-With the continued expansion of the [[faction:lorath_matriarchy]] Matriarchy across planets and systems, a need for civilians to be able to freely travel between locations became prominent. Previously, the [[faction:lorath:starship:ferryman_shuttle]] was the workhorse of civilian travel, though, with the design being considerably antiquated, the civilian branch of the Lorath Matriarchy's industrial base concluded that an up-to-date design with an entirely new chassis be introduced.+With the continued expansion of the [[faction:lorath]] Matriarchy across planets and systems, a need for civilians to be able to freely travel between locations became prominent.

 During early design phases of the Merula-Class, restructuring of the Matriarchy's design firms took place to optimize contribution to the [[corp:united_manufacturing_cooperative]]. During restructuring of the design staff involved with the Merula, personnel from the Lorath Motor Vehicles division were transferred to the space craft design division. When confronted with the Merula-class design task, in the common manner of most Lorath, they threw themselves at the task using what they knew to the best of their abilities. What was produced from the process was a spacecraft which focused on speed, maneuverability, and style. Though, somewhere in the process, the designers did manage to sneak wheels with thrust systems into the design. Notably though, when design moved beyond the chassis and theory of function, much of the engineering involved reverted to drawing upon pre-existing Lorath designs including those of military origin. During early design phases of the Merula-Class, restructuring of the Matriarchy's design firms took place to optimize contribution to the [[corp:united_manufacturing_cooperative]].

-Departing from traditional Lorath design, the Merula-Class has been built to mainly rely upon a [[guide:ftl:continuum_distortion_drive]] as a primary means of FTL travel. Drawing upon designs supplied by the [[corp:united_manufacturing_cooperative]], a CDD was installed upon the Merula-Class which is capable of creating a CDD-bubble large enough to enclose an [[corp:motoyoshi_fleet_yards:ships:ayana-class_escort]]. Instead of projecting a large bubble, the field has been configured to be projected tightly around the Merula, allowing for a greatly increased degree of performance by reducing the area effected in relation to power delivered. This drive system is built into a pair of large outboard field generator units.+Departing from traditional Lorath design, the Merula-Class has been built to mainly rely upon a [[guide:ftl:continuum_distortion_drive]] as a primary means of FTL travel.
