USS Newton (Nebula class)

The USS Newton was a Nebula-class Federation starship in service during the 24th century.

In addition to the Nebula’s phaser banks and torpedos, it can be outfitted with four special weapons researched at the Federation Science Station.


 * Shield Disruptor: This weapon was based on technology adapted from the Breen Energy dampening weapon. It disables the shields of a group of enemy ships for a short time, allowing weapons to damage the hull and systems directly.


 * Gemini Effect: The Gemini Effect was created as a result of Dr. Paul Manheim’s temporal research in 2364. The effect creates a temporal disturbance in the space-time continuum, allowing two of the same ship to exist simultaneously in different locations.


 * Point Defense Phaser: The initial concept for this weapon goes back as far as the 20th century, with the Strategic Defense Initiative. Perfected in 2374, the PDP destroys incoming torpedoes before they can do any damage.

(TNG game: Star Trek: Armada II).
 * Engineering Team: Each Nebula-class can be assigned teams of Starfleet engineers. These miracle workers can be transported onto other allied ships, temporarily increasing their repair rate and shield recharge rate.
