Boasting six Type X Phaser Arrays & 15 Photon Torpedo Tubes, it can project an impressive amount of force The Akira began development in 2350 under the aegis of the Perimeter Defense Directive. The PDD saw a need for a cruiser with heavier armaments than existing Starfleet vessels, & began designing ships to fill that gap. Events durring the Akira's development process, such as the Cardassian War, Tzenkethi War, & the renewed contact with the Romulans only reienforced the need for the Akira & other PDD ships in the minds of Starfleet Command. The Akira entered service in 2368. In addition to its role as a defensive & threat-responce vessel, at which it excels, it acts as a carrier for Starfleet Attack Fighters, & other small vessels. The central axis of its saucer section includes two enormous shuttlebays connected by an extensive repair & maintance area. The carried ships depart the Akira through three shuttlebay doors on the forward side of the saucer, & return to roost through the two smaller shuttlebay doors on the aft side of the saucer. Physically, the Akira is one of Starfleet's most unusual designs. While it has the typical forward saucher (one nearly as wide as the saucer on a Sovereign-Class vessel), its Engineering hull consits of two large "spars", connected at their aft ends by two upward-slanted nacelle pylons. Where the spars attach to the the saucer, they create a "valley", in which the ship's bridge is located. This provides the bridge with an extra degree of protection against most attacks. When detached from the saucer section, the Engineering Hull resembles a giagantic letter pi with two warp nacelles. Where the two pylons meet between the spars, there's a large "control tower" which oversees the return of fighters (and protects them with torpedo launchers). The control tower contains the ship's Warp Core & Battle Bridge.
