The Magistracy was in a position to build a version of the ''Athena'' more faithful to the original design, and the resulting ''Athena''-class cruiser was the first WarShip to be produced domestically by the Canopians. Although the Magistracy had to improvise in some areas, those improvisations were made only as a concession to the availability of various components locally, and the class would continue to display its ancient origins through such features as the large bays for [[DropShuttle]]s it possessed, and the lack of K-F booms and docking collars.<ref name="FR2765:Pp31+"/> The corporation within the Magistracy responsible for developing the ''Athena'' from a design into a functioning WarShip class was the Athena Corporation, founded in the [[twenty-sixth century]] and tasked with the "Athena Project". The Athena Corporation began with a combined engineering firm and think tank located in the [[Canopus IV]] system and successfully launched the first ''Athena''-class WarShip, the [[Athena (Individual Athena-class WarShip)|MCS ''Athena'']] in [[2569]]. Only one more ''Athena'' would be produced prior to the [[Reunification War]], the [[Kossandra Centrella (Individual Athena-class WarShip)|MCS ''Kossandra Centrella'']].<ref name="FR2765:Pp10"/>

In contrast with many WarShips the ''Athena'' featured roomy and well-appointed quarters for all of its personnel, not just a select number of officers, as well as similar quarters for any passengers being transported. All of these quarters were encompassed within the two large rotating gravity decks, and the ''Athena'' was a popular choice amongst upper-echelon officers looking for a flagship.<ref name="FR2765:Pp31+"/>
