Notes:
 The MIRANDA class spaceframe is the longest running design
 in Starfleet. Designed in the late 23rd century the MIRANDA class
 spaceframe has survived a dozen major shifts in StarFleet design
 strategy, revealing the strength and useability of the design. The 
 MULHOLLAND class fast frigate is the 13th class of starship to 
 use the MIRANDA class spaceframe. This class keeps the same designs
 that have remained consistent throughout the MIRANDA line. A large
 saucer section stretched to accommodate a shuttle bay in the rear,
 and two warp drive nacelles off to the sides. Also, a weapons bar
 with phasers and photon torpedo tubes is mounted above the saucer.
 The MIRANDA class, in fact, was part of the inspiration for the
 design of the NEBULA class cruiser spaceframe.

 The MULHOLLAND class design was presented as an alternative to the 
 INTREPID class when the construction of INTREPID-class ships was
 suspended afer the loss of USS VOYAGER in 2371. The older MIRANDA
 class spaceframe, proven by a century of service and a dozen 
 upgrades, was known to be reliable, and many MULHOLLAND class
 vessels were rushed thrugh production before they were discontinued,
 with the advent of the ORCA class spaceframe and the more
 traditional later variants of the INTREPID class spaceframe.

 The experimental aspects of the MULHOLLAND class were its
 revolutionary new computer system, replacing the mammoth FTL 
 supercomputers used on most Federation ships, the DRIPS Network, 
 and the subspace bubble around the ship that reduces inertial mass
 at impulse velocities, the RIMS field.  

Technical data on the DRIPS Network Computer System:
 Decentralized Redundant Isolinear Processor System (DRIPS): a 
 controversial design for a starship's main computer system, 
 this system did away with the mammoth supercomputer cores, 
 used on most Federation ships both before and since. Instead
 operating within permanent FTL fields, backed up by hundreds 
 of redundant micro-coprocessors, the DRIPS Network does the same
 job with a network of dozens of smaller units throughout the ship
 which do not require FTL fields. This decentralized design has
 the benefits of multiple redundancy and resiliency, as well as 
 lower power consumption, as well as greater computational speed 
 on less demanding functions, but with these come with the cost 
 of computational speed on more demanding functions; the balance 
 comes at use of about sixteen percent of the total system. Its 
 constant problems with high-demand computational functions drove
 StarFleet to revoke the program and return to the traditional
 FTL supercomputer cores in later ships. 

Technical Data on the RIMS Field:
 Reduced Inertial Mass Subspace Field: A subspace bubble around the
 ship, active except during docking maneuvers and FTL travel, reduces
 the inertial mass of the vessel at sublight velocities by a factor
 of twenty. This allows the ship to achieve relativistic velocities,
 even with its seriously underpowered impulse drive, and also allows
 extreme maneuverability for a ship its size. In fact, it has a 
 turning radius almost as small as that of the newer ENDEAVOUR class
 transport, which is small enough to fit in the MULHOLLAND's
 shuttlebay.
