Class History: The Galaxy III project was actually one of the proposed designed for the initial Galaxy-Class refit, the Galaxy II. Rejected at the time, Dr. Jeremiah's Quick's three-nacelled variant became the operating model.
However, after in the nearly three years since the Galaxy herself was refitted to those specifications, it has become clear that the Quick design was not without it's flaws. Most notably, the massive power consumption required by the Phaser cannon, the warp field inefficiencies caused by the third nacelle, and of course, the "Quick Virus", the Engineering slang for the number of minor technical malfunctions outside the range of normal operating parameters.
Commanders Dickson, Boardman, and Weber of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers, in conjunction with Captain Montgomery Scott, Master Chief Miles O'Brien, Commander Geordi LaForge and Dr. Leah Brahms continued their work on this proposed design even while the Galaxy II was still in refits.
When the Galaxy suffered significant battle damage, the three SCE commanders were successfully able to lobby to refit the premiere Galaxy-Class vessel to this new design, in the wake of the perceived failure of the previous refit.
The process was pushed through at an accelerated pace, alongside the refitting of the Starship Miranda to a Pathfinder II in record time, with both vessels being completely refitted in only three months. Captain Scott, and Commanders Dickson, Boardman and Weber oversaw both projects, bringing massive numbers of SCE personnel to Starbase 212 to complete the work.
There are numerous changes in this version of the Galaxy-Class starship than it's predecessors. The SCE took advantage of the Galaxy's massive damage to create an almost new ship. Indeed, the saucer section was scrapped entirely, and replaced with the salvaged saucer section from the Enterprise-D, retrieved from Viridian III. The existing space frame was a large advantage, however.
The ships computer and data network systems were among the first things upgraded, switching the primary focus from isolinear chips to the more powerful bioneural gelpacks, prototyped in the Intrepid and Sovereign classes, allowing a forty six percent increase in computer processing power and efficiency.
Warp and impulse drive systems received the next overhaul, with the third nacelle's complete removal (made simpler by the fact that it, and it's mounting, had been sheared off in combat) The original nacelles were completely replaced with newer, more efficient ones, while the Stardrive impulse engine was retooled, and much larger impulse engines were added to the saucer to increase the ship's sublight maneuverability. Two small nacelles, capable of propelling the saucer section at Warp Five, were added to the primary hull, as Starfleet has since discovered that a saucer without warp drive is essentially a very large lifeboat.
Shuttlebay Four, located in the lower part of the Stardrive, was reduced in size, returning some of the parts storage areas to Engineering. This was made possible with the addition of a new, fifth Shuttlebay, designated the "Starfighter Bay'. Full training and support facilities for up two Starfighter squadrons were installed, as well as space in the saucer section converted to be suitable for a Marine detachment. The "Marine Country" was converted from the section of the ship previously known as the Promenade, which had contained civilian businesses.
Weapons systems recived the next upgrade, first among which was the phaser cannon. It's power relays were completely replaced, allowing it to be not as much of a drain on power as it was in the previous design. The new, upgraded warp core has also helped with that particular issue. Two additional torpedoe tubes, in the fore and aft of the saucer section were added, as well as three pulse phaser arrays (Also known as Defiant-Type, two fore, one aft). The standard phaser arrays were also upgraded to Venture/Sovereign specifications.
Sensor capacity was increased over thirty percent with the installation of a new primary sensor array in the saucer section, and the Stellar Cartography and Astrometrics labs recieved complete overhauls.
Escape pod systems were upgraded to allow for quicker launch, as well as a larger crew compliment. The hull received numerous changes as well, with the addition of ablative armor to the ship's defenses.
The Galaxy Class III prototype was completed aboard the USS Galaxy in October of 2381, and the ship launched for it's first mission. Initial trials seem to have gone well, and two additional starships, the USS James T. Kirk and the USS Victor Murdock are now nearing completion, with a schedule to be launched at the end of the year.
