RWI Thunderchild - Science Escort

Akira - Class Science Escort, R.W.I Thundchild!

Hi
What started out as me trying to build a Star Trek Federation vessel for a server ended up in this little project. Presenting the R.W.I Thunderchild – Akira Class Escort.

This is a kitbash with further development upon Captain Jack’s RWI Discovery Science Cruiser. Lots of elements are from that ship with it also being used a style reference to help construct this. Credit obviously must go to Captain Jack and Venom415 for the original concept. Linked below.

I had a great time playing with this design and turning it into an Akira Class. The ship has retained the style of the Discovery with some of the internal rooms from the original remaining such as the Main Engine room. However due to the new shape of the ship many areas have been tweaked, re-aligned and some new rooms such as the Messhall added. The idea was that ship would fit in perfectly next to the Discovery as a sister in that fleet.

She has less internal volume than Discovery so comes out slightly smaller. You also dont need all the DLC's for this to work. However that means a few rooms/walkways etc may not exist.

If a new version of the Discovery is released, if anything has drastically changed ill update this to match. It is not survival ready, however im sure you will have fun destroying it in Creative or pitting it against the Discovery.

-- Lore -- Ive put something together as to where id like to think it could sit in the RWI universe.

After the successful launch of the RWI Discovery" and her sister ship RWI Challenger, Red Wood Industries were looking to dispatch further vessels to bolster its fledgling Science Division. Whilst the Venture Class were Red Wood’s flagship science vessels these were expensive and timely to produce; another class was needed that would be more cost effective and quicker to produce. The Akira Class was born.

Launched in 2736 the Akira Class uses many of the components and systems from the Venture Class. That being said, the class is indeed smaller and has less range and scientific facilities than its predecessor. With the rise in tensions within the Galaxy Red Wood increased the defensive systems of this class, but their primary role is clear to continue explore space and to peacefully carry Red Wood’s flag. Akira Class vessels can be found closer to Red Wood core worlds as well as supporting Venture Class Vessels on scientific missions in dangerous or far reaching areas.
