## SPACECRAFT CLASS

The ***Titan*-class** was a type of spacecraft developed by Starfleet in the early 25th century. It was derived from the *Luna*-class and was classified as a scale 5 heavy cruiser.

## History

The Eclipse Class Development Project was intended to update the *Luna*-class frame for the 25th century. Begun in April 2400, the design was created by the Advanced Starship Design Bureau team at the Beta Antares Ship Yards. Approval was received from Starfleet Command a year later and construction on a prototype began. After the *Constitution III*-class USS *Titan*-A was rechristened following the Frontier Day Massacre, the admiralty chose to honor its legacy by renaming the *Eclipse*-class.

The class prototype, with the experimental registry of NX-98100, underwent trials throughout 2402 and early 2403 before the final design was approved. The vessel was then commissioned USS *Titan*, NCC-80102-B, in August 2403 and was followed into service by six additional vessels by the end of the year.

## Technical information

### Deck plan

Due to the modular nature of the design, there was great variation in *Titan*-class vessels outside of core facilities. The three decks within the mission pod were labeled Decks A B, and C, while standard numbering was used within the primary hull. The following was the internal layout of essential facilities aboard the *Titan*-class.

### Tactical systems

Like all Starfleet vessels designed in the Marrone/Ortiz era, the *Titan*-class had a hull composed of a neutronium alloy with a duranium nanomesh coating, reinforced with micro-ablative generators. The generators were based upon technology brought back from the Delta Quadrant by the USS *Voyager*, helped dissipate energy across the hull, and regenerated damaged portions of the ablative hull coating.

The class mounted eleven Type-X phasers, which all made use of the Annular Confinement Beam jacketing device, and six variable-payload launch tubes. The two forward launchers were located on the ventral hull just forward of the navigational deflector. Two of the aft-facing tubes were at the stern with the last two launchers located above and forward of the shuttlebay.

### Auxiliary craft systems

The *Titan*-class carried eighty-four Type A Mark IX and 2 Type C Mark XII Autonomous Survival and Recovery Vehicles (ASRV), each with its own berth. Forty-four of the Type A pods were located on the dorsal hull, with the additional forty on the ventral.

Like its predecessor, the design's shuttlebay was located toward the aft of the secondary hull. A long afterdeck led to half-dome doors into the main facility.

## Ships commissioned

Starfleet continued the naming conventions from the *Luna*-class with the *Titan* design and vessels were named after moons within Federation territory. The range of registries for the class were from 98100 to 98150, although the lead ship received a legacy registry upon its commissioning.
