Nova class science/scout ortho [New]

Actually, a Nova Class is 221.74 meters long, or 222 meters overall. This is according to a quote from her designer, Rick Sternbach, from Eaglemoss Magazine No. 15. Voyager was only about 100 meters longer than Equinox, although she had twice the decks as well as a much-thicker primary hull. A Nova was actually larger than a Defiant-class, which was only about 150 meters long, and was in fact the earlier version; the Nova was originally intended to be a torpedo boat. The design board removed four torpedo tubes and replaced them with far more appropriate sensor pallettes. What was the rear torpedo launcher became a piggyback cargo hold, which can double as a secondary shuttlebay in a pinch.
