USS Pallas is a Federation Vesta-class explorer assigned to Arcturus Squadron of Starfleet's Fourth Fleet.

Namesake

There are several figures in Greco-Roman mythology with the name Pallas, the most notable of them being a companion of the Greek goddess Athena named Pallas who Athena accidentally slew and then took up as a name for herself, as Pallas Athena, and the youth Pallas, who was referenced in the Aeneid as a youth whose death spurs Aeneas on to kill Turnus. This vessel's namesake is the former, the goddess Athena, especially through the name of the dwarf planet 2 Pallas in the Sol System. Pallas was also the name of several naval vessels in the British and French navies in the 20th and 21st centuries on Earth.[1]

There have been two previous Federation starships to bear the name Pallas:

  • USS Pallas - NCC-1867 - Miranda-class light cruiser
    • 2280-2345 (Decommissioned)
  • USS Pallas - NCC-49802 - Ambassador-class exploratory cruiser
    • 2345-2397 (Decommissioned)

History

Built at Avalon Fleet Yards, Pallas was launched in 2401.
