The '''USS ''Armstrong-A''''' was a {{c|Constitution}} Refit Class vessel.  Her name pays tribute to the historical [[Armstrong Class]] of vessels that were early explorers.  She was commissioned in 2288, twenty years after the destruction of the original USS Armstrong.

 

 

The [[Armstrong-A]] was well known for being a border patrol ship which fought against the Klingons in the historical battle of Kraxin IV, and later went on to forge peace with the Klingons 8 months after the Khitomer accords when they prevented a rogue Starfleet officer from stealing a Klingon cloaking device.  She was decommissioned in 2340; but became the subject ship of a popular melodramatic holoprogram series entitled "Tales of the Borderzones" by Forsythe Historical Holonovel Productions

 

"[[Piracy on the High Stars]]" is the first chapter that loosely re-enacts the mission to prevent spies from stealing a Klingon cloaking device.

 

The USS Armstrong-A would be succeeded by the USS Armstrong-B, an Challenger class starship that was ambushed in the Federation-Klingon war of 2373 and sustained heavy damage.
