The [[USS Tiger]], a Steamrunner class ship was assigned to StarBase 118 on stardate 237502.01, as a patrol ship for the base. After approximately six months on the base as a patrol, [[Tristan Wolf|Admiral Wolf]] comissioned an experimental refit for the ship. Engineers drew up an entirely new package for the Tiger, which included a more powerful weaponry system, and shield defenses which surpassed it's previous systems. The hope was that the ship could be a protoype for a new line of Steamrunners, which would serve more primarily as escort ships, instead of multipurpose vessels. | ||
Engineers also kept in mind that the new Tiger would hopefully be a more stable ship than the [[ma:Defiant_class|Defiant]] class, which is notoriously quirky, with strange problems occuring here and there during operation. Being that, the Steamrunner refit would hopefully be a companion ship to the Defiant class, utilizing the most updated technology available. | Engineers also kept in mind that the new Tiger would hopefully be a more stable ship than the [[ma:Defiant_class|Defiant]] class, which is notoriously quirky, with strange problems occuring here and there during operation.
