Carrying on the proud tradition of its predecessors, the ''Akira'' Class '''USS Discovery''', NCC-31929, was launched on Stardate 238006.06. Commanded by Commander Steve McCall, the ship served as the lead support vessel for StarBase 118. On her shakedown cruise, she was attacked by a Romulan Warbird and slightly damaged. Successive scans of the ship turned up several bombs placed by Romulan terrorists, but the bombs were quickly diffused by the Discovery crew. | Carrying on the proud tradition of its predecessors, the ''Akira'' Class '''USS Discovery''', NCC-31929, was launched on Stardate 238006.06.

*Flight Deck: Another unusual feature of the Akira class is the hangar bay arrangements. There are two large shuttle bays in the saucer section, one at the forward edge of the saucer section and one at the rear. These are linked together through the centre of the ship, allowing large numbers of launch and landing operations to be handled simultaneously. During peacetime this allows the Akira to evacuate large numbers of small survey craft, or ferry evacuees on board at a high rate. During the [[ma:Dominion_War|Dominion War]] the ships often serve as fighter carriers; in this role they can carry up to one hundred attack fighters, although a load of thirty six fighters and a dozen utility craft is more usual. | *Flight Deck: Another unusual feature of the Akira class is the hangar bay arrangements.
