The UEO seaQuest DSV 4600 and the UEO seaQuest DSV 4600-II are the two titular submarines featured in the science fiction television series "seaQuest DSV", which ran for three seasons on NBC from 1993-1996. The original seaQuest was featured in the show's first season, while the second boat was featured in the second and third seasons. Design specifications The seaQuest was the brain child of Captain Nathan Bridger, who designed the boat in the early 21st century, but Bridger left the Navy three years before construction on the ship was completed. Upon its completion, seaQuest was the largest submarine and deep submergence vehicle ever constructed, measuring 307.1 m from stem to stern with a crew of 88 military and 124 science personnel. The ship could travel at speeds up to 160 knots (295 km/h) and was propelled by twin fusion reactors. The seaQuest was coated in a genetically engineered bio-skin that remained completely inert against (most) marine bacteria and organisms with a crush depth of more than 9 km of water. The ship is equipped with a complement of standard torpedoes, as well as nuclear tipped SLBMs (believed to be named the Triton II), intercepts, sea to air missiles, and state-of-the art laser banks, as well as a specialized "grapnel torpedo", which, when fired, would impact a target and allow the seaQuest to tow or retract. The ship was also equipped with a series of WSKRS (pronounced "whiskers"; Wireless Sea Knowledge Retrieval Satellites): small sensor probes that were remotely controlled by the ship's sensor chief. The WSKRS, codenamed "Mother", "Junior", and "Loner", served as the "eyes and ears of seaQuest" and could relay telemetry data back to the ship miles (kilometers) away. In a pinch, the WSKRS could also be used as an emergency power supply and could be reconfigured for communication purposes. A special "Hyper-Reality Probe" was also part of the seaQuest's arsenal which allowed the operator to manually control the probe and conduct delicate repair operations or investigate various anomalies. The ship's communications buoy could also be detached to enable contact with surface bound vessels.

The ship was also equipped with a series of sea launch shuttles, as well as a series of speeder shuttles, a series of sea crab-class vehicles and, eventually, a specialized, high-speed, one-man submersible named The Stinger by one of the designers, Lucas Wolenczak. In 2032, the boat was equipped with two high-speed spector-class sub-fighters: high speed submersibles capable of engagements up to speeds approaching 300 knots (554 km/h), comparable to (but not equal to) the Lysander-class sub-fighter engineered by Deon International. seaQuest featured an emergency override called the "Dead Man's Codes"; in the event that the ship's crew was incapacitated or dead, the codes could be used to bring the ship to any location on the globe by remote. The helm control has the final authority over the boat's course (Episode: "And Everything Nice"). The UEO Secretary General kept one set of the codes while another set was flash-fed into the computer banks and scrambled at random intervals. Originally designed as a purely military vessel, the seaQuest underwent a refit in 2017 following the Livingston Trench Incident and the signing of the United Earth Oceans Organization charter.

History seaQuest DSV 4600

The seaQuest mission patch, introduced in 2018. Under the command of Captain Marilyn Stark, the seaQuest converged on the Livingston Trench where a showdown between various undersea confederations could have erupted in nuclear war. The seaQuest almost instigated hostilities when Stark planned to fire first in violation of NORPAC orders. Commander Ford instantly relieved her of command and the situation was defused. Thirteen months later, after an extensive scientific refit, the new UEO lured retired Captain Nathan Bridger aboard the ship as part of a VIP tour, however, once aboard, the seaQuest shoved off, effectively trapping Bridger aboard. Ford, under the orders of Admiral William Noyce, behaved in a very cowardly manner in an attempt to lull Bridger to take command. The ploy worked and Bridger signed aboard as captain. ("To Be or Not to Be") The seaQuest unwittingly brought aboard biochemist and war criminal Dr. Rubin Zellar several weeks later after Zellar had assumed the identity of his ice prison's warden. With free rein on the seaQuest, Zellar held the crew hostage with a toxin frozen in ice and gained access to the missile control room where he coerced Bridger and Ford to activate the ship's missiles and fire them towards UEO Headquarters in Pearl Harbor. However, Bridger had wisely disabled all the missiles once the crew learned of Zellar's true identity and disaster was averted. ("Games") The ship suffered significant damage when the communications buoy was struck by lightning several weeks later. With all power knocked offline, an away team stranded in a hurricane on the surface of the water, and a downed French sight-seeing submarine to search for, Bridger suggested that one of the WSKRS could be used to power the bridge stations enough to locate the French ship, save the away team and return to the ship to drydock for repairs. ("Bad Water") Several months later, seaQuest was hijacked by a group of ecologic extremists led by Colonel Steven Shrader, who planned to the use the ship's computer to obtain "shut-down codes" for various global pollutants. Shrader's plans were foiled when Commander Ford flooded the boat, causing Shrader and his men to panic and attempt to escape. However, Shrader failed to realize that because the seaQuest was sinking, the increased water pressure would crush his ship. He ultimately died in the attempt, while Lucas and Krieg were able to activate Captain Bridger's prototype "hull siphons" which pumped the flooding water out of the boat and refloated the ship. ("Nothing But the Truth") The seaQuest was also involved with several space-related incidents, such as the recovery of the Wayfarer, the first manned space vessel to reach Mars as well as uncovering an ancient derelict alien starship which had been entombed in an underwater ridge for over a million years. The crew discovered that there were still active holographic projections aboard the ship that boarded the seaQuest and expressed their desire to have formal introductions with the human race. The bridge crew elected to send a message to the alien home world themselves and not tell the military about what had truly happened. ("Such Great Patience")

