"I'm inspired by how dragonflies are both tough and fragile, fierce and mild."

—Cindy Crosby -Ship's dedication quote

Summary

The USS Dragonfly symbolizes change, transformation, and adaptability in almost every part of the world. The Dragonfly, commissioned in early 2390 and was launched on December 15, 2390 from Beta Antares Fleet Yards. She was sent to the furthest regions of Federation space. Her mission: to assist in the rebuilding of war-torn systems and societies. Pushing further into the unknown, the Dragonfly represented a return to Starfleet’s golden age of exploration and diplomacy.

In 2400, the Dragonfly was reassigned to the Fourth Fleet’s Diplomatic Operations. Recently upgraded, the Dragonfly is a vessel to be seen while travelling Federation borders, visiting her allies, and doing the work necessary to rebuild. Dragonfly continues her original mission parameters to further the ideals of the Federation through diplomatic and humanitarian efforts.

On 9.15.2401 she was reassigned to Task Force 72 under the command of Captain Wren Walton and becomes part of the Dragonfly Emissary Division.

It is located on Deck 1. The Main Bridge directly supervises all primary mission operations and coordinates all departmental activities. The bridge is a modular unit with the ''Dragonfly'' currently utilizing the standard ''Sovereign''-class layout. Due to the nature of the business conducted on the bridge, access is limited to authorized personnel and those assigned to bridge duty.

-Managing a ship as large as the Dragonfly can be difficult. To facilitate this ease of administration, the Command Officers have a separate office in which to do their work. This area is directly off of the main bridge. The Ready Room, as it's called, can also be reached by turbolifts, for those visitors who don’t have clearance to enter the bridge.
-Captain Walton had decorated the room with pictures of the officer's she's worked with over the years, and models of the ships she's worked on.  Walton has a model of her former command, [[USS Mackenzie|The USS Mackenzie]], and one that represents her current command, the Dragonfly.

-The Sunspot is located on deck 10, which is set on the forward edge of the primary hull. It has a very relaxed and congenial air about it; The Lounge is the only place on the ship where rank means nothing - "sir" need not be uttered when a person of lower rank addresses an officer, and everyone is on an equal footing. Opinions can be voiced in complete safety. This lounge is the social center of the ship.
