Starting from a theoretical design nearly 30 years old, all of the successful starship design elements discovered over the last five decades have been incorporated. Endlessly reconfigurable thanks to her modular saucer design, Katana class starships should be viable well into the 25th century, and able to take advantage of new shielding, weapons, sensor, power distribution, and propulsion technologies that may be discovered over the next several decades.
