Bajoran Solar Sail Vessel

Bajoran Solar Sail Vessel (DS9-468)
Bajoran Solar Sail Vessel (DS9-468)

Spacecraft used by ancient Bajorans, propelled by light pressure from Bajor’s sun. Solar sail vessels, also known as lightships, had no impulse reaction or warp propulsion system, but rather had enormous reflective sails that caught the tenuous solar wind. Crew accommodations were minimal in order to conserve mass. Such ships were used eight centuries ago to explore the Bajor system. Some ancient solar sailors even reached Cardassia. Until recently, Cardassian scholars scoffed at the suggestion that Bajorans crossed interstellar space at such an early point in history, but such a transit was demonstrated in 2371 by Benjamin Sisko, who built a lightship from ancient plans. Sisko’s craft was caught by tachyon eddies in the Denorios Belt, sweeping it at faster-than-light speeds to Cardassia. Shortly after Sisko’s arrival, Cardassian archaeologists reported they had also found ancient wreckage of such a ship on Cardassia.[1] Bajoran poet Akorem Laan piloted a traditional solar sail vessel in 2172. That particular craft was already 100 years old at the time of his flight.[2]

Bajoran Interceptor

Image (CODE)

A small, two-person spacecraft used to defend the high orbit of planet Bajor,[1] the Impulse Ship was the primary defense craft of the Bajoran military in the 2370s, armed with phasers and equipped with tractor beams for towing.[2] Two Bajoran impulse ships, flown by forces loyal to the Circle, were encountered by Deep Space Nine officers Kira and Dax as they attempted to reach the Bajoran Chamber of Ministers in 2370.[1] A two-craft patrol with orders not to let Skrreean ships land opened fire on Tumak‘s disabled ship and killed him on stardate 47391.2, after the youth took the ship out of anger when his people were denied immigration passage—and the countermand orders came too late.[2] The Impulse Ship could be used in both fighter (space) and raider (atmospheric) configurations. It measured 33.10 meters in length, 33.17 meters in beam, and 11.23 meters in height, massing 108.96 metric tons, with a maximum delta-v of 15,600 meters per second. It was armed with six or more phased polaron beam weapons, and potentially other weapons as well.[3]
