USS Daedalus (NCC-86607)
Development: The USS Daedalus entered service in 2367 and was the first ship of the class and of the series. It was going to be a heavy bomber project, but an away team from the USS Challenger found 2,000 year old scematics on a desert planet. This ship was highly advanced, unlike anything they had ever seen before. It was built with a tritanium alloy hull with ablative hull armor laced in. It had 4 phaser cannons, 2 front, 2 aft, 2 torpedo tubes, and 3 disruptor cannons. It also had expirimental Utopia Planetia Fleet Yards G-3000 TimeWave engines, which allowed it to go backward and foreward through time at will.

Campaigns: After it was built, the Daedalus underwent trial runs for three years, and it was another two years before it was comissioned, due to an uncompleted section of the hull. After it was comissioned, in the Dominion War, the Daedalus led a fleet against several Dominion controled planets. It also assisted in retaking DS9 over Bajor. It participated in the defense of Earth in the final battle of the war, and was almost overrun by Dominion forces when Admiral Brennan had the crew beam out onto Earth, while he set the self destruct, barely managing to transport out in time. The ship exploded in orbit of earth, the force of it taking most of of the Dominion's fleet with it, and knocking it out of orbit as well.

USS Daedalus (NCC-86607-A)
After the first Daedalus was destroyed, Starfleet decided to make another craft even more heavily armed and armored.

General statistics: This Daedalus was armed with 4 phaser cannons, 2 front, 2 aft, 4 rapid-fire torpedo launchers, 3 disruptor cannons, and was refitted with 2 very powerful plasma cannons in its late days of service. It also had G-3000 TimeWave engines, Temporal sheilding, Multiphasic shelding, and emergency blast doors for the hangar bays. The tritanium and ablative armor was upgraded, making it able to withstand more punishment. It also had upgraded Warp nacelles, giving it a maximum cruise speed of Warp 16, thanks to the Time Warp dampeners.

Service and destruction: In its early days of service, the second Daedalus was an exploration vessel, although it was comissioned as a battleship. It participated in the defence of earth as it was attacked by the Borg in 2389. In the ensuing war with the Borg, the Daedalus formed a fleet designated Battle Group Epsilon. This fleet was responsible for the destruction of many Borg ships, including the eventual destruction of the borg queen's diamond. At the end of the war, when the queen's diamond was destroyed, Battle Group Epsilon and several other fleets held the line at the Epsilon Theta star system against a very large borg fleet, resulting in many Starfleet ang borg casualties including the Daedalus. While the Daedalus wasn't acually destroyed, it was so damaged that it was unsalvageable. The crew abandoned ship in escape pods, shuttles, and fighters, whichever was closest, and led the fleet back to earth after the battle.

EMP Torpedo
The EMP torpedo was first used by the USS Defiant to disable a Cardassian weapons platform, and next by the USS Enterprise-E to disable an Orion convoy.

Variants: There are two variants of the EMP torpedo, the first being an EMP torpedo fused to a srandard photon torpedo, thus giving it destructive qualities. The second variant is simply an EMP torpedo's warhead attached to a quantum torpedo's warhead and both of them being placed in a photon topedo casing, further increasing its destructive qualities.
