“And the Titan-A, yes. You will see in the season, that in the observation room we honor the previous one Titans who came first. You will see a gold model of the moon USS class Titan as seen in Lower bridges, designed by Sean Tourangeau. And we also see an earlier incarnation of the era of TOS movies. We will see that there was a Titan that was a bit to Constitution pure class, the original Shangri-La class [designed by Bill Krause]. So, the idea was that after the moon legacy of the class led with Riker, that ship was damaged and retreated. Some of the systems have been reassembled and inserted into this new one Titanthe Titan-A.”

Matalas went on to talk about the purpose of the Titan-A, saying that it is an exploratory ship:

“It’s a classic exploration ship that’s a bit of a loser in the situation it’s in. So we really wanted to take a moment here and think about where Starfleet is and how it would see benefits in diversifying ship designs including specially designed ships. built that have been designed for specific types of missions Titan it’s more of a long-range workhorse than a ship. Returning to the Constitution class designed for long 5 year missions. She is an exploratory ship with some important maneuvering skills. Have you seen those pulse motors? Ugh! “
