The Legendary Akira Multi-Mission Command Cruiser embodies the finest traditions of Starfleet. A command and control vessel fully equipped to handle delicate diplomatic situations of all kinds, including the sort that suddenly devolves into violence, the Akira stands testament to the need to be resolute and reasonable both. The universe is and will always be wondrous and dangerous, hopeful and threatened, so long as it is alive and free. As beings come together for greater and greater endeavors, the subtle creep of entropy lurks like a shadow, corrupting the powerful as all power corrupts and tempting the strong by virtue of their strength. Knowledge, exposure to new ideas and new cultures, and simple peaceful contact is the best vaccine. It is the enduring mission of Starfleet to drive back the darkness of ignorance. This ship is powerful enough to boldly go, versatile enough to meet new life and new civilizations, and should the worst come to pass, is fully capable of deploying that most universal cure for the power-mad: a Photon Torpedo.
