The USS Morningstar was the first of the Ronin Class to be commissioned into Starfleet. The vessel was conceived and constructed at Utopia Planitia, Mars in early 2382 as Project NX-8216X. The name is as universal as the vessel. Meaning both the rising sun to start a new day, just as the concept was to start Starfleet's reemergence into exploration. It also means a weapon of the middle ages, a club with a spiked ball and or chain attached to it. The reliable weapon of that ancient time signifies the abilities of the Morningstar's class.

Specifications

The USS Morningstar was commanded by Captain Christopher Hutton. The vessel was virtually untested in battle, but passed all its shakedown challenges with flying colors. Hutton and his crew had been given the unique opportunity to "write the book" on this vessel and make a name for both the Morningstar and the Ronin Class in the galaxy.

  • Registry Number: NCC-81269
  • Class: Ronin

The Ronin class was fielded in the 2382 to provide a replacement for the aging Nebula class vessel and also as smaller, more numerous counterparts to the Sovereign class vessel. The Ronin class has an interchangeable pod that allows it to have many uses in the fleet. In times of war the pod can be outfitted with a full weapons package, giving the smaller vessel quite a powerful punch to compliment that of the Sovereign class. In times of peace, it can be outfitted with anything from cargo pod space to sensor packages for exploration proposes. The Ronin class vessel's size allows for relatively quicker production than that of the Sovereign class. This allows Starfleet to field larger numbers of the vessel, a goal which Starfleet was interested in following the Dominion War.

The Ronin has a main warp core and a secondary smaller core, to allow both the star drive and the saucer section to have a warp drive. Even though the saucer section is only capable of a maximum of warp 4, it allows for a speedy get away in case of danger.

The Ronin, normally outfitted with the sensor package, is considerably smaller than the Sovereign class and less armed. It makes up for its lack of weaponry with more maneuverability and with the added support of FA-150 fighters it can hold it's own in most situations.

Although the USS Morningstar had a glorious run under the commands of Captain Theodore Draigon, and Fleet Captain Christopher Hutton, and it was assumed that she was destroyed in 2386.

However, the previous crew of Ops found the Morningstar adrift in the Bassen Rift. She was then renamed USS Discovery NCC-31929-B, and Captain Tyr Waltas was given the command of her.

Since, the Discovery B has been decommissioned, and the Sovereign class USS Discovery NCC-31929-C has been commissioned, and, once again, Captain Waltas was given command of her.
