The ship appears far larger, though it is still canonically 490 meters long. The number of engines has been reduced; rather than having two primaries on the main hull and two secondaries on the "wings", there are only two primary engines and one secondary situated directly above the primaries. The port and starboard hangar bays have been reduced from five small bays on either side to one much larger bay on either side; they are moved much farther back. The enlarged cargo bay, a defining feature of the ''Charon'' class, is conspicuously absent or moved inside the hull. The point defense guns have been retconned into three separate models and increased in number.</ref>
