Class History: Faced with both the Cardassian Hutets and the Jem'Hadar Super Cruisers the Federation needed a hard-hitting heavy cruiser that was easier to make than the Sovereign-Class. Starfleet specified a long-range, multi-purpose, heavy cruiser that could penetrate Dominion defenses and strike Strategic installations with little or no escort. The Achilles' exceptional low profile, quickness and armament could pit it against fighter class vessels, heavy cruisers, and small defended installations, specifically K-W production facilities. With the introduction of the Mini-Quantum Torpedo Phalanx weapons systems the Achilles-Class could cripple enemy warships while maintaining target on an enemy objective. One of the critical strategic problems faced by Starfleet Command, if the Federation was going to win the DOMINION WARS, was that the Federation forces were being spread too thin.
Between defending the Federation territory from the Dominion, and keeping a wary eye on the Romulans and trying to go on the offensive against the Dominion, Starfleet found it had too many obligations and too few resources. This problem became even more acute when Starfleet strategists had determined that the 'Achilles Heel' of the Dominion was the dependency of the Jem'Hadar on Ketracel-White. If the Federation- Klingon Alliance could destroy, or even severely threaten, the Ketracel-White facilities the Dominion's Alpha Quadrant Offensive would grind to a halt. Unfortunately the only ships the either Starfleet or the KDF had that could do the job were the Galaxy and Negh'Var class ships. Unescorted long-range strikes against heavily defended multiple targets currently could not be performed by any existing vessel.

The Defiant-class with its firepower and cloak had too limited operating range and the Galaxy/ Negh'Var classes, while having the range were too expensive in to be feasible. Neither the Federation nor the Klingons were willing to commit such large fleets required to hit these targets. To do so would have entailed compromising defense of key Federation and Klingon systems. A new ship of revolutionary design would be required.

Ship designers of Utopia Planitia were up to the change. They not only designed a totally new class ship, the Achilles, they designed and built it in under two years. By adapting current anti-Borg designs to the new threat a ship with revolutionary features that would enable the Achilles to fulfill the role as long-range cruiser with firepower equal to a Sovereign Class cruiser. This was accomplished with the new micro-torpedoes arranged in a 'phalanx' array allows an astoundingly high rate of fire that will cripple any Dominion ship. With the 'broadside' arrangement of the 'phalanx' the Achilles can defend itself against Strike fighters defending the Ketracel-White facilities while it maintains its focus on destroying the target. Redundant warp and impulse nacelles were designed so the Achilles can sustain heavy damage, and still maneuver.

Quad rapid-fire Quantum torpedoes and enhanced Pulse Phasers enables the Achilles sufficient firepower to destroy most large fixed targets in one pass. The new retro-thrusters enable the Achilles to maneuver as well as any Class 3, and most Class 2 ships. And finally, the Achilles has an unsupported, self-serviceable range equal to the Galaxy Class exploration vessels that is required to operate effectively behind the Dominion defensive perimeter. These Phalanx Launchers are rapid launchers designed to fire Micro-torpedoes at a very high rate of fire, designed to overwhelm targets in a short time.  These arrays are located at the back of the ship, facing up.  Because of there location they give the Achilles 3600 protection from above.

These Launchers have the ability to target and destroy smaller ships with ease.  It is equipped with 8 fixed Pulse Phaser cannons giving it a fearsome frontal assault capacity.  Plus it had three Quantum torpedo launchers, one rear and two forward tubes.  

The USS Achilles was launched in 2373 right after the Dominion War started the Fleet sent to retake DS9 was smashed.  The Achilles first mission was to proceed into Dominion space and destroy a small Ketracel-White facility.  The USS Achilles on its own, under the command of Acting Captain Thomas Riker attacked and destroyed the small KW facility and the half a dozen ships protecting it.  The USS Achilles made several more similar strikes on Dominion facilities over the next few months until the next Achilles came online.  15 were built before the end of the war with the Dominion. All were present in the Cardassian Invasion.  These days, the Achilles-Class Ships are station largely in defensive positions along the Cardassian Frontier.

off:the server there has problems ore something

*looks at valen*
why dont you just reprogram the emh for now

so when do we get a mision anyway does any1 know
