Merian Command Science Dreadnought [T6]
The United Federation of Planets is never going separate itself from its need for starships that are specialized in rescue and relief missions, and the Merian-class was well-known for serving this role with distinction even during the dark times following The Burn. Its specialized systems are focused on being a bulwark against harmful elements, be they enemy vessel, or naturally-occurring stellar phenomena, to provide protection and support for those most in need.
This ship features a Commander Science / Command Bridge Officer specialist seat, and a Lt. Commander Engineering / Command Bridge Officer specialist seat.

Console – Universal – Reactive Radiometric Shielding
This ingenious shielding provides multiple functionalities. In addition to providing peerless immunity to all forms of harmful Radiation, it also boosts Damage Resistance to all other forms of Energy Damage by a respectable amount.
Incoming Energy Damage will also be converted into a 5km Radius pulse that deals Radiation Damage to Foes, and Restores Hull to Allies, based on the amount of incoming damage that triggered the pulse and was Resisted (prevented) by this shielding and any other forms of Damage Resistance your ship may have.
The pulse has its limits. Healing it provides cannot exceed a value of 5,000 per pulse, and the Radiation Damage dealt to foes cannot exceed 10,000 per pulse. The field will not generate a pulse from Damage-over-Time effects, or incoming damage below a certain threshold.
This console also provides a passive bonus to Radiation Damage, Radiation Damage Resistance Rating, and Hull Regeneration.
This console mod may be used on any starship, in any console slot. Only one of these consoles may be equipped on a ship at a time.
For 20 sec:
Immunity to Radiation Damage
+200 Energy Damage Resistance Rating
Once per 0.5 sec, when receiving Energy Damage:
