The image below
shows the catamaran secondary
hull design and the module
between the two secondary hulls.
This design can be found on most
new ship designs like the
Steamrunner and Norway class. The
idea of the modular design has
been taken from the Nebula class
where it proved to be very useful.
The module you see here is a
standard weapons module.

Ship
/ class history:
The Akira Class of
Starship is one of the new breed
of post Wolf 359 ships. Much like
the Galaxy and Nebula Class it is
a multi mission starship capable
of transport, Deep Space
Assignments and Combat missions.
Originally designed and ordered
in the early 2350's the project
was part of Starfleet cut backs
and was officially put on hold as
the more universal Galaxy Class
project which spawned several
varients, proved to Starfleet
command to be the modular Design.
The Five space frames that were
underway at Utopia Planitia's
orbital facility were towed to
the Saturn Storage zone and left
until further notice.
The Akira Class
takes the modular Design to the
limit featuring interchangeable
modules that can be fitted within
a matter of hours at a Starbase
Facility which keeps a standard
10 modules ready to be fitted to
each vessel. The Akira class is
infact superior to the Nebula
Class, however thanks to the
Universal nature of the Nebula
Class, the Akira was officially
put on hold. This proved to be a
mojor advantage when the project
became active again as all of the
latest Federation Technology was
used in the constuction of the
ships. As a warship the craft
extremely well equipped carrying
nearly 150 Quantum, 250 Photon
and 4 Tri-Cobalt Torpedos. It is
fitted with the new Type XII
Phaser array and is highly
maneuverable.
