The '''USS ''Discovery'' (NCC-82006)''' is a [[Century Class|''Century'']]-class [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] 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|Zack Marshall-Bennet]] at the start of 2399, the crew was populated by everyone from his previous command (the [[USS Vesta|USS ''Vesta'']]). As a result of this, the crew was one of the most trained and experienced crews in the fleet to lead Starfleet's efforts in exploring the Delta Quadrant. Eventually command fell to Bennet's first officer, [[Lucas Rider]], when it was necessary for Bennet to concentrate on commanding Starfleet's forces assigned to his command. 
 
 
 
==Design & Layout ==
 
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''.
 
 
 
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''
 
*[[Runabouts#Delta-class runabout|''Delta''-class]]
 
**''Woolwich''
 
**''Chatham''
 
*[[Runabouts#Volga-class runabout|''Volga''-class]]
 
**''Whitby''
 
 
 
==History==
 
 
 
===2399===
 
The ''Discovery's'' mission to the Delta Quadrant was postponed due to the sudden insurgence from raids taking place along the Federation-[[Klingon Empire|Klingon]] border (specially in the [[Archanis Sector]].) Led by rebels that were part of the [[Hunters of D'Ghor|House of D'Ghor]], the attacks against Federation assets included colonies, outposts and civilian traffic. It required a strong response from the Federation, as a result elements from the Fourth Fleet were sent in. Being the new flagship of its task force, the ''Discovery'' led Starfleet's efforts in rebuilding the detection grid along the border. This also included the successful assembly of the new Archanis Array.  The ''Discovery'' would prove herself in battle and that the ship, along with its crew, were ready for whatever awaited them in the Delta Quadrant.
 
 
 
===2400===
 
In September 2400 the ''Discovery'' was dispatched along with Task Force 17 Executive Officer, Captain [[bfms_char:47905|Andreus Kohl]], to investigate a strange phase pulse reading emanating from deep within the [[ma:Typhon Expanse|Typhon Expanse]].
 
 
 
November, 2400 the ''Discovery'' rallied at [[Starbase 38]] to lead a squadron of ships from the Fourth Fleet to the Delta Quadrant. Fleet Captain [[bfms_char:34461|Erill'Yun Mek]] and Captain [[bfms_char:47905|Andreus Kohl]] were tasked with establishing a forward operating base at the [[Markonian Outpost]], with the ''Discovery'' assigned to support the Fourth Fleet's investigation of exponential [[Blood Dilithium]] growth in the [[Gradin Belt]].
