USS Fearless
- ""It is not about being fearless, it is about acting in spite of fear""
- —Veronica Roth - Ship's Dedication Quote
The USS Fearless, is an Excelsior-class heavy cruiser and one of the few remaining still in use. Commanded by Captain Edmond Jermaine Langston, this iconic Excelsior-class, refitted with the Federation’s modern technology, fearlessly continues to be an active presence in fleet operations, primarily in the role of support operations: customs inspection, patrol duties, ambassadorial and flag officer transport, and humanitarian aid; however, updates to weapons systems have allowed the class to retain its function as heavy cruiser allowing the Fearless to function independently for pirate interdiction and other tactical operations.
The crew is predominantly composed of recent academy graduates and recently enlisted personnel in technical training. The senior staff, handpicked by Captain Langston for their knowledge, skill, and mentoring qualities, are seasoned professionals and experienced instructors; many of whom are adjunct instructors.
Design and Layout
The Fearless is a versatile “workhorse,” capable of almost any mission within Federation space due to ample space which can be easily converted for mission-specific objectives.