Unfortunately, the seaQuest met her ultimate demise at the end of its tour of duty when Captain Bridger ordered all hands to abandon ship and locked the ship's autopilot into a direct course with a lava well that threatened to raise ocean temperatures and melt the polar ice caps. Detonating the ship's nuclear weapons. the massive explosion of the seaQuest was enough to seal the rupture and avert ecologic catastrophe. ("Higher Power") seaQuest DSV 4600-II With the UEO so impressed with the original seaQuest's performance, they quickly provided the funds to commission a new boat, which entered service in 2021 with some new bridge crew members. The new ship's first task was to stop the G.E.L.F. (Genetically Engineered Life Forms) terrorists from destroying the world's oxygen production facilities. Bridger was able to convince the G.E.L.F. leader that destroying the human race would also result in their annihilation as well. ("Daggers") Months later, the seaQuest was thrust 250 years into the future, where the crew discovered that mankind had annihilated itself due to its dependence on computers for entertainment. Lucas was able to deactivate the remaining computer system, allowing the only two humans left on Earth to rely on each other to survive and repopulate the species. While Lucas believed that what they've seen will be the way the future will play out, Captain Bridger believed that they still had the power to change it. ("Playtime") The seaQuest became the first ship to uncover evidence of the lost continent of Atlantis when Commander Ford discovered a warrior's helmet and sword at the bottom of the ocean. However, the helmet contained a curse of the previous owner, one that consumed Captain Bridger and Chief Ortiz. Fortunately, they were saved by a descendant of the lost continent through the employ of Dr. Smith's telepathic abilities. ("Lostland") However, another tragedy befell the seaQuest DSV, as it was lost with all hands on May 14, 2022 with no debris, no trace. In actuality, the ship had been forcibly drawn from the water by a powerful alien tractor beam and swept over a million light years away to the far distant planet named Hyperion, where the ship was (apparently) destroyed by a devastating impact from a barrier mine. The only survivors of the crew were Lucas and Dagwood, who appeared destined to spend the rest of their lives on the alien world. ("Splashdown") After ten years of searching, Captain Oliver Hudson eventually found the seaQuest in a cornfield with no idea of how it ended it up there or how long it had been there. The crew members also reappeared on Earth with no memory of what had happened to them or their ship. Nevertheless, in the ten years following their disappearance, the world had become a much more unstable place following the rise to power of President Alexander Bourne and his nation of Macronesia (formerly New Australia). With the world on the apparent brink of war, Captain Bridger decided to retire from the navy, leaving Captain Hudson in command of the seaQuest. ("Brave New World") seaQuest was nearly the catalyst for a nuclear holocaust again when environmental radical, and newly appointed UEO ambassador Max Scully, seized control of the ship's computer, deactivated the life-support systems incapacitating the crew. In control of the boat, Scully fired the ship's laser banks at an underwater nuclear waste stockpile called "Freedom Point." The explosion would have wiped out the entire human race, save for the select few living in his underwater colony called Ecotopia, had Captain Hudson and Lucas not been able to commandeer a supply hauler and drive it into the nuclear waste, effectively cooling down the uranium deposit. ("Resurrection")

The ship would soon travel in time again on October 28, 2032 due to a freak imbalance in one of the ship's reactor cores; this time back seventy years to 1962, in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Due to seaQuest's encroachment in the time line, they inadvertently were the trigger of a nuclear war that wiped out mankind. Using the discontinuity in their reactor core, they traveled back two days further in time and were able to avert the holocaust. ("Second Chance").

SCIENTIFIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITIES PLEASED BY THESE ADVANCES, ALSO WARN GOVERNMENTS TO PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY. 2001: "SURFSCRAPERS" -- BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTED HALF BELOW WATER, HALF ABOVE -- BEGIN TO APPEAR OFF THE SHORES OF SEVERAL MAJOR COASTAL CITIES. SUB-SURFACE FREIGHTERS BEGIN SERVICE. BY TRAVELLING JUST BENEATH THE SURFACE, THESE SHIPS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE VAGARITIES OF TERRESTRIAL WEATHER, ROUGH SEAS, ETC., ALLOWING SAFER, FASTER, MORE RELIABLE PASSAGE. EARLY SUB-SURFACE SHIPPING LANES ARE ESTABLISHED. FIRST DEEP OCEAN "ENVIRONMENTS" ARE ESTABLISHED BY VARIOUS INDIVIDUAL NATIONS; SOME ARE OIL DRILLING RIGS, SOME ARE MINING FACILITIES, SOME ARE RUDIMENTARY "FARMS".

1995: 1996:

THE SEA IS LIVING UP TO ITS POTENTIAL, YIELDING FRESH WATER, FOOD, FUELS, PRECIOUS MINERALS, ETC. BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE OF DEVELOPING THE NECESSARY TECHNOLOGIES, SEVERAL SMALLER NATIONS BAND TOGETHER TO FORM ECONOMIC CONFEDERATIONS, SIMILAR TO THE EUROPEAN COMMON MARKET, SO AS NOT TO BE LEFT BEHIND. 2002: MORE UNDERSEA "ENVIRONMENTS" ARE ESTABLISHED. BECAUSE OF THE RICHNESS OF RESOURCES AT THESE CHOSEN SITES, MOST NATIONS IGNORE THE AGE-OLD RULES OF THE OPEN SEA (THE 200 MILE LIMIT), AND BEGIN STAKING CLAIMS TO PARCELS OF THE OCEAN FLOOR -- AND THE REGIONS OF WATER ABOVE THEM. MORE COUNTRIES BAND TOGETHER INTO CONFEDERATIONS TO BETTER EXPAND THEIR "OWNERSHIP"OF UNDERSEA PROPERTY, AND TO STRENGTHEN THEIR RESISTANCE TO INVADERS. ENVIRONMENTALISTS WARN THAT THE SEA'S RESOURCES ARE BEING EXPLOITED TOO RAPIDLY. BUT THE ECONOMIC STAKES ARE TOO HIGH NOW; MOST NATIONS AND CONFEDERATIONS IGNORE THESE WARNINGS. 2004: WELL-FINANCED INDUSTRIALISTS, INDEPENDENT OF ANY NATION OR CONFEDERATION, BEGIN THEIR OWN UNREGULATED EXPLOITATION OF THE SEA. DRUG RUNNERS AND OTHER CONTRABAND TRADERS BEGIN USING SUB-SURFACE VESSELS FOR THEIR SMUGGLING (RENDERING THEM TOTALLY UNDETECTABLE TO SATELLITES, SURFACE SHIPS AND PLANES, ETC.

2008:

LOSING HIS TASTE FOR THE ART OF WAR, BRIDGER RESIGNS FROM THE PROJECT - AND FROM THE NAVY. HE AND HIS WIFE TRAVEL TO THE REMOTE CARIBBEAN ISLAND AND BEGIN TO LIVE AN ASCETIC LIFE OF MARINE RESEARCH. 2013: 2015: THE SEAQUEST IS COMMISSIONED, AND SAILS UNDER THE COMMAND OF CAPTAIN MARILYN STARK. THE SEAQUEST ROAMS THE SEAS, A FOREBODING PRESENCE, FULLY ARMED AND READY TO FIGHT. SHE IS A SYMBOL OFTHE CONSTANT THREAT OF WAR AND WORLD DESTRUCTION. OTHER CONFEDERATIONS RUSH TO DESIGN THEIR OWN VERSIONS OF THE SUB. ON THEIR REMOTE ISLAND, CAROL BRIDGER CONTRACTS A RESPIRATORY DISEASE AND DIES. BRIDGER VOWS TO CONTINUE THEIR RESEARCH ALONE. 2017: THE LIVINGSTON TRENCH INCIDENT OCCURS WARRIOR SUBMERSIBLES FROM FIVE CONFEDERATIONS CONVERGE ON THE LIVINGSTON TRENCH, EACH DETERMINED TO PROTECT THEIR CONFEDATION'S CLAIM TO THIS UNDERSEA REGION. THE SEAQUEST IS ONE OF THE FIVE. WARHEADS ARE ARMED. WORLD WAR SEEMS INEVITABLE.

