History
First Commission (2385-2390)
The first and only five-year mission of the Paso Robles was under the command of Captain Alberto Reyes. Initially, he was assigned to secondary exploration, but after the synth attack, the vessel was retrofitted to deliver personnel and supplies to what remained of Starfleet. The fleet at Utopia Planetia Fleet Yards was destroyed. His ship was used for logistical runs. Starfleet was desperate to give support to their corps worlds.
By 2390, most of the jobs completed by the 'California' class were being shipped to the new Inquiry-class starships, which began entering service by 2390. Captain Alberto Reyes and his crew were offered command of a new Inquiry-class starship. By November 18, 2390, the Paso Robles was officially decommissioned at Avalon Fleet Yards.
Mothballed (2390-2402)
During 2390 through 2401, Starfleet officially decommissioned the Paso Robles. Over the 11 years, Starfleet had scrapped parts of the ship to maintain its vessels. The ship rested at the Avalon Fleet Yards.
The Corps of Engineers would do routine inspections on the mothball fleet. The Paso Robles was left in operating status, but the vessel would be powered down. Even though the ship was mothballed, since Starfleet was down starships, they kept her just barely operational, in case Starfleet needed extra vessels for evacuation purposes.
During the Battle of Frontier’s Day, the Federation Fleet was devastated once again by the Borg. Starfleet needed vessels that were not tied into the Fleet Formation Protocol. Ships like the Paso Robles all of a sudden saw life once again. The Paso Robles was ordered out of mothballs by the Fourth Fleet in 2401. It took the early part of 2402 to get the ship fully operational by Corps of Engineers standards. The Corps of Engineers transferred the Paso Robles in 2402 to Captain Renato Jose Gutierrez-Lopez.
Second Commission (2402-present)
Captain Renato Jose Gutierrez-Lopez took command of the USS Paso Robles in 2402. His first task was to get the ship fully operational and support the Fourth Fleet’s operational mission during the Vaadwaur Supremacy incursion.
