USS Steadfast-A

The newly comissioned Galaxy class ships of the Federation fleet continue to hold a valued spot among the fleet. Like the older vessels in this class, these new ships offer a diverse range of abilities and strengths in a versatile, if not sometimes unweildy, package.

The recent upgrade in the basic design specs of the class's weapons and shields make the Steadfast, and other new Galaxy class vessels, able to adequately deal with the continued threats to Federation peace. Although the Steadfast is primarily a vessel of exploration and diplomacy, she benefits from these recent upgrades in assisting in battle wings when necessary.

The Steadfast-A was originally comissioned in 2380 for Captain Christopher Hutton, after his crew's completion of a research and reconnaisance mission in the Vellin sector. As the crew left the time-weary Isannah behind, they found the Steadfast aptly capable of exploring space. After a two-and-a-half year mission, the crew was assigned to StarBase New Hope when the saucer section of the Steadfast was completely destroyed in an encounter with the Breen. After a brief tour of duty on New Hope, crew found their way back to the USS Steadfast, now recomissioned as the Steadfast-A -- rebuilt with a new saucer section and an upgraded stardrive section. Hutton was soon re-assigned to the USS Morningstar, while Commander T'Pen took command of the USS Walton. With the eventual de-comissioning of the USS Morningstar, the Steadfast-A was re-activated for her second tour of duty, with Fleet Captain Hutton in the commanding officer position. At the end of 2383, the Steadfast-A was decomissioned and her crew was reassigned to other vessels.
