Star Trek: Mirror Temugin

(not canon, but canon-compatible)

5 AM cannon arrays:
2x 656 default damage
2x 756 default damage
1x 1843 default damage

14 large turrets:  8 dorsal, 6 ventral
6 small turrets

In the mirror universe timeline from Star Trek, the militaristic Terran Empire was engaged in a process of demilitarization and reform under the influence of its version of Mr. Spock.  This was a good idea at the worst possible time.  The most powerful refutation of Spock's reforms came in the form of "The Alliance", a union of the Klingon and Cardassian empires.  Temugin was built as an answer to that threat.  


From the original Temugin:
This and the Antares were "Ships of opportunity".  Each are based on transitional steps while reusing parts of the disk of a Constitution to build a Miranda.  In the case of the Antares, it's still based pretty closely on an established Star Trek design. 

Both ships are an answer to a recent comment that my ships fared poorly in combat and needed turrets.   I didn't want to corrupt the design of cannon ships that lacked turrets, but these ships made lovely weapons platforms.  With the Temugin, I did my best to maximize the firepower of the vessel while maintaining a Star Trek style design.  If the Federation ever built a pure warship, it might look something like this.
