The U.S.S. Black Elk NCC-62505 is an Akira class starship and was Captain Michael Fords first command during the Dominion War.

U.S.S. Black Elk History:

During the early outbreak of the Dominion War the U.S.S. Black Elk was hit by a Breen cluster mine that severely damaged the bridge dome killing the Captain, First Officer and the entire bridge crew. Commander Michael Ford a MACO Squad Leader, along with his second Lieutenant Commander D`Jetta Cam-Ra and the rest of his squad immediately took command from the Battle Bridge and brought the crippled ship back to port for immediate repair and was sent back to the front lines.
For his bravery and quick thinking Michael was not only awarded the Christopher Pike Award but had a field promotion to Captain and the Black Elk was his command for the remainder of the conflict. Four years later when the War ended in 2375, Michael was officially promoted to Captain and was given command of the Galaxy/Venture SubClass U.S.S. Constellation NCC-1017-A.

The Black Elk now has new life under the command of Commodore Steven Mc.Clean a former Drill Instructor in Starfleet Academy.


Akira Class History:

Plannings for the Akira Class were drawn in 2360 after the Federation signed a non aggression pact with the Cardasians ending a conflict that almost went to war. However in 2367, a Borg Cube from System J-25 in the Delta Quadrant invaded the Alpha Quadrant and assimilated Captain Jean Luc Picard of The U.S.S. Enterprise-D and became Loqutus. 39 starships led by Admiral Hanson tried to stop the Cube from entering Sector 001 at Wolf 359 but it turned into a massacre as all 39 ships were destroyed. The Cube reached Earth but thanks to Lieutenant Commander Data the cube powered down and self destructed.

In 2368 Starfleet needed to rebuild in response to the threat of the Borg. The Akira, built in New Aberdeen shipyards in Aldeberan is one of four starship classes specifically designed solely for combat. The other classes being the Defiant class, Saber class and Steamrunner class also built in late 2368 and the Prometheus class later in 2379.

While only armed with five phaser arrays, a unique feature of the Akira is that its heavilly armed with a total of 19 torpedo tubes, the most of any other class of starship.
In between the warp engines, is a torpedo pod with 13 torpedo tubes 7 forward 6 aft. On the upper dorsal section of the saucer, are 4 movable torpedo tubes positioned on the Starboard and port sides that can move at a 45 degree angle and 2 forward tubes located on the ventral section of the saucer. The Akira carries the most number of torpedoes with 375 rounds per ship.

Another unique feature of the Akira class is its enormous hangar deck. The largest of any starship including the Galaxy class. The Hangar Deck runs from the bow to the stern in the mid section of the saucer. It carries the most auxillary craft including one and two man fighters. The Akira is also a multi purpose starship as it can be a rescue ship a cargo vessel or more commonly used as a light carrier during the Dominion War with ships like the U.S.S. Thunderchild NCC-63549 and the U.S.S. Black Elk NCC-62505.
In 2371, another Borg cube invaded Sector 001 and several Akiras along with the Enterprise-E successfully defended Earth.

There is a debate in Starfleet as to what to officially classify the Akira. She is designated a heavy cruiser, however, with its maximum load of 40 fighter craft it can also be classified as a light carrier.

In 2380 the Akira underwent a modernization of her phaser arrays which have been upgraded to Type XII. The warp core has been upgraded along with a new High resolution structural integrity grid and regenerative metaphasic shielding.

The warp nacelles pylons and torpedo tower were significantly redesigned and upgraded to support the Quantum Slipstrem Drive that is now being used in all starships. However due to the Akiras wide hull and saucer design configuration it required too much energy to create a suitable transfer tube for the slipstream yet it can be used in short bursts or sprints.
