BRAD'S COMMENTS: Another solid design from Glenn. I liked the fact that, while the saucer is still recognizable as being based on the Constitution Refit hull, the rest of the ship is 100% original, right down to the unique warp nacelles. Glenn tells me this ship is based on another model he built, though he was unable to send a picture of the model itself as it is not finished yet.

FANSHIP DESIGN & STATS: Glenn Gagnon, 2002
Clark Class VI Scout
NOTES: With the shocking revelation of a Klingon D-32 that was capable of weapon firing during cloaked operations, the strategists at Starfleet Command were knocked for a loop. Although the Khitomer Conference was--miraculously--a success, the Pandora’s box of enhanced cloak technology was opened. With the fear that more of this type of vessel might be seen within the Klingon sphere of influence, it was deemed to be of the highest importance that recently-improved sensing technology be deployed on new starships, especially those that patrolled near Klingon, Triangle, and Romulan spaces.
        The Clark-class scout incorporates the first-generation of that technology, along to improvements in warp and impulse drive systems. The primary sensors are a differential-based asymmetric passive platform combined with enhanced gravimetrically-targeted active scanners. The warp-drive nacelles take advantage of the miniaturization of some older, yet still reliable, drive systems. The Clark-class is manufactured at the Sol V and Proxima Centauri shipyards, and is named for William Clark, a Terran explorer from Earth’s 18^th century.
        The Clark-class scout U.S.S. Ceres became effective bait in a sting to draw out rebellious Klingon vessels from the IKS. The scout would cruise in or near the Triangle border and actively scan for cloaked ships. Once the Ceres found them, they would hail the cloaked ships and announce that they were in violation of the Khitomer Accords. The Klingons, seeing that they outgunned the lone scout, would attack, and the Ceres would jump to warp. They would be drawn along on the chase until they arrived at a small, non-descript nebula near Starbase 10. Once they were in range, the Klingons would be surprised by a force consisting of one Constellation-class cruiser and two Wilkerson-class destroyers. This operation netted about a dozen IKS ships before the IKS got the idea and didn’t try to take the bait anymore.
        Of the 38 Clark-class vessels commissioned, 27 are used by Galaxy Exploration Command, five are utilized by Starfleet Intelligence, three are assigned to Starfleet Training Command, two have been destroyed, and one has been declared lost.
