The USS Sojourner is a Pathfinder-class starship built in 2400 as a modernized and specialized version of the Intrepid-class light explorer, intended to handle scientific and exploration missions far from Federation space.
Produced at the Zeti Reticuli Shipyards, the Sojourner is the third of her class and features the latest in Starfleet technology and systems from the ground up. Assigned to Task Force 47 to take part in the exploration in the Thomar Expanse, she is well suited to provide a long-range platform for surveying and engaging in scientific research within the dangerous region.

The USS Sojourner, like the rest of the Pathfinder-class starships has the potential to become a specialized vessels with enhanced/specialized scientific facilities. Due to the new nature of the class though she has been fitted with the standard complement of facilities designed for a ship with a multi-mission role. As her missions change and evolve her Captain and the fleet may determine that the more specialized facilities may be needed.
In general the vessels main facilities are remarkably similar to those of the intrepid class in both design and layout. Many of the features and primary spaces such and the bridge and engineering could easily be mistaken for those of the intrepid but for the state of the art equipment that is found through of the ship.

Operation History
The USS Sojourner has undertaken the following missions since its commission in 2400:
- Under the command of Commander Kirin Tarken - October 2400 - Present
- Sojourner Bonus Stories: A place to dive into the characters past not linked to any of the main missions.
- Mission 0 – An Unexpected Boon: The crew of the USS Daradax receive some unexpected new orders on their return to Deep Space 9 after completing a supply run to a nearby Bajoran colony which will push each of them to their limit. They will each be expected to perform above and beyond anything they had previously expected.
- Mission 1 - Do not go gentle into that good night (Blood Dilithium Campaign): Following the appearance of the massive subspace rift in the Gradin Belt of the Delta Quadrant causing the formation of red dilithium deposits in its wake ships of the Fourth Fleet have been assigned to provide assistance to the privateers, merchants and traders pour through the Barzan wormhole. The USS Sojourner has been dispatched along with other ships from the Fourth Fleet to assist those in need and map the new deposits. After several weeks of mapping new dilithium deposits and providing aid to several ships and mining operations, the crew of the USS Sojourner encountered families fleeing a mining colony in a binary pulsar system that the Devore Imperium took over and forced the miners to work on under threat of death. Upon arrival in the system, the crew discover that something is not right and soon find themselves in a desperate struggle for their lives.
- Mission 2 – Alone on the Dagger’s Edge (Lost Fleet FA): As the 4th Fleet scrambles to meet the threat caused by the reappearance of the lost dominion fleet while Starfleet Command fails to act the USS Sojourner is assigned to penetrate deep into the Deneb Sector and put its advanced sensor suite to use and act as the eyes and ears of the fleet.
