The Katana class was originally designed as a patrol frigate capable of defending Federation borders against Jem'Hadar assault fighters. Her design was completed in 2375, just weeks before the Dominion War ended. The class was suspended, but reactivated in the 2380s when it was decided the Katana class could be used to solve certain problems in theoretical propulsion circles.

U.S.S. Coronado is one of the most advanced ships in Starfleet! From here, you can read about the history of the ship, review her technical specifications, or look at a deck layout and schematic. A detailed briefing on Coronado's systems is also available!

You can review the following Coronado data files from here:

Class: From here, you can review the design history of the Katana class, Starfleet's newest and most advanced design, her rather checkered history, and the elements that make this class unique. You can also check the significant upgrades and hull variations that Coronado and her dock-mates have been through over the years;
History: U.S.S. Coronado is a brand new ship, but her name has a distinguished history! You can familiarize yourself with that history here, a history the new Coro will be adding to. You can also view Coronado's dedication plaque here;
Design: Just in case you are not familiar with the basic design elements of a Federation starship in general, or a Katana class frigate in particular, this file will take you through them one by one. Recommended even for veteran officers!
Layout: Looking for Holodeck 1? Sickbay? Need to examine a good cross-section layout of the ship, or determine how turbolifts flow? This file has these answers, and many more!
Specs: How fast can Coronado go in an emergency? What are her defensive systems? What kinds of sensors are mounted? How many Marines does she carry? These, and many more questions are answered here...
Tech Info: Due to the changing nature of her saucer modules and the use of frigates as experimental platforms for new technologies, Coronado carries several non-standard systems not found on other Federation starships. From here, you can learn about them!

By selecting one of the items at the menu at the top of your PADD, you can access the information referenced above. All officers and crew of U.S.S. Coronado are required to go through these files in detail!

Once you're done here, tap the Return key at the bottom of your PADD, and you will be returned to the index.

Welcome aboard!

The history of Starfleet's newest experimental starship design!

Based on a design developed by Rick Sternbach, the Katana Class model was created by Ryan McClure, and is used with his permission.

The Katana Class was first modelled by Mark Kingsnorth and Arek Bellagio, and was used by the Coro sim from June 1999 to June 2003 with the latter's permission.

U.S.S. Coronado was inspected by UCIP R&D on Stardate 239906.01, and was declared spaceworthy.

The U.S.S. Coronado model was created by Ryan McClure. The Katana class design was created by Rick Sternbach, and appeared in the ST:TNG Technical Manual. It was modified for U.S.S. Coronado by Mark Kingsnorth, Fraser Deziel, and Ryan McClure.
