'''USS ''Atascadero''''' '''(NCC-87080)''' is a [[California Class|''California''-class]] multi-mission light starship currently assigned to [[Fourth Fleet]]'s [[Task Force 86]], operating in and around [[The Triangle]] region. Produced at the [[Avalon Fleet Yards]] and launched in 2386, the ''Atascadero'' incorporated the latest Starfleet technologies available at the time. While classified as a Multi-Mission Support vessel and capable of a wide spectrum of missions, the ''Atascadero'' specializes in low-level diplomatic and administrative missions that, while often unglamorous, are essential to Starfleet's long-term goals in the region.


== DESIGN AND LAYOUT ==
The '''''Mat'Ha''-class destroyer''' is one of the newer designs in the [[Klingon Empire]] and the first Raptor in the [[Klingon Defense Force]] in almost 300 years. The ''Mat'Ha''-class derives much of its overall aesthetic, lineage from the much older [[ma:Raptor class|''Raptor''-class]] design of the 22nd century.
Externally similar to her ''California''-class sisters, the ''Atascadero'' has a large, circular primary hull, two large nacelles suspended below the primary hull, and a small secondary hull mounted between the nacelles. A "clean sheet" design intended from the beginning to fulfil second-line support duties, the ''California''-class has largely replaced the older ''Miranda'', ''Constellation,'' and ''Excelsior''-class ships which had been modified for these missions when their usefulness as front-line units had diminished. Unlike the sleek lines of larger explorers and cruisers which are optimized for speed and tactical situations, the ''California''-class is a pragmatic and utilitarian design which has an ungainly appearance, but has proved its value to Starfleet many times over since its introduction in 2368.
===Exploration and Science===
Like most non-capital class Klingon ship designs, the ''Mat'Ha'' has very limited scientific and exploration duties. Although it has a state-of-the-art sensor suite, the primary purpose is for finding and tracking targets in combat. Like most Klingon vessels, if a ''Mat'Ha'' discovers anything of scientific importance'', the ship will signal the nearest Klingon starbase or outpost to dispatch a ship better equipped for scientific endeavors.


The ''Atascadero'' was laid down in 2381 at the Avalon Fleet Yards as part of the fourth batch of the class ordered by Starfleet and was expected to be completed by the end of 2384. However, with the impending [[ma:Romulan_sun#The_Romulan_supernova|Romulan Supernova]], all of Starfleet's resources were diverted to constructing the largest evacuation fleet in history, delaying production on lower-priority projects. The [[ma:Attack_on_Mars|attack on the Utopia Planitia Shipyard]] caused further delays in starship production and the ''Atascadero'' was finally launched in December 2386, almost two years behind the initial schedule.
===Diplomacy===
As a destroyer, the ''Mat'Ha'' has extremely limited diplomatic capabilities and would only serve as an emissary of the Klingon Empire if it were the only ship available. The ship has extremely limited guest quarters, only a single conference room that could serve for diplomatic purposes of any kind, and virtually no diplomatic amenities. In nearly any instance, a much more capable vessel would be dispatched by the [[ma:Klingon High Council|Klingon High Council]].


One advantage of the delayed production schedule was allowing the most up-to-date subsystems to be included in the ship. Some of these advanced subsystems include an Advanced Environmental System, specifically in the VIP quarters, which allows the ship to accommodate nearly any form of sentient life. Also included was an Advanced Communications Suite, which allows the ship to send encrypted and secured holographic communications through the subspace network. Finally, numerous small incremental improvements have been incorporated into all Starfleet ships, differentiating the newest ships of the class from those built nearly 20 years prior.  
===Engineering===
The ''Mat'Ha'' largely follows the lineage from the original ''Raptor''-class of the 22nd century, scaled up. The ''Mat'Ha'' is roughly twice the size of the ''Raptor'' while maintaining the sleek, low-profile design of the original. The ''Mat'Ha'' incorporates many new technologies built into the design, unlike other aging designs like the [[B'rel Class|''B'rel''-class]] Bird-of-Prey which has merely received numerous refits to her internal systems over the decades. The most notable integrated design that allows the ''Mat'Ha'' to excel is her new generation engines which make her both maneuverable at sublight speeds in combat but also her warp engines which make her one of the fastest vessels in the Klingon arsenal. These engines allow the ''Mat'Ha'' to excel over most other Klingon vessels is the speed, allowing for rapid deployment to any battlefield.


