The USS Gallagher was a Starfleet exploratory vessel later refit in 2376 to testbed new technological breakthroughs. Her crew contained a mixture of veteran Starfleet Officers and fresh Academy Graduates throughout her history. A tradition upheld since the Dominion War by her Captain.

Description

The USS Gallagher is a Galaxy Class with an almost unique external design. Whilst she has capabilities similar to her sisters, she has a much larger (And thus more stable) neck section which slants down the dorsal side of her body. This increases her weight but also allows for a much larger internal structure. The Gallagher enjoys a modular internal structure which allows her to be reconfigured at a given shipyard for upcoming missions. Whether they be scientific endeavours, evacuation operations, tactical operations or exploration missions.

History

Commission and The Dominion War

The USS Gallagher was originally one of many Federation Starships constructed hurriedly during the Dominion War. Built to serve in one of several 'Galaxy Wing' fleet arrangements, the Gallagher began her career with minimal scientific facilities and a modular internal structure, due to the need for ships on the front lines. While she was commissioned too late to serve in Operation Return under the command of Benjamin Sisko, the Gallagher served with distinction during the war up until its end in 2375.

Post-War and Exploration

After the Dominion War, Starfleet began to return to its original Ethos of exploration and the Gallagher was one of many ships refit with scientific facilities and enhancements to her modular internal structures, giving her the capacity to serve as a fully fledged exploratory ship. In conjunction with this, she was also bolstered with fresh recruits from both veterans of other starships and newly graduated officers from Starfleet Academy.
