While a lack of combat ability might not be a concern for most science vessels, the ''Mercury'' finds itself in a unique situation. Starfleet Security and Intelligence have their eye on the unstable, shifting Cardassian government, and believe that the opportunity the ''Mercury'' crew has been presented with allows for the use of the ship’s enhanced sensors to provide constant reports. However, should the balance of power in the Cardassian Union tip, the situation could very quickly turn sour, leaving the ''Mercury'' and her crew in a very dangerous predicament.
 
What new and diverse wonders does the Menthar Corridor hold? Will relations with the Cardassians continue to improve? What threats does the Federation still face? The ''Mercury'' and her crew are certain to find out as they explore the furthest reaches of the Alpha Quadrant.

Template:Mercury-motto

The USS Mercury is an Oracle-class starship currently undergoing repairs after incurring extensive damage during the Gateway Crisis of 2390. Her final commanding officer Captain Aron Kells was assigned to the USS Mercury upon the retirement of her previous COs, Captain Tallis Rhul on stardate 238904.22 and Commander Miles Unum a few weeks later.

The USS Mercury had been assigned to the Menthar Corridor, a region of space between the Cardassian Union, Breen Confederacy and Tholian Assembly, via special arrangement with the Cardassian Detapa Consul. Its primary mission was to explore space poorly known to the Federation and explore the farthest bounds of the Alpha Quadrant. Following the recall of the Mercury to a spacedock facility, the USS Garuda was assigned to continue the original mission of the Mercury in the Menthar Corridor. The majority of the Mercury crew were reassigned to the Garuda, with the notable exception of Captain Kells himself, who resigned and disappeared in a shuttlecraft to parts unknown.

The Oracle-class USS Mercury

As an Oracle-class ship, the USS Mercury is a deep space science ship designed to run missions for long periods of time without returning to a starbase for refuel, resupply, or support if necessary. The lower section of the ship is a sensor module, which contains a wealth of cutting edge sensor technology, as well as enhanced scientific facilities. The trade-off: the Mercury is by no means a battleship, and while she is not so fragile that she can be destroyed by the meekest of targets, she is not suited to prolonged combat or unfavourable odds.
