The USS Apollo is a Federation Duderstadt-class light cruiser assigned to Arcturus Squadron of Starfleet's Fourth Fleet. Configured as a scout-cruiser, she succeeded a Rhode Island-class scout with the same name when she entered commission in 2401. Captain Sean Gaudain, who also commanded the previous ship to bear the name, assumed command at her launch. The Apollo is presently assigned to reconnaissance and threat assessment duties near the Talvath Cluster.

History

Construction of NCC-90769 began in 2398 with the tentative name Tranquility assigned to it, after the lunar base component of the Apollo 11 mission. As she neared completion, it was decided that she would instead carry on the legacy Apollo, replacing a Rhode Island-class scout in service. Along with most of his command crew, Captain Sean Gaudain transferred from the previous Apollo to the new Apollo in early 2401. As with her predecessor, Apollo was assigned to Arcturus Squadron.

Configuration

The Apollo is a Duderstadt-class light cruiser built in the scout-cruiser configuration. She is intended to travel beyond Federation space to conduct deep space reconnaissance and threat assessment duties. At Captain Gaudain's request, the bridge has been configured similar to old-style Constitution-class heavy cruisers, with a single command chair and duty stations ringing a central command-helm-operations platform.
