The Gettysburg is a Type-11 Heavy Shuttle assigned to the USS Ronin, named after the Battle of Gettysburg, (July 1–3, 1863). The Battle of Gettysburg fought in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, as part of the Gettysburg Campaign, was the battle with the largest number of casualties in the American Civil War and is often described as the war's turning point. Union Maj. Gen. George Gordon Meade's Army of the Potomac defeated attacks by Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, ending Lee's invasion of the North.
Stardate 238605.27
On Stardate 238605.27 the shuttle was used in the evacuation of the USS Ronin, after it became apparent the Romulans could be planning an attack on the almost defenceless USS Ronin Captain Walker gave the order for all Shuttle Craft and Fighters to attack the Romulans with everything they had. During this attack Shuttle Craft Gettysburg was destroyed with all hands, due to the evacuation it is estimated that 5 Starfleet Personnel gave their lives to save the USS Ronin, part of the overall 89 lives lost that day.
