The design for the Redemption starship class was presented and approved.
53087.7 Feb 02 2376 General Electric issued contract (SFCE Contract# 80135) to construct new warp core and warp intermix chambers for the Redemption project. New subspace field coils and plasma injectors to follow.
53208.2 Mar 18 2376 Deck numbers revised from the initial thirty-six decks, to forty-two. This increases the length of the ship to 836 meters.
53468.5 Jun 21 2376 Internal sketches, designed to revamp the entire interior design are dismissed in favor of retaining the design of the Sovereign class.
53695.9 Sep 12 2376 Hull geometry revised to account for General Electric's preliminary results that show the new core design will near the Warp 10 barrier.
