Additional notes
Primarily designed for fast emergency response, with enhanced provision for mass medical facility's but with enough firepower to undertake a holding action to protect an area whilst backup units are found.
It has a secondary role as a scout/patrol vessel.
The saucer section contains the vast majority of the medical facility's, the capacity separation at warp (limited warp flight following by micro-managment of the residual warp field) and minimal defensive capability's (Phasers, Type XIIs (Stream), one bank upper, one bank lower).
The naming convention for the MERCURY class is names of historical Alchemical or Medical figures.
Registration numbers for the MERCURY-Class are of the 169xxx series.
