USS Steadfast-A
- For the previous vessel to bear the name, see USS Steadfast
The newly commissioned Galaxy Class ships of the Federation fleet continue to hold a valued spot among the fleet. Like the older vessels in this class, these new ships offer a diverse range of abilities and strengths in a versatile, if not sometimes unwieldy, package.
The recent upgrade in the basic design specs of the class's weapons and shields made the Steadfast-A, and other new Galaxy class vessels, able to adequately deal with the continued threats to Federation peace. Although the Steadfast-A was primarily a vessel of exploration and diplomacy, she also benefited from these recent upgrades by improvements in her battle capabilities.
The history of the Steadfast-A continued from the story of the previous USS Steadfast. The original Steadfast lost its entire saucer section in a battle with the Breen. Her stardrive section was repaired, modified, and attached to a new saucer section to make the Steadfast-A.
Shortly after the commissioning of the Steadfast-A, Fleet Captain Hutton was reassigned to the USS Morningstar. For as yet unknown reasons, Starfleet Command ordered the de-commissioning of the USS Morningstar and the re-assignment of her crew only a few months after Hutton took command. The Steadfast-A was taken out of mothballs, and Fleet Captain Hutton was re-instated to her command. Although she was re-stocked with a younger crew, the Steadfast-A was now back to full service in Starfleet.
Unfortunately, the career of the Steadfast-A would be short-lived as after only a few missions and action in the brief Gorn-Federation war, she was officially de-commissioned as part of a re-structuring initiative by Starfleet.
