The Mawasi cruiser was a 24th century Mawasi starship class, a cruiser in service to the Mawasi civilization by the 2370s decade. (VOY episode: "Year of Hell, Part II")

Specifications[]

Void ship Mawasi

Firing energy weapons.

Physically, the hull was split into several segments. A neck section connected the saucer section with the raised engineering hull. Nacelle pylons, adorned with the Mawasi emblem, held tubular warp nacelles on either side of the ship. That connection was reinforced by another pair of pylons besides the primary upper pylons. The ventral hull was attached to lower pylons, thus forming a negative space within the hull.

The bussard collectors shone purple or blue. Light blue was the color of the impulse engines, built into the lower and rear pylon pairs. (Fact Files Issue 115: "File 40 - Card 53")

The overall structure of a grey-armored, bulky vessel with a negative space, thick twin nacelles and a several deck-high command section at the fore, resembled the Zahl cruiser in service around the same time. (VOY episode: "The Void")

The Mawasi cruiser was a large ship, matching or dwarfing significant starships like the Federation Intrepid-class science vessel and the Nihydron destroyer. In the 2370s decade, the Mawasi cruiser was armed with energy weapons that fired blue bolts. (VOY episode: "Year of Hell, Part II")

A ship of the class stranded in the Void anomaly fired a blue beam from an area between the upper central hull and the primary upper pylons. (VOY episode: "The Void")

Service history[]

Ships of the class were active in the 2370s decade. (VOY episode: "Year of Hell, Part II")

A Mawasi cruiser.

In the year 2376, a Mawasi cruiser's warp nacelle was among the debris and derelicts at Abaddon's Repository of Lost Treasures junkyard. Abaddon acquired it sometime between 2356 and 2376. (VOY episode: "Alice")

In 2377, a ship of this class attended the first Antarian Trans-stellar Rally as a spectator. This cruiser was parked besides and across other spectator ships positioned on either side of the star/finish line of the race. The starting line was placed directly in front of the Mawasi cruiser. (VOY episode: "Drive")

At least one ship of this type became stranded in the Void anomaly. It attacked Lorquar's Hierarchy survey vessel after its arrival in the anomaly. The Federation ship USS Voyager defended the Overlookers against the Mawasi cruiser and the Annari General Valen. The arrival of Garon's ship, throwing its support behind Voyager and Captain Kathryn Janeway's proposed alliance, forced Valen and the cruiser into retreat. With Janeway's alliance established, the Mawasi cruiser joined soon after.

Battle in the Void.

After Janeway expelled Commander Bosaal for an unsanctioned raid on a Kinjal frigate, the cruiser became part of a counter-alliance between Bosaal and Valen. Designated by Voyager as the smaller vessel in Valen's fleet, the cruiser attacked the remaining four alliance ships during their escape attempt from the Void. The cruiser fired its beams at Voyager before Janeway's coalition entered a funnel and successfully exited the Void, leaving Bosaal, Valen and their ships behind. (VOY episode: "The Void")

The Krenim Coalition formed in 2410, and included the Mawasi as founding members. The Coalition shared technology and Krenim personnel with the Khitomer Alliance during the Iconian War. However, Mawasi starships were not part of the exchange. (STO website: Iconian War : Year of Hell Lock Box Stats)

Alternate timeline[]

Mawasicruiser

Tuvok's cruiser.

In an alternate timeline were the Krenim temporal scientist Annorax built the Krenim temporal weapon ship Kyana Prime and launched it in the 22nd century, a pair of Mawasi cruisers were part of the anti-Krenim alliance led by the Federation starship USS Voyager. On 29 November 2374, the alliance fleet confronted the Kyana Prime. Tuvok's cruiser, its sister ship and the rest of the small fleet had been equipped with temporal shielding, rendering them immune to chroniton torpedos and the weapon ship's time weapon.

One of the cruisers was hit by the Kyana Prime's weapon fire and crashed into Voyager's saucer section, causing damage on both ships. The disillusioned Krenim officer Obrist beamed hostages from Voyager back, and Tuvok reported their save return to Captain Kathryn Janeway. Tuvok and the rest of the fleet complied with Janeway's order to turn the temporal shields off. That timeline was reset when Voyager crashed into the Kyana Prime, causing the temporal weapon ship to erase itself and undo its temporal incursions. (VOY episode: "Year of Hell, Part II")
