U.S.S. Pegasus Unit Concept and Background
Updated SD 2262.036


In the Beginning

In 2258, Starfleet Operations working in cooperation with Starfleet Intelligence began a crash course to install a Covert Operative inside Klingon Military Forces located in the 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. Thus begin intensive training, the mission was kept under wraps with only high level Federation Officials having any knowledge whatsoever.


Return?

Four years after forty-seven Klingon warships were destroyed by a rogue Romulan vessel from the future, Starfleet decided to retrieve their Broken Arrow: an important agent with whom they had lost contact. Captain Summer, the only one who would have direct knowledge of the intelligence operative was assigned lead the retrieval operation. However, during the mission things began to go horribly wrong. The undercover intelligence operative on Arcanis had defected to the Klingon Military. PEGASUS was walking into an ambush.

Left for Dead

Several unconfirmed reports have circulated that the USS PEGASUS was not destroyed as originally reported by the Klingons. In fact, the vessel was seen on several occasions scouting key military production facilities while tracking down the agent responsible for the ambush at Arcanis: an attack resulting in a high number of fatalities including that of Captain Summer. Under the Command of her Executive Officer, Commander Steven E. Stone, the PEGASUS continues her mission.

Starfleet quietly decides to upgrade the status of the PEGASUS from lost to missing. Outposts along the Neutral Zone are alerted to assist the PEGASUS should she manage to cross the border to safety. In addition, Starfleet Intelligence hopes that the PEGASUS crew might pick up where the traitor left off when he defected to Klingon military. There is even hope that the ship may hunt the traitor down, arrest him, and return home safely.
