Katana Class Starship  

Coronado's warp nacelles are mounted on reverse-angle struts, greatly compressing the ship's Z-angle and by extension, the energy needed for warp or slipstream flight. As a secondary benefit, this compression reduces the necessary size of the starship's shield envelope, giving her and all Katana class starships cruiser-like resilience in a fight. Both fore and aft torpedo launchers and phaser arrays ensure an all-around defense.

Katana Class Starship  
The Katana class was the most extensively modeled starship ever from Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, starting from a theoretical design nearly 30 years old. In the process, refinements from the last three decades of starship design have been incorporated. The Katana class is quite possibly the single most technologically advanced starship in Starfleet! Endlessly reconfigurable thanks to her modular saucer design, Katana class starships like U.S.S. Coronado should be viable well into the 25th century.

In addition to the traditional aft shuttlebay, Katana class starships include the capability to launch secondary spacecraft from auxiliary bays. Flight Two Katanas such as Coronado also feature a Spectre launch "catapult" just above and forward of the impulse engine housing, allowing the frigate to rapidly deploy fighters in combat situations. Both the main and secondary shuttlebays incorporate point defense phaser arrays also useful against small capital ships.
