Welcome to the web site for the '''USS MACRONIN''', an ''Katana II''-class Light Cruiser in [[TACRON 49 - Tactical Squadron 49| Tacital Squadron 49]] of ASR's [[Green Fleet]].

The KATANA-class also features improved remote systems which allow for the ship to be manned by a smaller crew than a conventional cruiser. This frees necessary space for combat shuttle pilots and maintenance personnel and actually results in a slightly reduced overall crew as compared to a conventional MONTU.

 

The original MONTU-class cruiser is a descendent of the successful AKIRA-class warships that entered service early in the 2330's. The revolutionary catamaran configuration of the AKIRA's had proven itself as an efficient and robust design through diverse tactical engagements.

 

 

Application of ablative armor to critical areas of the structure, as deemed necessary from the AKIRA's, has also provided a much needed defensive boost to the refit design. Likewise the incorporation of a point defense system adds to defense by providing an additional defence against missile and projectile attacks.

 

The mark II model of the KATANA has been modified to handle the latest advanced combat shuttles which possess gravitic rather than conventional impulse drives. These craft were first deployed on the KRONSHTADT-class advanced escort carriers.

 

Because of the new drive system, the shuttles must be pushed clear of the hull before bringing their own drives to full power. This creates a vulnearability when they are deployed from a conventional carrier. As such, the mark II KATANA has been outfitted with laterally-mounted linear accelerators which serve as launch tubes. These literally fire the shuttles out of the side of the ship. Since the shuttle's own drive is on standby, they have limited intertial compensation during this phase so accelerations are limited, but it does push them well clear of the hull more efficiently than using tractor beams. Should the tubes be damaged, it is possible to deploy the shuttles through the aft recovery doors by using tractor beams. However, this operation is much slower.
