feeling that I'm in a Dr. Who episode?"
They walked into the next room, it was 50 feet by 50 feet by ten and there was a set of large picture windows in front of them and a bank of elevator door to their left. When they got up to the windows to see into the next room, it was large, 600 meters square, in it were four ships, they looked like the NX enterprise, only with the warp nacelles from the star trek movies and on the floor of the room in big red letters were the words WARNING ZERO GRAVITY AND VACCUM. Each ship was in its own dry dock.
Ship #1
USAF
NX01
USS ENTERPRISE
Ship #2
USAF
NX02
USS PROMETHEUS
Ship #3
USAF
NX03
USS DEFIANT
Ship #4
USAF
NX04
USS ARIZONA
The ships were 225 meters in length, 136 meters wide and 33 meters in height.
After admiring the view they called in the other scientists to start cataloging their present.
Two weeks later, after saving Dr Littlefield, another briefing from Carter. The General got things started "So Captain what can you tell us about what we have."
"Well sir as much as the Colonel would like us to have Star Trek based technology; we don't, the ships only look like they are from the show."
"Damn" Pouted the Colonel as Daniel snickered and Teal'c raised an eye brow.
Carter continued, "The ships technology is earth based. The power plant is a small Tokamak Fusion reactor about the size of the stargate set vertically in the engineering section of the ship. But instead of using magnetic fields, it uses Magnogravic fields which due the same job, but with one third the power and the fields allows it to convert the fusion energy directly to electricity, which means it puts out a hell of a lot of power. The same Magnogravic fields are used to generate artificial gravity field, inertia dampening fields and the main drive fields."
"Drive fields?"
"Yes sir, the nacelles are the field generators for the magnogravic bubble that is use to propel the ship and act as its main deflector shield, and no sir its not a faster than light drive or warp drive the top speed is around 95 percent the speed of light and the top acceleration is around 100,000Gs which is 0 to 95 percent light speed in 5 minutes."
Another raised eye brow from Teal'c as he comments "Indeed, the top speed of a Goa'uld ship is at best 60 percent light speed and the best acceleration is 5,000 Gs."
"How it works sir is, when the bubble is up, you move the bubble and anything in it is drug along with it and since it is an inertia less drive you don't feel the Gs and it's the drag that prevents it from being a Alcubierre or warp Drive, the closer to the speed of light the more power it takes to move the ship, also as I said before when the drive field is up it also acts as a deflector shield. The ships have back up power in the form of a dozen Uranium/Thorium nuclear batteries scatter around the ship and four enhanced ion engines, two at the ends of each boom. The ion engines have atop speed of 10 percent Light speed and a top acceleration of 15 Gs."
"That's kind of slow compared to the other drive isn't it?" asked Daniel.
"No it isn't, before the 12th the best engines for space travel that the earth had were ion engines that NASA was testing, they had the same top speed but at full power they may have gotten 1/10 of a G at best."
"What else Captain"
"Sorry Sir, for defense besides the drive field the ship hull is made of 6 inches of a alloy that is 10 times stronger than our strongest alloy and as hard as diamond, that's when it isn't energized, when energized it becomes 1000 times stronger and generates an energy field that extends a foot from the hull and acts like a deflector shield as well and the armor its self is ablative, giving the ships three layers of protection. The ship offensive weapons are four forward and one rear firing missiles tubes and six pulse plasma cannons three on top and three on the bottom. The missiles have bomb pumped x-ray laser war heads. The ships have the capability to stay out for as long as the fuel for the reactor lasts which is around ten years and they can do this because the ships have first generation replicators, which recycle the air and water and produces food in the kitchens and spare parts in the engineering section and two transport rings near the cargo holds."
"Is that all?"
"No sir, all of the computers on board are top of the line earth computers with the hard drives replace with a 3 dimensional, Holographic memory module and in another section of the box there was full functioning proto types for a fighter and cargo shuttles as well as four transport rings and the complete plans for everything."
"What about Faster than light capabilities?"
"Well Colonel, technically the ships don't have a FTL drive of any kind. The Goa'uld and from what we have found out from Teal'c, most of the races out there that have star ships use the same design. A hyperspace window generator that allows them to enter and exit the layer of subspace that they call hyperspace and a drive to propel them thru hyperspace."
"And our ships?"
"Our ship have what is call a vortex generator which allows a ship to enter and exit parallel Dimension where the distance from point A to point B are shorter that in our universe, on the order of one light year equals one Kilometer. In this hyperspace our ships can use its magnogravic sensors to navigate by the gravity shadows of the stars and its main drive to move from place to place, the ships top speed will be around 186000 times the speed of light. According to the information about this hyperspace it is a dimension of gravity and it has currents like a sea so if we were to map these currents we will have faster routes across the galaxy or maybe to other galaxies. Instead of taking six mouths to get from one side of the galaxy to the other, using gravity currents we could do it in hours and a trip to the nearest galaxy could be done in days, and subspace sensors will not be able to track us in this hyperspace."
O'Neill with a smile said "you know this means that we have the beginning of a fleet of our own, a Star Fleet."
EpilogueSix months latter when Apophis brings in two mother ships to carpet bomb Earth, thanks to Senator Kinsey it goes as it did the episodes Politics, Within the Serpent's Grasp and The Serpent's Lair, because of Kinsey the crews of the USAF NX class starships were put under house arrest and a security team made up of NID personnel prevented any body from entering the ships. After SG1 blew up the ships and brought back a couple of slightly singed death gliders, The President and the Secretary of State told Kinsey, basically to "shut up and color", that if he ever did this again he would be shoot on site for treason and the NID was put under the command of Lt. General Vidrine and Colonel Simmons was forced to retire.
