The Duderstadt has been especially built both to study and to accommodate the various energy-based lifeforms that Starfleet has made peaceful contact with. This version of the ship houses a Calamarain, and while each Duderstadt is subtly different depending on the specifics of the Energy Being Habitat, they all have massively robust power transfer capacities – both to handle the incredible amounts of energy involved and to protect that energy from interference as they are invariably much more sensitive than a typical power flow. The experience has brought about numerous advances in power transfer technology – study becomes much easier when the scientists can simply ask the energy about the subjective qualia involved in the experience. When pressed into combat, the Duderstadt can reveal the enemy captain’s miscalculation in dramatic fashion, deploying the Calamarain and Rerouting Reserves to Weapons in a concerted display of raw energy.
This ship contains a Commander Science/Miracle Worker Station and a Lt. Commander Engineering/Pilot Station.
