Background
The Apollo Space Program was a vision come to life when the Apollo 11 crew landed on the surface of Earth’s moon. For decades, it stood alone as the single greatest achievement in deep space exploration. On the heels of the program, mankind was tested to push themselves harder, and further into space. The Achilles Class Starship was designed to carry out the goal of defending the Federation. Now, it can explore deep where others have only dreamed of. With the tides of war behind the Federation, crews of ships tooled for battle would need to find new ways to push their vessel. Ships that had the ability to hold their own could be sent to explore far beyond the Federation’s borders, and still defend the Federation if needed. Completed at Utopia Planetia, the USS Apollo lacked the problematic THETIS AI system. The an updated science section was installed during the original construction of the vessel, to retool it to serve a multi-mission purpose. The ship design was now able to modify its initial intent of defense, to exploration where back-up is far away.
On stardate 2389xx.xx, Captain Andrus Jaxx was given command of the USS Apollo, NCC-71669. Leading her out on her maiden voyage, the Apollo would start her primary mission...deep space exploration.
