 Deck Layout of the Katana Class Starship
Katana Class Starship Development Project These are the deck layout plans for a Flight 2 Katana class frigate. However, U.S.S. Coronado has a few internal layout differences compared to her dock-mates. The locations of most major features (Engineering, Sickbay, Holodecks, Transporter rooms) remains consistent with other Flight 2 Katanas, but aboard Coro, the primary Bridge has been moved to a combined Bridge/CIC facility on Deck 9.

In addition to a primary hull and an engineering hull, Katana class frigates also incorporate eight detachable saucer segments which run from deck 4 to deck 9. Included in this deck listing are permanent features of U.S.S. Coronado's primary and secondary hulls. Additional listings show saucer segments currently docked into Coro.

Saucer Modular Sections Running from Deck 4 to Deck 9, Katana class starships are fitted with eight modular saucer segments configured for each individual ship's mission profile or Starfleet division assignment. The standard segments can also be replaced for individual missions, if such is required. The segment types incorporated in each position aboard U.S.S. Coronado are:

Segment 1:  Wraith / Strike Craft Support
Segment 2:  Intelligence Support
Segment 3:  Engineering Support
Segment 4:  Crew Support linked segment
Segment 5:  Crew Support linked segment
Segment 6:  Science / Medical linked segment
Segment 7:  Science / Medical linked segment
Segment 8:  Tactical Support

Wraith / Strike Craft Support
4Wraith Docking/Refueling, Repair Bays A somewhat specialized segment, the Wraith / Strike Craft support module was integrated into Coronado during the F-K-R War. It allows Coro to service and support Wraith class corvettes, as well as Spectre class fighters, as well as other small craft, as well as berthing their flight crews.
5Wraith Maintenance Support, Cargo Bays
6Flight Crew Officer and Crew Quarters
7Flight Simulators, Classrooms
8Pilot Briefing Rooms, Ready Rooms
9Fighter Docking/Refueling, Computer Support
 
Intelligence Support
4Briefing, Communications Analysis An extremely specialized segment, the Intelligence Support module was created expressly for use aboard U.S.S. Coronado and is a one-of-a-kind facility for intelligence and counter-intelligence operations, including reconnaissance, strategic analysis, and electronic warfare.

6Intelligence Officer's Quarters

9Stellar Cartography, Computer Support
 
Saucer Segment Example  
Note the removable saucer segments in the diagram to the left. Highlighted in red is Segment Three, which normally houses an Engineering Support segment on U.S.S. Coronado. Of course, this segment can be removed at need and replaced with another type of segment.

With all of its segments removed, Coronado and other Katana class starships are still able to manuever on impulse power and maintain a small crew, but are unable to achieve warp or slipstream velocity. In addition, since the main phaser arrays are interlinked through the saucer segments, main phasers will not be available without all eight segments in place.

 
Engineering Support
4External Access Hatches, EVA Control The Engineering Support segment provides additional work areas and simulation areas for starship Engineering personnel, as well as supplemental quarters. Workbees and EVA suits are also often stored in this part of the ship, in addition to fuel cells and emergency power.

6Engineering Officer's Quarters
7Cargo Bays, Supplemental Storage
8Auxilliary Fusion Power Generators
9Engineering Storage, Computer Support
 
Crew Support linked segment
4Bridge Officer's Quarters, Officer's Mess Crew Support segments are usually paired, and contain all of the living quarters and supplemental storage required for the ship's crew, including partially independent life support and emergency life support facilities and emergency shelters. In particular, the Captain's Quarters are on Deck 5.

6Junior Officer's Quarters

8Crew Quarters, Auxilliary Life Support

Science / Medical linked segment
4"Soft" Sciences Labs, Offices Katana class starships are not generally intended to be first-tier explorers, but do have sufficient facilities for second-tier exploration and research. The linked Science and Medical segment includes all of the capabilities needed to do this work, including laboratories and support facilities.
5Jr. Science / Medical Officer's Quarters
6Science / Medical Officer's Quarters
7Medical Labs, Technician Quarters
8Science Labs, Science Storage Bays
9Astrometrics Lab, Computer Support
 
Tactical Support
4Strategic Analysis Labs The Tactical Support segment is the third most commonly attached segment to Katana class starships after Crew Support and Science / Medical. It provides work areas for Tactical and Security personnel, as well as Brig and recreational facilities, the latter often used by the entire crew.
5Tactical / Security Officer's Quarters
6Gymnasiums, Personal Exercise Rooms
7Target Range, Velocity Chambers
8GravBall Courts, Parrises Squares Arena
9Brig, Computer Support

Individual or paired segments can be removed and replaced at a Starbase or other repair facility. When replacing segments for a special mission profile, most often, the Cargo Support and specialized modules will be removed. There are also other modules not listed above that are intended for specialized functions. For instance, responding to a plague might require that most of the ship's saucer segments be replaced with Medical/Science segments or dedicated Medical or Transport segments. In addition, new modules are being developed. Finally, the creation of these modules allows for easier upgrades of technology related to the facilities in each module.

Once you're done here, tap Back to return to the Coronado information index or the Return key at the bottom of your PADD, and you will be returned to the main index.
