11.3 EMERGENCY LANDING OF PRIMARY HULL
In the event of a planetary body being within reach of a disabled Steamrunner class vessel, a landing of the primary hull can be attempted. The basic procedure for atmospheric entry includes jettisoning warp core and antimatter pods prior to entry. Explosive charges set within the Nacelle pylons are detonated, separating the nacelles and primary hull from the pylons and the secondary hull. Entry is controlled with impulse and thrusters, while IDF and SIF are maintained. Flight path is determined and the primary hull is guided into a sliding landing.
Data from a previous successful landing by a Steamrunner class vessel was incorporated into the emergency routines of other vessels, including Galaxy class saucer landings. |
