Assorted[]

Margaret Fitzgerald was captain of the Shaitan in the 2270s. (More Missions, More Myths 18: "Fatal Vision").

Jonathan Lane had learned military tactics years earlier (prior to 2288) while serving under Captain Douglass White on the Shaitan. (Star Trek: Avenger: "Border Skirmish")

Delta Dynamics[]

Syracuse d (DD) 3-ortho

The Syracuse destroyer configuration

In this continuity, the USS Shaitan (NCC-436) was a Syracuse-class destroyer in Starfleet service during the 23rd century.

Siva d (DD) 3-ortho

The original Siva destroyer configuration

By the end of 2242, all remaining Syracuse-configured vessels had been converted to the Siva subclass. The conversions (and associated newbuilds) were intended to enhance the fleet's escort capacity through the adoption of the new and radical dilithium-regulated propulsion systems and the PB-31 nacelle with its FWD-1 (and later FWD-1A) coils. The changes to support the new power generator required a profile alteration from the Syracuse-style saucer. In order to accommodate the operational, tactical, and support equipment the ship needed for its continuing anti-capital/anti-installation role, the saucer had to be modernized.

Siva Flt II d (DD) 3-ortho

Siva Flight II

In 2250, the remaining Siva and Saladin vessels, as well as eight Monoceros from the Hermes-class scouts, received upgrades of the external hull, warp nacelle, pylon, and weaponry. The new PB-32 nacelle provided cruise and maximum speeds of warp 6 and warp 8, while the weaponry was completely replaced: the torpedo systems were modified to support forced-intermix warhead supply equipment and the six phase cannons were replaced by an equal number of less massive—but far more adaptive—Type VII phaser emitters. The bridge was provided a lower target profile by being “sunk” half a deck into the surrounding superstructure. And, for utilitarian purposes, a powerful tractor beam emitter was mounted on the pylon's trailing edge, midway between the saucer and the nacelle.