=== VIP FACILITIES ===
===Tactical===
As one of the ''California''-class ships designated primarily for diplomatic and administrative support missions, the ''Atascadero'' includes three large VIP suites for visiting dignitaries, diplomats, and high-ranked Federation officials. The suites include not only an expansive VIP cabin, but also an anteroom and a half-dozen smaller adjoining cabins suitable for attendants, aides, or relatives of the VIP. These adjoining cabins are smaller but just as finely appointed as the larger VIP cabin. Each suite is a self-contained habitat, including dedicated environmental and communications systems, as well as the ability to quarantine from the rest of the ship if necessary out of medical or security concerns.  
The ''Mat'Ha'' was one of the few new designs from the Klingon Empire that came as a direct result of the [[ma:Dominion War|Dominion War]]. Where the ''B'rel'' was lost in the hundreds during the War, the ''Mat'Ha'' is designed to be battle-hardened against an enemy like the Dominion. The ship is more reinforced with armor plating, has more durable shields, and a more complementary weapons systems. Much like the ''B'rel'', the ''Mat'Ha'' has its main weapons pointed forward. However, unlike the ''B'rel'', the ''Mat'Ha'' comes standard with four disruptor emitters covering the remaining arcs of the ship if an enemy vessel would be able to outmaneuver it.


Also included among the VIP facilities is a holodeck reserved exclusively as a meeting space for VIP's. This holodeck can produce any environment that is appropriate for any species in order to provide an environment which would be conducive to peaceful and productive negotiations. As with the VIP suites, this holodeck has dedicated environmental and communications systems, as well as enhanced security features which allow confidential negotiations to take place without fear of eavesdropping.
Where the ''Mat'Ha'' earns its keep as a destroyer is its torpedo payload. The ''Mat'Ha'' is equipped with seven forward facing torpedo launchers and four reach torpedo launchers. Additionally, the standard payload for a ''Mat'Ha'' is 250 high-yield photon torpedoes. This allows the ''Mat'Ha'' to deploy torpedoes across a battlefield like few other vessels in the Klingon arsenal are capable.  


=== DIPLOMATIC STAFF ===
===Shipboard Life===
While all Starfleet Captains are authorized to negotiate on behalf of the Federation, as the ''Atascadero'' often serves as a diplomatic transport and meeting place, Starfleet has seen fit to assign officers to the ship who specialize in diplomacy to assist the Captain or other Federation representative who may be embarked for a diplomatic mission.  
The thing that separates the ''Mat'Ha'' from slightly larger vessels like the [[Vor'cha Class|''Vor'cha'']] or even [[K't'inga Class|''K't'inga''-classes]] is that it is purely meant as a space combatant. With that in mind, the ship is armed to the teeth but has very little to no troops on board for rapid deployment.


- Diplomatic Attaché: While not an ambassador or envoy themselves, the attaché is nevertheless an essential part of the diplomatic process. As a specialist in Federation policy, negotiation decorum, and liaison with other Federation organizations outside of Starfleet, the attaché ensures the formalities of negotiation are appropriate and adhered to. Like most officers aboard ''California'''''-'''class ships, the Diplomatic Attaché is typically a junior officer on their first independent assignment and answers to a higher authority at the Fleet level. 
==Class History==


- Judge Advocate General: As an advisor on the finer points of Federation and interstellar law, the JAG officer is responsible for researching and reviewing all relevant legal statutes, jurisprudence, and traditions. The JAG officer is also responsible for ensuring any legally binding documents generated during negotiations (e.g.- treaties) pass legal muster before they received the appropriate signatures and seals. This is a common first assignment for junior JAG officers immediately after earning their Juris Doctorate (or equivalent) degree and subsequent commission.

The Mat'Ha-class destroyer is one of the newer designs in the Klingon Empire and the first Raptor in the Klingon Defense Force in almost 300 years. The Mat'Ha-class derives much of its overall aesthetic, lineage from the much older Raptor-class design of the 22nd century.

The Mat'Ha was one of the few new designs from the Klingon Empire that came as a direct result of the Dominion War.

The ship is more reinforced with armor plating, has more durable shields, and a more complementary weapons systems. Much like the B'rel, the Mat'Ha has its main weapons pointed forward.
