I saw this lovely design online — the USS Atlantis, Kusanagi-class by Diogo Vincenzi (here’s the ArtStation link) — and decided to stat it up for Star Trek Adventures 2.0.

It looks like she should be running thirteen decks or so and the pontoons would give her a length similar to that of Enterprise from the era. I’m assuming a smaller crew, so perhaps between 250-300. Using the Miranda as a base, I threw this together using BC Holmes’ excellent website:

Launch Year: The hull numbering suggests this was post Miranda and pre-Excelsior, so I’m thinking 2275 for the initial run of the vessels.

Overview: Resurrecting spaceframe design queues from the original NX and the Walker-class, the Kusanagi-class was initially designed for patrol and combat, similar to the older Miranda class. Like the Miranda, this series was build with a rapid-firing torpedo pod, but where the Miranda were build with large shuttle bays to accommodate planetary landings by troops and materiel, the Kusanagi was built with speed in mind and naturally lead these to be outfitted for long-range reconnaissance and pathfinder missions. Like the Miranda, these vessels were seen operating well beyond their original expected service life, some seeing combat in the Dominion War.

Suggested Mission Profiles: Multirole Explorer, Pathfinder and Reconnaissance, Tactical Operations.

Naming Conventions: Many of these vessels took their names from mythological or Japanese naval vessels like Yamato and Musashi, Shahrat and Argo. Registry numbers range from 1900 to the 1990s. Notable examples: USS Atlantis, NCC-1933 and USS Yamato, NCC-1966.

Traits: Federation Starships, Kusanagi-class

Talents:

IMPROVED REACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS: Whenever the ship attempts to move through difficult terrain, reduce the Momentum cost of the difficult ter- rain by 1, to a minimum of 0.

HIGH-RESOLUTION SENSORS: The vessel’s sensors can gain large amounts of accurate data, though they are extremely sensitive. While the vessel is not in combat, any successful task assisted by the ship’s Sensors gains 1 bonus Momentum. Bonus Momentum may not be saved. 

IMPROVED WARP DRIVE: Whenever the ship takes the Warp major action, roll a d20; if you roll equal to or under the ship’s Engines, you do not spend reserve power for the ship.
