The '''USS Tiger''' was reassigned from patrol duty near Earth to Starbase 118 on stardate 237808.31. One of only a few [[ma:Steamrunner_class|Steamrunner]] Class ships, the ship was to undergo an experimental overhaul to investigate the feasibility of updating the class and launching a new subclass of Search & Rescue ships. After a six-month tour of testing and design, the Tiger was commissioned for refit by [[Wolf, Tristan|Admiral Wolf]]. Once completed, it became the prototype for the new [[Steamrunner-Wolverine class]] vessel, and now serves in the expected S.A.R. capacity for StarBase 118.  
The '''USS Tiger''' was reassigned to Starbase 118 on stardate 237808.31. One of only a few [[ma:Steamrunner_class|Steamrunner]] Class ships, and the first Steamrunner-Wolverine class in the whole of Starfleet, the Tiger is designated as the primary Search and Rescue (S.A.R.) vehicle for StarBase 118 and surrounding areas.
 
When not on a specific assignment, the Tiger usually patrols sector 118 and neighbouring areas. The ship does not have one particular commander, but is usually assigned rotating senior staff from amongst the personnel of [[StarBase 118 Ops|Starbase 118]], on a monthly or bi-monthly basis.


The Steamrunner class, although normally being categorised as [[Starfleet Starships: Escorts|escort]] ships, join the [[ma:Defiant_class|Defiant]] class ships as being amongst Starfleet's most powerful military vessels. At Wolf 359, the USS Steamrunner (which was still not fully built, and was operating at around 40% efficiency) showed its might against the [[ma:Borg|Borg]], scratching up several important kills. The success of the vessel so impressed Starfleet Command, that they immediately drew up plans to build three more Steamrunner class ships: the Tiger, the Horatio and the Yamato.

The Tiger will remain based out of StarBase 118 as a S.A.R. for a probationary period, before being assigned a permanent senior staff and becoming an active member of the base's fleet.

In times of need, the Tiger is reassigned a semi-permanent command staff for specific missions. Currently, the Tiger is under such an assignment, with Commander Sidney Riley as her CO.
