In the Pack
-----------
Three ships, all different versions of the USS Lawrence Holland.
1. Standard.
2. Sensor Platform Variant.  Additional sensor power.  Great in long range engagements and nebula battles.
3. Phaser Variant.  A little bit of extra punch helps this ship perform better in the opening volley, particularly against more advanced
enemy ships.  Also provides additional aft coverage against ships that can outmaneuver her.

Ship will launch type 3 shuttles if you have them installed.

Description
------------
The USS Lawrence Holland was the second of only seven Incom Class starships designed and manufactured at the
San Francisco Fleet Yards orbiting Earth.  The early design phase began in 2308 and the prototype vessel was
launched in 2315.  Despite being the only ship class of its time armed with phaser arrays instead of single
emitters, the production run lasted only seventeen months.  A comprehensive review of all existing and planned
ship classes was carried out in late 2318 by the newly formed Advanced Starship Design Bureau and the decision
was made to halt production.  The ASDB review found that the ship had been platformed on technologies that were
extremely near to becoming antiquated in the face of several unforseen and largely incompatible technological
breakthroughs.  Those breakthroughs would render the continued production of the class a waste of resources.

The Incom Class was built not to replace any existing ship designs, though many Miranda Class Captains were
concerned that their ships might be prematurely decomissioned.  Instead its purpose was to augment Starfleet's
core defensive ability.  It was the first class of ship to be armed with phaser arrays, much more powerful and
robust than their predecessors.  In early tests, the phaser arrays had been found so effective against existing
and predicted threat forces that the designers at the SFY felt it unnecessary to add a significant photon
torpedo launching system.

In 2325, the USS Lawrence Holland was the first Starfleet ship to begin surveys of sectors close to what would
become known to be Cardassian territory.  For that mission she was equipped with a special sensor pod, greatly
extending the range and resolution of the ship's long range sensors.

In 2331, the Holland was assigned to a lengthy term of escorting anti-matter tankers between production and
deep space facilities.  Given the potential danger of dealing with pirates and other threat forces, the ship
was augmented with 4 phaser emitters adapted from a recently decomissioned Miranda Class vessel.

In 2352, all seven Incom Class ships were recalled to Utopia Planitia for decomissioning.  Ironically, despite
the potent offensive capability they were originally endowed with, only two minor combat engagements ever
occured for the class, and both were by the Holland during her time as an anti-matter escort.

The prototype vessel now resides at the Starfleet Museum.  The six other ships of the class were stripped down
and recycled.


Tactics
--------
The Holland is fairly maneuverable ship that will perform adequetly against ships from the early 24th century.
It will struggle against mid century threat forces, and holds little hope against Dominion War era ships.
