Allied Cooperative Starship Development Board (ACSDB) was a 25th century intergovernmental organization in the Milky Way Galaxy. Its presiding officer was Vice Admiral S. J. Hemphill of Starfleet. (STO website: Rise of Discovery: The Allied Cooperative Starship Development Board)
History[]
The ACSDB was formed in the year 2410 to focus the existing starship design cooperation between the Federation, Klingon Empire and Romulan Republic following the formation of the Alpha Quadrant Alliance.
It was formed from Starfleet's Advanced Starship Design Bureau, the Klingon Defense Force's Warship Advancement Council (WAC), and the Romulan Republic Navy.
The first successful project was the joint launch of new support cruiser classes - the Narendra-class support cruiser USS Narendra for Starfleet and the Vor'ral-class support battlecruiser IKS Vor'ral for the KDF. (STO website: Rise of Discovery: The Allied Cooperative Starship Development Board)
Following the accession of the Dominion to the Alliance, the ACSDB embarked on its first four-way starship development with support of the Jem'Hadar Vanguard Fleet. The result were four types of temporal warships. (STO website: Season 18: Awakening: The Khitomer Alliance Launches New Joint Service)
In late 2410, the first unified Khitomer Alliance battlecruiser was launched, and it was assigned to the Allied Fleet Service. The Khitomer-class AFS Khitomer (CSN-01) was a blend between Starfleet starship and Klingon battlecruiser. (STO website: Season 18: Awakening: Command the First Federation/Klingon Ship!)
The second blended design combined Klingon and Romulan escorts into one fast, powerful raider, the Temer-class Alliance raider. (STO website: House Shattered: 11th Anniversary Event!)
