The USS Eagle takes its name from a noble bird of prey, an emblem of the old United States of America . This bird represented the strength and majesty of a people who admired strength and courage.. From the early days of Earth many peoples have looked to the Eagle with a spiritual admiration.. The Eagle is not the largest or indeed most powerful of the ships in the fleet, but is extremely resilient and flexible in it's role.
The USS Eagle NCC-74659 has only had one Captain since her launch.. 2375. When she was launched the Eagle was plagued by a reacquiring computer system problem which almost saw her being withdrawn from service completely, but the arrival of the Dominion war meant that much of the ship building was geared to war vessels and anything else that could be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. 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 has spent several months undergoing an almost total refit to bring the Eagle up to and beyond it's Intrepid Class, 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, crew quarters are slightly larger and more luxurious than other intrepid crew quarters.
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 Computers, A Primary and Auxiliary..
The Eagle has been designed to fill the role of a long range scout vessel, one that the current fleet does not have, with the addition of the pulse fire quantum torpedoes it gives the Eagle the ability to open with a devastating volley of firepower and the chance to get away and fight another day, this style of defence/attack requires a certain type of Captain..
Captain Taboo is a dynamic unpredictable officer who has throughout his career demonstrated a flair for getting out of trouble as fast as he got into it.. When asked why he joined Starfleet he said simply, to "find his place" and "to make a difference..." His Command and Leadership style has been questioned by many of starfleets senior officers expressing concerns of loyalty and suitability. Captain Taboo has served on many ships in the fleet, the Kodiak, Steadfast, Independence, Resolution and at the Embassy on Duronis II and finally the USS Constitution-B. As a Science Officer, working his way up though the ranks the hard way he was shocked to be offered the chance to be the First Officer at the Embassy on Duronis II, from that point on he knew his goal was to some day command his own ship. With a background in Intelligence gathering his skills have made him a valuable member of the fleet taking advantage of his expert reading skills in in both Empathy and Telepathy. Taboo's loyalty to his Ship, Crew, Betazed and the Nature of the Universe is unquestionable.. Perhaps together, the Eagle and Captain Taboo can at last make a difference.
The Eagle carries 2 Type 9 and 2 type 11 Shuttles and a Captains Yacht.
