"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible. "

—Arthur C. Clarke - Ship's Dedication Quote

Boasting the scientific and exploration capabilities of the famed Galaxy-class in a space frame over half the size, the USS Intrepid was a testbed for many new technologies upon her construction in the early 2370’s. Sleek and maneuverable, Intrepid was one of the fastest ships in the fleet upon her launch, and the experimental atmospheric landing capability made the ship an important part of Starfleet’s exploration arm.

The Intrepid was retired in the 2390s and succeeded years later by a Duderstadt-class ship.

Sleek and maneuverable, ''Intrepid'' was one of the fastest ships in the fleet upon her launch, and the experimental atmospheric landing capability made the ship an important part of Starfleet’s exploration arm.
-The first of a new, fast and highly-capable independent research and exploration starship, the ''Intrepid'' was launched from Earth Station McKinley on 12 January 2371, and continued to serve as a testbed for new technologies, including the Emergency Medical Hologram, until late 2372, shortly before the outbreak of hostilities with the Klingons.
-===Mission Objectives===
-A multi-purpose starship well into her third decade of service, the ''Intrepid'' has completed a wide variety of tasks and missions assigned to her over the years. Some of her core duties, commensurate with the [[Intrepid Class|''Intrepid''-class]] as a whole, include:
-* Operating autonomously under the command of the commanding officer, providing full capability to execute Federation defensive, cultural, scientific, and explorative policy in deep space or along border territories.
-* Replacing aging starships in certain frontline, light exploration duties.
-* Providing a platform for extended scientific survey and scouting missions.
-* Providing frontline support during times of war or crisis, such as the [[Century Storm]] and [[Blood Dilithium]] situations, and situations diplomatic in nature.
-* Serving non-critical functions such as transport of personnel and cargo when necessary, extended aid, and short-range patrol.
-=History=
-==24th Century==
-Notable events from ''Intrepid'''s past include;
-*serving in the Federation-Klingon war of the 2370's
-*being assigned to patrol along the Romulan Neutral Zone in 2375
-*serving as part of Battle Group Omega (deployed in sector 1045) to counter the Reman threat in 2379
-*being assigned to the Chiron Colonial Convoy in 2382
-==25th Century==
-Most recently following an extensive refit to key systems, and the installation of a brand new bridge module, command of the ''Intrepid'' fell to a new commanding officer. Now commanded by [[bfms_char:52001|Captain T'Prynn]], a Vulcan with decades of experience, and her trusted right-hand man, [[bfms_char:68737|Commander Giarvar Kauhn]], the young crew of the ''Intrepid'' are seeking a fresh challenge in pastures new after experiencing a tragedy no crew should ever face; the loss of their previous commanding officer. Assigned to the deep space exploration initiative of the [[Fourth Fleet]]’s [[Task Force 17]], and a founding member of [[Prometheus Squadron]], the ''Intrepid'' crew find themselves coming face to face with the mysteries of the [[Typhon Frontier]].
-On Stardate 24011.1, upon the completion of ''Intrepid'''s recent mission, her command team and many of her personnel were drafted for reassignment elsewhere. Captain T'Prynn assumed command of the ''[[USS Venture]]'', whilst Commander Kauhn joined the crew of the ''[[USS Proxima]]''.
-===Commanding Officer Lineage===
-Over the last thirty years, the ''Intrepid'' has been privileged to have five commanding officers overseeing her construction and five subsequent tours of duty.
-*2371 - 2375: Captain Terrance Riley
-*2375 - 2381: Captain Walter Emick
-*2381 - 2386: Captain Talath
-*2386 - 2400: Captain Arthur Koben

+The ''Intrepid'' was retired in the 2390s and succeeded years later by a [[Duderstadt Class|''Duderstadt''-class]] ship.
