ORIGINS: USS Pegasus Unit Concept and Background: Difference between revisions

In 2258, Starfleet Intelligence began a crash program to install a covert operative with the Klingon Military located in the strategically vital Arcanis system: deep within the Klingon Frontier following events that a armada of 47 Klingon ships were destroyed by a rogue Romulan craft. Concern for this buildup echoed behind closed doors in both the halls of Starfleet Command and the closed doors offices of the Federation Council. For this mission to be carried out it was determined that a small maneuverable starship, a Ptolmy-class vessel would have the ability to get in and out without being seen. The vessel chosen was the USS Pegasus, under the command of Captain Elizabeth Summer.  During the crew's intensive training, the mission was kept under wraps with only high level Federation Officials having any knowledge whatsoever of its objective.
