When the USS Eagle NCC-74659 was launched in 2375 it was plagued by a reacquiring computer system problem which almost saw her being withdrawn from service completely, but the arrival of the Dominion War meant that much of the ship building was geared to war vessels and anything else that could be used was drafted to aid the war effort. | When the USS Eagle NCC-74659 was launched in 2375 it was plagued by a reacquiring computer system problem which almost saw her being withdrawn from service completely, but the arrival of the [[ma:Dominion War|Dominion War]] meant that much of the ship building was geared to war vessels and anything else that could be used was drafted to aid the war effort. | ||
The Eagle was pretty much stripped of any unnecessary parts and used to ferry supplies from [[Starbase 118]] to Earth or where ever else supplies were needed. The Eagle performed well for the most part but reacquiring computer problems often saw her stuck in dry dock. Slowly she was forgotten and almost mothballed. | The Eagle was pretty much stripped of any unnecessary parts and used to ferry supplies from [[Starbase 118]] to Earth or where ever else supplies were needed.

In 2384 Starfleet decieded to authorize the total overhaul and refit of the USS Eagle. It took a number of months to complete but on stardate 238501.15 it was finally finished and ready for service. It had recieved an almost total refit to bring the Eagle up to and beyond it's [[Intrepid Class]] specifications. | In 2384 Starfleet decieded to authorize the total overhaul and refit of the USS Eagle.

The extra space from redundant cargo holds was replaced by sophisticated sensor equipment and shield generators as well as torpedo storage and a larger aft shuttle bay. Due to the extra space, the crew quarters are slightly larger and more luxurious than on other intrepid class vessels. | The extra space from redundant cargo holds was replaced by sophisticated [[ma:sensor]] equipment and [[ma:shield generator|shield generators]] as well as torpedo storage and a larger aft [[Craft_assigned_to_USS_Eagle|shuttle bay]].

Probably the most significant thing about the Eagle since her refit is her completely new computer system, a state of the art Dual Core Bio-Neural computer system with both a Primary and Auxiliary backup. | Probably the most significant thing about the Eagle since her refit is her completely new computer system, a state of the art Dual Core [[ma:Bio-Neural|Bio-Neural]] computer system with both a Primary and Auxiliary backup. | ||
The Eagle is not the largest or indeed most powerful of the ships in the fleet, but it is extremely resilient and flexible in it's role. The Eagle has been redesigned to fill the role of a long range scout vessel, one that the current fleet does not have. | The Eagle is not the largest or indeed most powerful of the ships in the fleet, but it is extremely resilient and flexible in it's role.
