Although it is frequently treated as a distinct ship class, the ''Trojan'' is arguably just a refit variant of the ''Danais''. No new ships are built directly to ''Trojan'' specifications, and it is even questionable if there is a "standard" configuration for a ''Trojan'' beyond being a converted and upgunned ''Danais''.

Notably, there is a discrepancy regarding introduction years. The ''Danais'' only debuted in [[2728]] according to the [[Master Unit List]] but the same database lists the ''Trojan'', a supposedly derivative design, as having been introduced in [[2720]] already. Unless this is in error, it seems to suggest the ''Trojan'' was conceived first (presumably as a smaller civilian cousin to its parent design, the venerable military ''[[Union]]'') and the completely unarmed ''Danais'' then evolved from there, which might explain why refits of unarmed ''Danais'' to armed ''Trojan''s were apparently trivial and happened almost immediately.
