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

In 2258 an armada of 47 Klingon warbirds were destroyed by a rogue Romulan craft from the future. In response to this loss, the Klingons began a massive ship-building program in the Arcanis system, deep within their frontier.  Concern for this build-up spread throughout the halls of Starfleet Command and Federation Council.  Starfleet Intelligence moved to install an operative in the Arcanis shipyards to monitor and evaluate the new Klingon threat.  As the time for the spy's extraction approached, Command began preparing a small, maneuverable starship, the Ptolmy-class PEGASUS to make the retrieval.  Under the command of Captain Elizabeth Summer, the PEGASUS was to slip past the Klingon Neutral Zone and recover their agent.
