USS Thor: Difference between revisions

The '''USS ''Thor'' ''', a [[Vesta class]] multi-mission explorer, was relaunched on stardate 239406.xx under the command of '''Rear Admiral [[Toni Turner]]''' on a mission of scientific exploration and defence of Federation worlds and allies in and around the [[Duronis Sector]] and [[Typhon Expanse]].

The '''USS ''Thor'' '''was built in 2385 and was part of an initiative to refocus on exploration and fleet-wide modernization. The Thor was built at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards on Mars in the Sol sector and launched under the command Captain Oscar Chungo to explore the frontiers of the Alpha Quadrant. However, following the Hobus Supernova Disaster in 2387, the Thor was sent into the Beta Quadrant to help with relief efforts to resettle displaced Reman and Romulan communities. In 2389, the Thor was one of the first Federation vessels to come into contact with the invading Klingon forces near Romulan territory that hoped to take advantage of the chaos caused by the Hobus disaster and the weakened Romulan Empire. While the Thor was able to give the Federation notice of the impending Klingon Invasion the ship itself was nearly destroyed. It was eventually brought back to the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards where it has been since early 2390.

A series of recent events have caught the attention of Starfleet Command that resulted in the order to repair the Thor and make her space worthy. [[Image:Vesta1.png|500px|left]]   

These events include the War of Shadows, hostilities with the Romulan Empire and Zalkonian Suzerainty, the near destruction of the USS Thunder-A, and technological advancements that have made exploration of the Typhon Expanse possible. The USS Thor was recommissioned under the command of Rear Admiral Toni Turner in hopes of further exploring the Typhon Expanse. While turning an eye to exploration, Starfleet also recognizes that the threats against Federation worlds are myriad, and growing. The defensive and combat capabilities of the ship have therefore been refitted with cutting-edge technologies that ensure it is able to defend itself, the people of the United Federation of Planets, and its allies.
