USS Steadfast-A
The newly comissioned Galaxy Class ships of the Federation fleet continue to hold a valued spot among the fleet. Like the older vessels in this class, these new ships offer a diverse range of abilities and strengths in a versatile, if not sometimes unweildy, package.
The recent upgrade in the basic design specs of the class's weapons and shields make the Steadfast-A, and other new Galaxy class vessels, able to adequately deal with the continued threats to Federation peace. Although the Steadfast-A is primarily a vessel of exploration and diplomacy, she benefits from these recent upgrades in assisting in battle wings when necessary.
The history of the Steadfast-A obviously is the continuing story of the previous USS Steadfast. In the end, the original Steadfast lost its entire saucer section in a battle with the Breen. Her stardrive section was repaired, modified, and attached to a new saucer section to make the Steadfast-A.
During this time, Fleet Captain Hutton and the crew were reassigned to the USS Morningstar. The Morningstar encountered a strange alien vessel in the Sethian Sea. However, after a short-lived conflict, the ship disappeared without a trace. The away team to the Mandellion Beta station was also unable to uncover any significant details as to the identity of the mysterious raiders.
The Morningstar was then ordered back to StarBase 118. For as yet unknown reasons, Starfleet Command ordered the de-commissioning of the USS Morningstar, the re-assignment of her crew, and Fleet Captain Hutton was given command of the newly rebuilt and re-commissioned USS Steadfast-A. Fleet Captain Hutton has travelled to Starfleet Command for more information and new orders. In the meantime, a skeleton crew aboard the Steadfast-A, docked at Starbase 118, works to get her back into full form.
