This readme should always accompany these models wherever they go. Is that too much to ask? I think not. Description of the Model: ------------------------- I created this model in Lightwave 6.0, making detailed measurements and comparisons to schematics I've found on the internet. In particular the schematics I found at Adam Heinbuch's Sapphire Eclipse website were invaluable. (The URL for the Battleship schematics is: http://sapphireeclipse.3dworlds.org/Schematics/Jem'Hadar-Battleship1.gif.) The mesh contains about 2500 polygons. The textures are based on a Star Trek: The Magazine article featuring detailed schematic renderings of Dominion vessels. I've dimensioned the model to 1500 meters wide at 1 meter = 20 meters scale. I had originally scaled this vessel to 1350 meters, but review narrative and VFX evidence of my videotape of the DS9 episode, Valiant indicates a slightly larger vessel. In either case, the Jem'Hadar super Battleship dwarfs every Federation starship in Starfleet's order of Battle. I have made four previous versions of this starship, each one better than the last. As with all textured, original Starfleet Command models, I applied the textures with Cinegraphics UView. I converted this model to 3ds format using 3d Exploration. I used 3d studio Max to finalize the mesh and converted it to MOD format using the Max4 plugin. Like other Maggot Models, this one includes textures, textured break models, and a helpful and informative text file, which you are reading now. Technical Details: ----------------- Tested successfully in SFC version 1.00, 1.01 1.02.01 and 1.03, 2EAW and 3:OP History: -------- In 2374, the Federation heavy escort Valiant, under the command of Starfleet Cadet Tim Watters, attempted to attack and destroy a massive Dominion Capital ship. Jake Sisko, who, through an odd set of circumstances found himself aboard this ship crewed by raw cadets behind enemy lines, commented that this Jem'Hadar Battleship was "twice as big" as a Galaxy Class Explorer. This makes the Dominion Battleship at least eight times as massive as the Enterprise D and bigger and more massive than a Romulan D'Deridex Class Warbird. Jem'Hadar Super Battleships vessels employ ion impulse propulsion, ventral impellers and polaron beam weapons. Despite their power, they are slower at warp and less agile at impulse than their Federation counterparts. (The same, unfortunately cannot be said for the very-agile-at-impulse Jem'Hadar Attack fighters.) The Valiant's attack failed and the vessel was destroyed with only three survivors. In combat strength, the Dominion Battleship is, by itself, at least 50 percent more powerful than a Negh'Var Battleship or a Sovereign Class Dreadnought. The Dominion Battleship also carries a wing (perhaps as many as 36) fully-equipped Jem-Hadar Attack fighters. In all, these fighters more than double the offensive punch of the Dominion Battleship. Starfleet Intelligence recommends that no Federation commander under any circumstances should attempt to attack this ship without additional fire support. Starfleet is uncertain as to how many of these vessels exist in the Dominion Order of Battle. Section 31 estimates that there are at least 25 of these Battleships in the Jem'Hadar inventory. Starfleet Command has given these vessels high target priority, but only when adequate firepower can be brought to bear against them. ****** email me at Randallstong@prodigy.net if you have any questions.
