"Sometimes the universe allows for the making of unexpected memories"
    —Philippa Georgiou - Ship's Dedication Quote


The USS Discovery (NCC-92422) is an Odyssey-class heavy explorer and has been assigned to the Fourth Fleet as Task Force 17's flagship since 2401. One of the newest of her class and one of the few constructed in the 25th century, she was launched from Avalon Fleet Yards and named in honor of her predecessor, a Century-class starship lost in the Delta Quadrant during the Blood Dilithium crisis. She was built with the latest technology, more specialized equipment, faster engines, and the best tactical systems in the fleet.

Operating primarily out of the task force's headquarters at Deep Space 17 in the Typhon Frontier, Discovery provides deep space support to Starfleet ships on exploratory missions ranging from within Federation borders to the edge of the galaxy.

Nickname & Linage

The Discovery was named in honor of six previous starships that shared the same name.

Service History

Construction & Launch

During the later days of the ship's construction, it was named the USS Retribution. However, after the destruction of the Century-class predecessor, it was renamed the USS Discovery. Shortly after its rechristening ceremony, the brand new Odyssey-class USS Discovery was launched from Avalon Fleet Yards in 2401 under the command of Captain Dawson. After a shake-down cruise throughout the Avalon system, the ship was assigned to Task Force 17 as its flagship. Its mission was to provide transportation for the Task Force 17 leaders, as well as provide logistical support to ships on deep space operations. She can also be tasked with ferrying ambassadors and flag officers across the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.

Task Force 17's Flagship

After completing her shake-down cruise the Discovery was assigned to Task Force 17 as its new flagship to replace its destroyed predecessor. Following its construction and subsequent assignment to Task Force 17 it was placed under the command of Captain Romaes Anjin. The commander of Task Force 17 at the time of its assignment. After Captain Anjin resigned from the position of commander of Task Force 17 it was placed under the interim command of Captain Samuel Edwards. A few days following Captain Khim Samnang would assume the position of commander of Task Force 17 and would be given command of the Discovery.

Operations

Flagship Operations

Since the Discovery was the flagship of Task Force 17 when it acted in a ceremonial ot transportation need the ship was placed under the command of the commander of Task Force 17.

Starship Operations

Due to its status as being the flagship of Task Force 17 day-to-day starship operations such as operations, engineering, security, medical, and science were primarily overseen by the Discovery’s executive officer Captain Samuel Edwards.

Configuration

The Pier

Similarly to the USS ''Odyssey'', the Discovery has a chevron section along the edge of its hull with its own promenade of bars, restaurants, clubs, cafes, and recreation facilities known as The Pier. Civilian members of the crew normally host these facilities with help from holographic hosts/staff. The Pier can host entertainment facilities for all members of the Discovery.

Club 22

Located along The Pier, Cube 22 was an establishment built during its construction in 2400. The interior design mirrored that of the Ten Forward lounges found on a Ross-class ship. After it was built, it was a preferred place among the junior crewmembers to go and hang out after a shift.

Cornwell Lounge

Located on deck five, the Cornwell Lounge served as the senior officer's lounge and mess. The Cornwell Lounge is built across two levels and is the most spacious facility on the ship. With dozens of seating areas across both levels, with varying degrees of comfort and privacy, the room is a constant hive of activity for anyone and everyone aboard the ship. People come to work in a relaxed, but active environment, or they may come to sit and read while people mill about and conduct their business. Food is obtained from several replicators around the room, while bar snacks and beverages are available at the bar, manned around the clock. The room's most exquisite feature is the large, floor-to-ceiling aquarium tank maintained by the science division which houses some thirty different species of marine life.

  • The Discovery is under the command of Commander, Task Force 17. If they choose to not use the Discovery then Samuel Edwards is the commanding officer.
  • Involvement in the Discovery should follow the Task Force Writing Guidelines.