THE PRESENT ... 2018: 13 MONTHS AFTER THE LIVINGSTON TRENCH INCIDENT, CAPTAIN BRIDGER IS LURED OUT OF RETIREMENT BY AN OLD FRIEND, ADMIRAL WILLIAM NOYCE, NOW SERVING THE MILITARY BRANCH OF THE UEO. THE INCIDENT DID NOT LEAD TO WAR. IT LED INSTEAD TO THE FORMATION OF THE UNITED EARTH/OCEANS ORGANIZATION -- A NEW UNITED NATIONS, DEDICATED TO CREATING AND MAINTAINING A NEW AND LASTING WORLD PEACE. ALL EIGHT MAJOR CONFEDERATIONS HAVE WARILY SIGNED ON AS MEMBER STATES -- DISSOLVING ALL UNDERSEABORDERS ESTABLISHED OVER THE PAST EIGHTEEN YEARS. BEYOND THE RE-ESTABLISHED 200-MILE LIMIT,THE OCEANS WILL BE AN "OPEN FRONTIER" ONCE MORE. CONFEDERATIONS AND INDUSTRIALISTS WILL BE FREE TO MAINTAIN THEIR EXISTING UNDERSEA "ENVIRONMENTS", AND TO ESTABLISH NEW ONES -- BUT THE OCEAN FLOOR AND REGIONS OF WATER SURROUNDING THESE ENVIRONMENTS WILL NOW BE OPEN TERRITORY. THE NORTH PACIFIC CONFEDERATINO BESTOWS THEIR FLAGSHIP WAR VESSEL, THE SEAQUEST, UPON THE UNITED EARTH/OCEANS ORGANIZATION. SHE IS TO SAIL UNDER THEIR NEW FLAG, WITH A MULTINATIONAL CREW, REFITTED AS A SCIENCE VESSEL, IN THE EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY OF DEEP SEA REGIONS AS YET UNKNOWN. THE ONLY MAN THEY CAN AGREE TO CAPTAIN HER IS NATHAN BRIDGER. DESPITE HIS CYNICISM, BRIDGER RELUCTANTLY AGREES AND -THE SEAQUEST, UNDER THE COMMAND OF CAPT. NATHAN HALE BRIDGER, SETS SAIL ON HER NEW MISSION.

The thousand foot long lumbering giant, seaQuest Deep Submergence Vehicle 4600. This cutting edge under sea lab/ warship, was the largest thing to roam the waters, designed by her future captain (and designer of the Alliance class ASV's) Nathan Hale Bridger, she was both praised, and feared. Tragically at the end of 2019 the seaQuest was sacrificed to save the world from the doomed geothermal power experiment, by detonating her nuclear arsenal thus destroying the seaQuest. But she wouldnt be gone for long, almost immediately upon his return to N ew Cape Quest, Nathan Bridger met with the UEO security council to lobby for funds to build a new seaQuest, to this date, the record for fastest deliberations hasn't been broken, as it took the council ten minutes to approve the funding for seaQuest II. A little over a year later, she was back. at the end of 2022, the UEO fell to shock as the DSV and her crew disappeared without a trace, and as a result ordered Oliver Hudson to command an extensive search that would last ten years to find her. He did just that. Circumstances to this day are still unknown as to why the seaQuest was found in an Iowa corn field, and the crew spread around the planet with no memory of the last ten years. Closing the case as unsolved, the UEO refitted the seaQuest with latest technology, and

placed her in the command of Oliver Hudson until Bridger turned up. Luckily for Hudson, Bridger retired after the liberation of Nexus, leaving the seaQuest in his hands. for thirteen years seaQuest would be commanded by captain Oliver Hudson through many successful engagements, forcing once powerful enemies to rethink strategies under the ever so watchful seaQuest. In 2045 Oliver Hudson decided to finally retire, around the same time the UEO felt they had to deal with some of the outdated technology, and aging of the submarine, as a result, she underwent another 13 month refit, having new weapons, systems, and propulsion upgrades installed, seaQuest was literally reborn inside out. To this day she resides under the command of her former XO Captain Jonathon Ford.

