The KATANA-class is a long-range patrol variant of the MONTU. While maintaining the same overall dimensions, the class is distinguishable by altered weapon mounts and differences in the lower primary hull. These alterations increase the volume of the saucer so as to allow for the inclusion of larger shuttle bays. These bays are designed to hold combat shuttles and support craft which greatly increase the ability of a single KATANA to thoroughly scout a star system. This is invaluable in independent patrols, particularly in the anti-piracy role for which the ship was designed. While combat shuttles are of very limited use against proper warships, most pirate vessels are equipped with older systems and lack the redundancy and compartmentalization which make true military starships difficult to kill. Because piracy primarily exists in relatively sparsely populated sectors and border areas where an increased military presense is either not economically or politically feasible, increasing the effectiveness of a single small units was of paramount importance in the design. | The KATANA-class is a long-range patrol variant of the MONTU.
