0 - Introduction

This is an "out-of-character post" to introduce myself, talk about what I'm trying to do here, and what I'd like  people to do here.

1 - Overview

This section provides a general overview of the Alpha Class design project. 
It also provides a summary of the four classes and their common variants.

2 - Alpha class

This section discusses the goals and history of the Alpha class design project and the general
specifications and layout of the spaceframe held in common by all four classes.

3 - Alpha pods

The Alpha class design projects system of interchangeable pods are one of the most important elements of the project.  It allows the ships of these classes to be quickly specialized for a wide variety of roles. This section provides an overview and the general technical specifications of
the series of pods designed to be carried by these classes of ships

4 - Astraeus class advanced cruiser

The Oleet class transports are the rarest of the Alpha class design projects ships but fulfill an important role.  They specialize in extending the Federation's diplomatic presence in the alpha quadrant.  They are the alpha class project’s diplomatic variant, designed to carry ambassadors and senior politicians in safety and to provide a mobile center for diplomatic and bureaucratic operations. 

7 - Peisander class transport

The Peisander class transport is perhaps the least glamorous but most important of the Alpha class design project's results.  It is the workhorse of the project, designed to quickly and efficiently carry the people and products of the Federation

8 - Technology Review

Several new technological innovations are incorporated into the Alpha class ships. While it is not
possible address them all in this document, this section does provide an overview of several of the
major technological changes incorporated into Alpha class ships.

9 - Project Members