IMPORTANT EVENTS (2021/2022) Despite sporadic flare-ups, the world has increasingly homogenized during the last several years. Just recently, the disparate factions forming so many smaller alliances and confederations realized the benefits of cooperation far outweighed continued squabbling over borders. As such, there are now 7 Major Confederations forming the Executive Council of the UEO: Possible Member Countries italized Countries are those not specified in the manual. Canada El Salvador United States Nicaragua Mexico Costa Rica Belize Panama Guatemala Honduras

Entry from the seaQuest Year Two Overview Manual NORTH AMERICAN CONFEDERATION Militarily, the most powerful alliance (though most confrontations are handled under UEO auspices); membernations U.S., Canada, Mexico, and all of Central America are also economically the most well off, though several other confederations are giving them a run for it. FREE MARKET CONFEDERATION In large part, the re-coalition of the old U.S.S.R. empire, though this time in harmonious democracy. The region is still striving to better itself economically, and, as such, they're often on the vanguard of new frontiers -- willing to take the trailblazing risk with dreams of big rewards. Their mineral and seal-life rich coastal waters had always been too cold to support proper utilization, but with new technologies, these areas loom large with potential. On the other hand, this blossoming of Capitalism in a long-bereft are has fostered some of the world's most aggressively ruthless deal-making. The blind pursuit of cash is often the catalyst for ignoring undersea borders, making the area a prime source of friction and confrontation. EURO-AFRICAN CONFEDERATION* Traditional Europe, the British Isles, and the countries of Northern Africa make this a split-personality union. Both factions have ancient history and cultures of vast difference, but they've been largely successful in melding together to make their geographic proximity (also called "The Mediterranean Confederation") work. The representatives from this region are often cast in the role of dispute mediators -- having come to the realization long ago that fighting benefits no one. NORTH SEA CONFEDERATION - 1ST SEASON EP.

The overwhelming vast majority of countries reside in this union. Internal boundaries are more fluid here than anywhere else on the planet, as factional wars break out almost monthly. This makes the E.A.C. one of the most volatile and exciting places on earth. Rich in mineral, human an dcultural resources, venture capitalists are hovering on the fringes waiting for the waters to stop roiling. As passions cool and unions solidify, the dark continent shows promise of blossoming into a super-confederation.

INDO-ASIAN CONFEDERATION

The most populous union on the planet (China, India, Japan, the Philippines, Southeast Asia and Indonesia), the seas are essential to sustaining life for these people. Without the food they harvest from the ocean, starvation would lead to revolution. In this place where technology and manpower merge into a super-tuned manufacturing machine, the occasional oppressive regime sparks as ugly counterpoint to their overall progress into an economic giant giving the North American Confederation a serious run for supremacy.

* According to Season 3, The Chaodai had taken control of the Andaman Sea some 12 years prior to 2032. In that case, the Chaodai territory would be composed of parts of Burma (Myanmar), Thailand, and Malaysia, which all front on the Andaman Sea, as well as the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. SOUTH AMERICAN CONFEDERATION * * Aggressive and violent, this alliance of nations seemingly banded together with the sole intent of creating problems for the UEO. They're the shoe-bangers in every meeting, stymieing progress and encouraging dissent. Although technologically impaired, they are well-armed and hostile. Most of their attempted joint ventures end in factional war requiring UEO mediation, and their sea borders are always involved in one dispute or another. PACIFIC ISLAND CONFEDERATION Piled together in one place, the tiny island chains of the South Pacific don't equal the mass of Texas, but their Micronesia importance is so critical to a world economy based on the utilization and transport of the seas that they've Melanesia become vital players. With minimal resources besides warm weather and location, location, location, they control shipping lane access between the great land masses ofthe world. Peaceful and laid back, these people Polynesia live in countries literally built atop volcanoes, making them frequent and welcome stopovers for the scientific and New Zealand military contingents of seaQuest.

NON-ALIGNED UEO AFFILIATES Entry from the seaQuest Year Two Overview Manual Though affable, they remain Eisenhower-like in their isolationism, seeing no reason to join a confederation when they themselves are a continent. Cutting a diagonal swath into the heart of South American, these "rational" countries are still satellites of the UEO governing body, though they don't wish to be associated with their more cantankerous continental neighbors.
