UNISEX BOOB WINDOW

Design Proposal 692154e

Suggested Concept:

Unisex Boob Window

Status:

Discussed at committee meeting on Stardate 57601.8, tentatively approved for prototyping and limited field testing.

Additional Notes:

Design Committee felt there was sufficient reason to believe such a uniform variant could be useful on diplomatic events occurring on planets such as Risa or Angel One. At this time field trials of these service and dress uniform prototypes to be limited to California Class vessels.

transcript and bonus background-only images below the cut:

Transcription:

Page 1:

Exterior shot of the Cerritos, as if from the perspective of a spacewalker towards the back of one of its warp nacelles, looking up at the saucer section. Its two main impulse engines are visible and glowing red, but the one on the right (starboard) is dark in the middle third of its length. A ringed gas giant is visible in front of the Cerritos, quite far away, with both a regular multi-gapped debris disk and a larger, ghostly rainbow ring farther out. This gas giant has previously been visible out the window from the mess hall in previous scenes, albeit from a different angle. The gas giant and the Cerritos are lit from two directions, from the right by a golden light source and from the left by a white light source.

Guz: And that's when I ran to the tubes, and got lost.

Rutherford: Is Tendi okay!?

Guz: The photonic pulse charges weren't radioactive, if that's what you mean.

Page 2:

Close up exterior shot of the Cerritos, zoomed in on its impulse engines. We can see tiny Guz and Rutherford through windows on the dark terraced section of the Cerritos impulse engines, and we can see a row of six dark impulse engine nozzles and a row of six bright glowing impulse engine nozzles. Towards the right is a red dwarf star, shining like a bright golden-orange sun, with a few planets visible near it.

Guz: I really gunked up with her, didn't I?

Rutherford: I doubt it. The rocket launch was an accident, and she's usually pretty patient with outbursts and meltdowns... I mean, you know--Probably! Because she's a medic.

Page 3:

Seen from inside a Jeffries Tube with a full-wall-length pair of windows (the same we saw from the outside on the last page.). We're looking out on the Cerritos' engineering hull and warp nacelles, with the impulse engines to the right. A pair of dim white suns can be seen out the window as well. Inside the Jeffries Tube, Rutherford is looking out the window and Guz is looking at Rutherford with a serious expression. The light from the gold sun, white sun, and red sun shine over Guz's shiny surface on her head and hair.

Rutherford: Look at that! One of the six impulse clusters is dead!

Guz: Then it's worse than I thought. Come on. We're almost there.

End transcript.

I mentioned in my previous post that I think California-class starships are new builds cobbled together from old parts and I want to elaborate on that more.

Visually, the Cali class appears contemporaneous with the Galaxy, Nebula, and New Orleans, based on the shape of its deflectors and portholes and the finish of its outer hull. Its round saucer is a bit anachronistic but appears similar in size to the saucer of the even older Ambassador class ships.

Compare that to "more recent" builds like the Sovereign, Intrepid, Prometheus, and even Texas class, the Cali definitely just looks older. My best guess is the underlying spaceframe is the saucer of an Ambassador, given a pair of reasonably new nacelles, and garnished with a deflector assembly from the New Orleans with a new housing.

Now, the Cali could have been built before the war, but it would be strange that it was passed over for fleet actions in favor of older designs like the Miranda; group of ships which appear to take heavy losses. The Cali may be Starfleet's replacement. But why old parts? The Federation is post-scarcity, right? Can't they just replicate up some new ships? Well... yes and no. There's a few things that may be at play here.

We know deuterium is a limiting factor. Voyager talks about this frequently and the first sacrifice they make to conserve power is rationing replicator access. Replicators, to do what they do, really must be huge power hogs and scaling that up to make a fleet of starships means their power requirements must be astronomical (heh heh). The good news is deuterium is incredibly abundant. The bad news is they're limited in collection and distribution (which we see in a recent SNW episode with the deuterium collector!)

Material losses from the war. Things like deuterium harvesters and industrial replicators need to be replaced, and infrastructure rebuilt, which takes time. And that kind of infrastructure-building is arguably what the Cali-class is for.

The Romulan Relief Fleet. That's still happening, and basically all of Utopia Planitia is assigned to it. That's gonna impact new builds heavily.

So, to summarize, I think the Cali class is built from old parts, and one of its mission directives is rebuilding the infrastructure Starfleet needs to begin building the new starships we see in Picard.

The Stars at Night was a great finale, but can I just take a moment to gush about the sheer awesomeness of how Captain Freeman responds to 3 bleeding age ai ships, which she just watched go through a Sovereign class ship like a knife through butter, are now laser focused on her ship? "Good, then they aren't targeting any more civilians"

Like damn, that's a strong Starfleet line. And noone on the ship even bats an eye. Its the right thing to do and they're the only one who can do it.

Like, really puts Boimlers mid season rant about how they don't want to fight, but it's the right thing to do in order to protect everyone else so they have to in a new light.

Aesthetically I’d say the USS Cerritos (and the California class as a whole) is like a halfway point between the TNG-era aesthetic and the Enterprise-E aesthetic.

At least visually.

…

In my mind!
