Kathmandu

This was another musing by Starfleet Corps of Engineers Veterans Commander Rupert Branch and Lieutenant Commander Walter Rubinche, both of whom, in 3/0312.30 (December 30th, 2364) with Rear Admiral Rima Carns, upon witnessing sensor readings and CG recreation of the Type B D'Deridex-Class Warbird, musingly doodled several different designs combining the Galaxy and D'Deridex-Class, semi-seriously wondering if this could be the future of Starfleet Design. While the resulting "Hydra" Class did not get accepted, Rupert and Walter periodically thought of the Design, and in 3/1201.04 (January 4th, 2373), returned to the idea and came up with a compacted design descending from it: the Kathmandu-Class Strike Cruiser, to quickly provide Starfleet with a Rapid Response and Picket Ship against the Dominion. While this one also got rejected, it was taken more seriously, as it honestly seemed like a better thought-out design, making use of more space and weaponry to truly accelerate tactical capabilities.
