Fleet Dolphin heavy cruiser
USS Savensu T'ness NCC-101734 a Fleet Dolphin Class GXC Heavy Cruiser built at Starbase 600. The latest and greatest. The Dolphin is the first class of disodium heavy cruisers. The Dolphins are 36 decks deep with a hull as wide as it is long.
The Dolphins are built with the latest advances in technology and comfort. They can carry 1000 beings in comfort to the most dangerous places in the Galaxy and bring them back. This class is considered a general replacement for the Planet class cruisers. A good idea that was simply too expensive. Also unlike the Manta the Dolphin has the bridge on deck one. A design concession to Admiral Hailey. However the bridge module is built flush with the hull. The Dolphin is build with two major power systems. It can be built with either the Disodium HE system (Blue Dolphin), which is preferred by the horned fleet, or in a standard disodium system (Fleet Dolphin) favored by Starfleet. Performance curves are similar for both systems.

- XO - Cmd. Nara Vular: Zarian female (Mongo) Lateral transfer from the Legions of Terror. Woman in a man's service and what that implies. Physically she is tough and carries a rack that occasionally gets in the way. Calling her "Tits" could get you killed. A good thing the nickname didn't follow her into Starfleet.
- OPs - Lt Cmd. Jeztar: Koo Male (given name is Tar, males reverse the order of the name.) A Koo male looking for more benefit that hatching eggs. A warm nurturing 18 foot predator.

- Security - Lieutenant Rodur Morden yiTegren: Kronin male Son of one of the Kronin rescued by Hailey and the Discovery. He sees Starfleet as home having been raised in the fleet. As such he isn't as much a stickler for rank and understands the ways of other people. Not starting his name with "Lieutenant" will not get you challenged. He does however wear his right arm bare as a mark of culture.

While officially a science specialist he will lend a hand where required.

All highly skilled in ship discipline and operations. All but the minor children have a battle station and emergency station. All are good at it.
