Ship Info
USS Drake is the 40th Anton-class light cruiser built for Starfleet at the 40 Eridani Shipyards on Vulcan. She's typical of her fellow Antons, designed for a myriad of missions, from surveying, diplomacy and exploration to defense.

The ship is named for 22nd Century Earth archaeologist Dr. Elias J. Drake, a member of the Earth Arctic Archaeology Team who discovered a mysterious wrecked alien spacecraft on the polar ice cap in 2153. All members of the team went missing and were presumed dead. This is the first Federation starship to bear the name.

The cruiser's first commander was Capt. Gabriel E. J. Drake, her namesake's great-great-grandson. A scientist in his own right, Drake led his ship on two successful five-year missions (2260-2269), making 12 first contacts and exploring dozens of worlds, before being given a flag appointment to Starfleet's Science Branch.

The Drake's next commander was Cmdr. Saltor, a Vulcan engineer assigned to assess the ship's future. The astute engineer, after a year-long assessment cruise, recommended the cruiser undergo the Mark II (2268) refit. Saltor saw the Drake through her refit and subsequent shakedown before turning command over to veteran commander Capt. Lars Anderssen.

Anderssen guided the Drake through two five-year cruises (2273-2282). During this period, Antons were being retired at high rates in favor of the new Miranda-class cruiser. By the time the ship returned in 2282, she was one of three Anton's left in service.

The ship was assigned to consecutive one-year patrol missions while her fate and the fate of her sister ships were decided. Anderssen retired from Starfleet in 2284 and the ship entered into a yard period to prepare her for decommissioning, but the loss of four Mirandas to mysterious circumstances in the early part of the year and subsequent temporary halting of Miranda production forced Starfleet to keep the Drake in active service "for just a little while longer."

While her sister ships continued to prepare for decommissioning, the Drake's equipment was refurbished, damage was repaired, and the ship was given a new lease on life as the last of her kind.

Shuttles
The Drake carries three standard Class F and two standard Class G shuttlecraft:

Dalton (NCC-1553/3), Class F
Franklin (NCC-1553/4), Class F
Hubble (NCC-1553/5), Class F
Kepler II (NCC-1553/7), Class G
Tesla II (NCC-1553/9), Class G

Class Info
The predecessor to the successful Miranda-class cruiser, the Anton was at the forefront of the Federation expansion effort in the 2240s and 50s. A short-range exploration vessel, the light cruiser performed the more mundane exploratory missions from many of the new starbases that were being built along the frontier.

The venerable class underwent a refit in 2268 to upgrade the aging torpedo system and warp drive and expand the class to a multi-mission role. However, engineers underestimated the frailty of the Anton's reinforced spaceframe, and the nacelles had a tendency to literally shear themselves off the struts under high-speed and high-stress maneuvers. These defects prompted Starfleet to completely redesign the vessel, resulting in the larger Miranda-class cruiser.

Let's see if it allows image links. Here's one of Neale's color illos for the ship.



Yes, there we go. Now we don't have to deal with taking up space on the server.

Total active fleet: 891 ships (314 Class 1 starships)

Some rules for determining fleet strength:

1. Where the description of the class includes numbers, I went with those numbers (even if I disagree with them now...especially since they were arbitrary).
2. Certain classes have built-in limitations (the Anton & Constitution, specifically).
3. All other classes of ships are built on a #/year schedule
3a. The first year after a class' launch is a shakedown cruise for the class, with no additional ships of the class constructed.
3b. No new ships are constructed the year before, year of, and year after a listed refit.
4. Ship losses are determined first by known information (i.e. the Bozeman, Reliant, and four mysterious Miranda losses listed in the Drake's description), then using a dice mechanic (d6, roll again if 5-6; another 5-6 means a ship is lost -- I'll sometimes use 4-6 on the second roll, if I feel a class is often placed in harm's way or is somehow fragile).
4a. If a rule 1. ship class lists number of active vessels, skip rule 4.
