"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. Even now, some thirty years on, she’s still a more than capable explorer.

The first 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 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 Captain T'Prynn, a Vulcan with decades of experience, and her trusted right-hand man, 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.

Commanding Officer Lineage
