History of the COINIUM MK2
In 2379, 5 years after the return of Voyager star fleet's R&D was quick to explore the new Quantum Slip Stream (QSD). Built and designed to house the new drive system the Corinium class was born. Powered by a Duo Core warp reactor and equipped with all the lattes advancements Star Fleet Command quickly postponed many ship yards current projects to speed up production of this line of ships.
2381 the first of 15 Coinium class ship was completed. U.S.S. COINIUM past every test Star Fleet but her through and when commissioned Admiral Grims spoke " My friends, this is the future of Star Fleet, and she's got horsepower!" Later in the year the QSD was installed. During the first test of the new QSD a fatal error occurred. The board was green the order was given to enter Slip Stream. Once inside, ship personal started mapping the phase variance in the slipstream but not fast enough to calculate deflector corrections. 1 minute in to the test Command lost contact and the crew of the Coinium were never heard from again. With the loss of over 1500 crew members the order to builed the remaining 14 vessels was given but further development of the QSD will be delayed until further notices.
Hope for the Coinium was not losted. In 2383 a heavily damaged U.S.S. GRIFFIN brokered a deal to replaced there drained crystals with a new Crylithium power source. When the R&D examined the Crylithium and found the it's power is 4 time grater the there own a Federation envoy was sent for trade talk. One year later a new Coruinium was refitted with an advents computer holographic system thats sole purpose is to fly her in slip stream. The Coruinim Past QSD test and was the first official ship to be entered into the Rapid Response Tactical Fleet.
