The purpose of the Katana project is to aid in relieving the aging federation fleet of its medium operations in the Alpha Quadrant.
While initially it was designed to support only a small tactical capability, as the possibilities of intersteller conflict grew the design program was upgraded to fit the first of her class with a sophisticated weapons system, including several type ten phaser arrays, two burst firing torpedo arrays; capable of firing up to four torpedo's simutaniously. A single pulse firing torpedo arrays on the fore section, and two pulse firing torpedo launchers aft.
Ablative Armor was applied to the design, along with regenerative shielding to ensure its durability against any known opposition.
While projected specs therorized the Katana to reach a maximum speed of 9.95 for a duration of twenty-four hours, initial tests indicated that it would have the potential to reach at least 9.98.
In 2376, several months after the Dominion War it was decided that a certain percentile of federation ships must have the capability to be modified for incursion operations. Therefore in addition to the hull plating, the first Katana prototype was designed to fit an advanced and highly classified type of cloaking system. This system was successfully achieved by the Klingons in 2293, enabling the vessel to fire while under cloak. While the new cloaking field has shown promising results in the lab, it is still in its testing phase.
The first protype of the Katana identified as the USS Katana NCC-74900 was completed in early 2378 with a full array of tactical capabilities.
