Assembling an in-depth, comprehensive technical manual to the
UFS Arcadia is an ambitious, time-consuming project, for which, unfortunately, the webmaster has not had time. Numerous attempts to begin have met with failure.
Therefore, this page can guide you to finding good sources elsewhere for technical information--which,
with a little imagination and the guide of our
"Specs" page, can be applied to
envisioning the setup ("how things work") aboard
Arcadia.
In time this page will also explore the major differences
of the Quantum-class
Arcadia as compared to other starships;
please check back for updates.
If you haven't done so already, buy or borrow from your local library copies of
Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual and the
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Technical Manual. Both are chock full of information from officials directly involved in the production of the various
Star Trek series, which of course is the breeding ground for all things Trek.
Getting into the 'nuts & bolts' aspects can generate great and unexpected ideas,
and can also build enthusiasm, when the world you're playing in seems more 'real'.
Much of
Arcadia's technical workings is drawn from these two invaluable sources.
