The | The '''USS Darwin-A''' was a ''Horizon''-class starship and originally commissioned under the command of Captain [[Reinard, Greir|Greir Reinard]]. It was among the first ships in the fleet to be equipped with the new [[Quantum Slipstream Drive|QUANTUM SLIPSTREAM DRIVE]]. The Darwin's most noticeable feature, the containment sphere, enables a unique set of operations that are not available to most other classes of starship including a full [[USS Darwin-A Sphere Section Separation|'''CONTAINMENT SPHERE SEPARATION''']]. | ||

The USS Darwin-A was assigned to the [[Zeta Gelis Region]] , a region full of undiscovered mysteries on the frontier of Federation space. A gold mine of scientific opportunity and the gateway to the unexplored regions of the Beta-Quadrant. With Starfleet bolstering its presence in the region to guard against the [[Zalkonian]] threat, the '''USS Darwin-A''' is deployed as a self-sufficient science ship with the ability to conduct in depth research and study without the need to return to starbase. | The '''USS Darwin-A''' was assigned to the [[Zeta Gelis Region]] , a region full of undiscovered mysteries on the frontier of Federation space.

The unique design of the Horizon class offered plenty by way of advantages in this region; spatial anomalies, corrosive gases and other such discoveries can be examined safely. Volatile sections of salvaged debris can be transported without risk of harm. The scientific possibilities are endless... | The unique design of the Horizon class offered plenty by way of advantages in this region; spatial anomalies, corrosive gases and other such discoveries can be examined safely.

But the volatile political nature of the region itself has also not been lost on Starfleet. The Horizon class is built to last and, while it does not harbor offensive capabilities to equal one of Starfleet's escorts or cruisers, it is resilient by design. A perfect match for an unpredictable region where surprise lurks behind every star system. | But the volatile political nature of the region itself has also not been lost on Starfleet.
