The '''USS ''Endeavour''''' NCC-91502 is an [[Obena Class]] starship assigned to the [[Fourth Fleet]] under the command of [[bfms_char:12418|Captain Matt Rourke]]. In late-2399, ''Endeavour'' was attached to a diplomatic mission to the [[Romulan Neutral Zone|Neutral Zone]] to further Federation interests in the region and develop stronger relations with the [[Romulan Star Empire]] and [[Romulan Republic]].
+
'''The USS ''Zebulon Pike''''' or simply "''Pike''" is a [[Raven Class|''Raven''-class]] light corvette starship attached to [[Task Force 86|Task Force 86.]] The ''Pike'' functions as the task force's intelligence and covert operations ship under the command of Commander [[Bfms char:39696|Ethan Talon]].
 
 
== Design and Layout ==
 
Expected to take point on diplomatic operations in a fraught region of space, ''Endeavour'' has been outfitted to defend herself against the threats of the Neutral Zone and Starfleet's enemies in the region, but more importantly with the facilities to represent the Federation by hosting summits and providing relief to the many stricken refugees.
 
 
 
At Captain Rourke's behest, refits were undertaken to install a Combat Information Centre the like of which was aboard her predecessor, harnessing the greater space and resources of an ''Obena''. This necessitated a larger Strategic Operations staff. Likewise, modifications were made to the Security Department's section to ensure facilities were installed for ''Endeavour's'' [[Hazard Team]].
 
 
 
=== The Safe House ===
 
[[File:Safehouse1.png|thumb|The Safe House]]
 
The main lounge and bar aboard ''Endeavour'', the Safe House is expected to act not just as a leisure space for the crew, but to host gatherings with guests that could include diplomats and dignitaries. As such, it has been designed for comfort and entertainment, with floor-panels of real maple and brass-coloured fixtures to give the establishment a warm, welcoming feel helped by gentle lighting. Seating is a mixture of comfortable booths that can provide a limited privacy or even intimacy, and tables on the main floor that are cleared away when more space is needed.
 
 
 
Staff are a mixture of holograms overseen by several real shift leaders and their manager, whose attire matches the décor to invoke something of the feel of a 1920s speakeasy. This aesthetic is matched by the music from a holographic band on the main stage, though the space is sometimes used for live performances by crewmembers. The Safe House can swing between an atmosphere of a bustling party to a more intimate buzz, but the nature of the Starfleet life and its shift patterns means it always feels like a place to catch up over bar snacks and a drink, or at least a coffee.
 
 
 
==== Auxiliary Craft ====
 
Some of the auxiliary craft from the previous ''Endeavour'' were recovered, and Rourke retained and expanded the naming conventions of before, shuttles and runabouts named after the mythical court of Camelot. Rather than retain the full complement of smallcraft for an ''Obena'', a quartet of fighters have been installed, deployed for ceremonial escort duties as much as patrol and scouting missions.

== History ==
 
The USS ''Endeavour'' was originally commissioned as the ''Tianwen'', one of the last waves of ''Obena''-class ships constructed in the 24th century. As the [[United Federation of Planets]] began to reconsider its isolationist policies after the Coppelius incident of mid-2399, the construction of more ships capable of conducting missions of diplomacy and exploration was ordered. With the ''Obenas'' originally designed in the years after the Dominion War to evoke the prestige of Starfleet's more peaceful eras, a new construction order was logical.
 
 
 
The ''Tianwen'' had an uneven birth. An error by programmers slowed the development of her bio-neural circuitry, a delay that cost the ''Tianwen'' the anticipated choice for commanding officer, as Captain Dorain accepted assignment to Starfleet Science instead. She was considered a choice for First Secretary Sophia Hale's diplomatic expedition to the Neutral Zone, but without a captain or selected crew, the duty remained with Hale's first choice, the [[Manticore Class|''Manticore''-class]] [[USS Endeavour (NCC-87507)|USS ''Endeavour'']].
 
 
 
When ''Endeavour'' was damaged by sabotage at the hands of the Romulan Rebirth Movement and decommissioned, Admiral Alexander Beckett stepped in to secure the ''Tianwen'' for the Neutral Zone operation. At his behest she was renamed ''Endeavour'', with the admiral arguing the continuity sent a message to those who opposed Starfleet's involvement in the region. The surviving crew of the previous ''Endeavour'' were assigned to the new ship, including commanding officer Captain Rourke, and further personnel selected to bolster her ranks.
 
 
 
As of December 2399, ''Endeavour'' has entered the Romulan Neutral Zone to begin relief missions, on occasion in cooperation with the Romulan Star Empire or Romulan Republic, for the refugee worlds that have mostly stood alone for a decade and a half.

The USS Zebulon Pike or simply "Pike" is a Raven-class light corvette starship attached to Task Force 86. The Pike functions as the task force's intelligence and covert operations ship under the command of Commander Ethan Talon.

The Zebulon Pike was originally commissioned as the Aerie Class light surveyor, SS Meadowlark in 2350. The Meadowlark was mothballed at the Trip Tucker Maintenance and Regeneration Base near Mojave, California in the early 2390's and rescued by Commander Talon and his wife Trinity on May 5, 2394. The ship was heavily modified from it's original configuration to include a holodeck for training and mission preparation, and addition of forward and aft torpedo launchers. To aide in the ship's covert mission profile a cloaking device was "borrowed" from the Narlin Empire and it overseen by Sub-commander Audren Swiftblade.
