The ship:
*U.S.S. Atlantis*, Intrepid Class (just like *Voyager*) extra systems
include:
Phasing Cloaking Device (like what was used on *U.S.S. Pegasus*
and
Geordi and Ro)

appear
like others. Illegal in Federation, dangerous.
Self – Contained Controlled Chroniton Particle Timedrive –
(Abbrev. “SCCCPTD”) Time Warp Drive used to time travel the ship.
Holo-emitter system – disguises the ship outside (and inside, if
need be).
Mission communicators – nondescript, send video as well as audio
back to bridge, typically used with aural implants so bridge can secretly
advise away team during missions.
The crew:

Dimitri, possibly as a side effect of changing history during

skills, claims to speak 22 fluently. Can speak many Federation languages

on bridge.
There is an unknown mole in the crew from DTI (Department of
