USS Triumph
- "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
- —Edmund Burke
Part of the first wave of Inquiry-class starships, the USS Triumph has been commanded by Lionel Jericho since her commissioning in 2390. Since then, the Triumph has taken part in Starfleet’s most significant actions of the decade, from Operation: Gatecrasher to border defence against Breen and renegade Cardassian forces, to the chaotic fall of the Romulan Star Empire in 2400. With one of the most decorated crews of the period, the Triumph now serves on the dangerous Beta Quadrant frontiers, confronting disparate Romulan factions, opportunistic pirate forces, and the machinations of the House of Mo’Kai.
With Fleet Captain Jericho leading Endeavour Squadron, the Triumph must oversee security in a region that needs a deft and diplomatic touch as often as tactical intervention. But when it comes to the latter, the Triumph’s reputation is clear: they are always ready.
Design and Layout
Auxiliary Craft
Type 12 Shuttles
To preserve space for the full fighter squadron, the Triumph carries a reduced shuttle complement of only six Type-12 shuttlecraft.
New Atlantic-class Runabouts
The Triumph's two New Atlantic-class runabouts have dedicated permanent missions: one provides an operational platform for the ship and squadron's Starfleet Corps of Engineering Team, while the other acts as a field base for the squadron's counter-insurgency unit. The latter is nominally the favoured craft if larger away missions require use of a runabout.
Valkyrie-class Starfighters
The Triumph is one of the few Inquiry-class to keep a large unit of starfighters permanently aboard, with a full squadron of Valkyrie-class fighters embarked.
