==Design Objectives==
'''''Pursuant to Starfleet Intelligence Directive 1045.35, the following objectives have been established for the Rosenanté Class Starship development project:'''''

*	Provide a mobile platform for a wide range of ongoing intelligence and counterintelligence projects.
*	Provide autonomous capability for full execution of Starfleet Intelligence policy and directive options in hostile areas of space.
*	Incorporate recent advances in technology and protocols.

To provide for these objectives, the Designers recommended that the Rosenanté class starship meets or exceeds the design goals in the following specification Categories;

'''Propulsion'''
*	Sustainable cruise Velocity of Warp Factor 9.4. Ability to maintain speeds of up to Warp Factor 9.7 for periods of up to 12 Hours.
*	Sixth-phase dilithium controlled matter/antimatter reactor for primary power. Sustainable field output to exceed 1, 650 cochranes, peak transitional surge reserve to exceed 4,225% of nominal output. (170ns phase)
*	Warp Driver coils efficiency to meet or exceed 98% at speeds up to Warp 8.0. Minimum efficiency of 68% to be maintained through Warp 9.4. Life cycle of all primary coil elements to meet or exceed 1,200,000 cochrane-hours between neutron purge refurbishment. Secondary coil elements to meet or exceed 2,000,000 cochrane-hours between neutron purge refurbishment.
*	Warp field geometry to incorporate modified 85° Z-axis compression characteristics on forward warp lobe for increased peak transitional efficiency at high warp. Warp Nacelle centerlines to conform to 2.56: 1.1 ratio of separation to maximize field strength.
*	Secondary (impulse) propulsion systems to provide sub-light velocities up to and including .92 light speed (c). Engine systems of choice to include but not limited to at least two YPS 8063 fusion drive motors. All units to be equipped with subspace drive accelerators, field output not less than 180 millicochranes at 1.02 X l0³K. Reactor Modules to be field replaceable.

'''Mission'''
*	Ability to operate independent of Starbase refurbishment for moderate periods of time. Independent operation mode capability of 1 Standard years at nominal Warp 6. Ability to execute deep-space exploration missions including charting and mapping, hostile contact scenarios, intelligence gathering and infiltration missions, full technical, biological and ecological studies.
*	Ability to support a wide range of mission-related ongoing research and other projects without impact on primary mission operations.
*	'Full Spectrum EM, optical, subspace flux, Gravimetric, particle, and quark population analysis sensor capability. Multimode neutrino interferometery instrumentation. Wide band life sciences analysis capability. 2 twelve-meter interphasic field focused telescopes.
*	Upgradeable experiment and sensor array design. Ability to support on-board and probe mounted science and intelligence instrumentation.
*	Support facilities for auxiliary spacecraft and instrumented probes for short-range operations to include at least 1 independent launch, resupply, and repair bays.

'''Environment/Crew'''
*	Environmental systems to conform to Starfleet Regulatory Agency (SFRA)- standard 102.9 for Class M compatible oxygen breathing personnel. All life-critical systems to be triply redundant. Life support modules to be replaceable at major Starbase layover to permit vehicle-wide adaptation to Class H, K or L environmental conditions.
*	Ability to support up to 200 non-crew personnel for mission related operations.
*	Facilities to support Class M environmental range in all individual living quarters, provisions for 2% of living quarters to be equipped to support Class H, K and L environmental conditions. Additional 1% of living quarters volume to be equipped for Class N and N (2) environmental adaptation.
*	All habitable volumes to be protected to SFRA-standard 347.3(a) levels for EM and radiation. Subspace flux differential to be maintained within 0.02 millicochranes.

'''Tactical'''
*	Defensive Shielding to exceed 9.85 X 103 kW primary energy dissipation rate. All tactical Shielding to have full redundancy, with auxiliary system able to provide 75% of primary rating.
*	Tactical systems to include full array of Type XII phaser bank elements on hull capable of 6.1MW maximum single emitter output. 6 Photon Torpedo launchers required for ship defensive capabilities.
*	Tactical systems to include anti-detection components capable of defeating sensor and optical scan.
*	Tactical systems to include variable decreased emissions systems affecting primary and secondary drive systems.
*	Tactical systems to include components to reproduce or produce false sensor signatures at displaced coordinates in vessel reference.
*	Tactical systems to include components to produce ambient radiation and gravitational energies consistent with surrounding spatial occurrences.
*	Tactical systems to include variable EM field dampening systems to reduce or eliminate vessel EM fields and signatures.

'''Design Life'''
*	Space frame design life of approximately 100 years, assuming approximately 5 major ship- wide system swap outs and upgrades at average intervals of 20 years. Such upgrades help ensure the continuing usefulness of the ship even though significant advances in technology are anticipated during that time. Minor refurbishment and upgrade to occur at approximately one- to five year intervals, depending on specific mission requirements and hardware availability.
