The '''USS ''Discovery''''' (NCC-82006) is a [[Century Class|''Century'']]-class starship and became the flagship for the [[Fourth Fleet|Fourth Fleet's]] [[Task Force 17]] in 2399. Built specifically to explore the Delta Quadrant, the builders at the Devron Fleet Yards (her place of construction) ensured the ship was outfitted with the latest technology and more specialised equipment and essentials for her mission of deep space exploration. Unlike the standard configuration for ''Century''-class ships, ''Discovery'' is equipped with faster engines and the best tactical systems in the fleet. As well as this, a majority of her storage facilities and cargo bays were jam-packed with extra supplies, fuel and equipment due to the need for the ship to be able to fulfil her long-term mission requirements. Launched under the command of Captain [[bfms_char:29961|Captain Zack Marshall-Bennet]], the crew was populated by everyone from his previous command (the [[USS Vesta|USS ''Vesta'']]). As a result of this, the crew is one of the most trained and experienced crews in the fleet to lead Starfleet's efforts in exploring the Delta Quadrant.

The '''USS ''Discovery'' (NCC-92422)''' is an ''Odyssey''-class [[Federation]] starship and the Fourth Fleet's [[Task Force 17]] flagship since 2401. One of the newest of her class and one of the few constructed in the 25th century, she was launched from [[Avalon Fleet Yards]] and named in honour of her predecessor, a ''Century''-class starship lost in the [[Delta Quadrant]] during the [[Blood Dilithium]] crisis.


== Design & Layout ==
Operating primarily out of the task force's headquarters at [[Deep Space 17]] in the [[Typhon Frontier]], ''Discovery'' provides deep space support to [[Starfleet]] ships on exploratory missions ranging far from the Federation border.
Like all ''Century''-class ships, the ''Discovery'' is equipped with sophisticated computer technology allowing for a majority of the ship to maintain itself while the crew focus on their mission at hand. Her design features are heavily relied upon a mixture of those found on the [[Sovereign Class|''Sovereign-c''lass]], the [[Intrepid Class|''Intrepid''-class]] and [[Galaxy Class|''Galaxy''-class]]. This was one thing that impressed Captain Bennet the most when he took command of the ship. The bridge layout, for example, was similar to the ''Galaxy'' but showed similar design themes taking from the ''Sovereign''.  
===In Play===
*As the flagship for Task Force 17, ''Discovery'' is often available to provide logistical support to ships on deep space operations. She can offer smaller vessels resupplies, repairs, medical aid, or can conveniently take samples, guests, or other plot curiosities off the hands of a crew so they can get back to deep space.


One of the unique labs built specifically for ''Discovery'' was a larger astrometrics lab. This down to the fact that Captain Bennet noted from the records of the USS ''Voyager'' how much they relied upon their own lab during the last few years of their journey. As such he wanted something similar.

Being the flagship of the task force, the ''Discovery'' is equipped with the latest in hyper-subspace communication technology too. When in Federation space, the ship is able to use its advanced holographic technology to bring others in, especially other commanding officers, to have a real life face-to-face meeting (if they have holographic communication devices on their ships) to speak with Captain Bennet. Once in the Delta Quadrant, it will be down to ''Discovery''<nowiki/>'s powerful deflector dish to bounce this signal off an artificial quantum singularity to remain in touch with the other ships in Task Force 17.
 
=== Support Craft ===
Lastly, the ''Discovery''<nowiki/>'s shuttlecraft compliment was reduced in favour of it having more runabouts. Instead of the usual eighteen, this was taken down to nine. The extra space was given to three more mission specific runabouts. Along with the captain's yacht the ''Discovery'' was launched with the following types of runabouts, all of them taking their namesake on places or peoples related to the HMS ''Discovery'' (from 1774):
 
* [[Runabouts#Arrow-class runabout|''Arrow''-class]]
** ''Cook''
** ''Clerke''
** ''King''

The USS Discovery (NCC-92422) is an Odyssey-class Federation starship and the Fourth Fleet's Task Force 17 flagship since 2401. One of the newest of her class and one of the few constructed in the 25th century, she was launched from Avalon Fleet Yards and named in honour of her predecessor, a Century-class starship lost in the Delta Quadrant during the Blood Dilithium crisis.

Operating primarily out of the task force's headquarters at Deep Space 17 in the Typhon Frontier, Discovery provides deep space support to Starfleet ships on exploratory missions ranging far from the Federation border.

  • As the flagship for Task Force 17, Discovery is often available to provide logistical support to ships on deep space operations. She can offer smaller vessels resupplies, repairs, medical aid, or can conveniently take samples, guests, or other plot curiosities off the hands of a crew so they can get back to deep space.
