== Introduction ==
Since the vessel left Earth hundreds of years previously, Star Fleet has always prided itself on its versatility. When the General War ended, a ship was required to fulfil the roles left empty with the departure of the Sovereign and Galaxy Class. At first, the Star Fleet Corps of Engineers had trouble designing a ship that could function both as a science vessel and a warship – that was, until they found the plans of a proposed design evolution of the Sovereign that had been dismissed by bureaucratic officials over ten years previously. The hull structure was sturdy enough to take the brunt of an attack and survive, and the ship was large enough to keep a crew and supplies aboard for the many months needed to complete a research project in deep-space. Best of all, the design was modular – parts were interchangeable and the ship could function either as a Heavy Cruiser, or a Science Ship. There was just one snag, the parts couldn’t be in place at the same time…
The plans went ahead anyway. As the USS Avenger came out of the fleetyards as a cruiser, the USS Einstein GSC-9000 was launched as a Science Ship. Although not as fast or heavily armed as the Avenger, Einstein performed well as a Science Ship – her advanced sensors allowing her to complete a planetary Science much faster than the ships she had been built to replace. During the Romulan War, several Einstein-Class vessels were planned to be converted into Fearless-Class cruisers but fortunately this was not required and the Einstein continues to function as Star Fleet’s primary Scientific Research vessel.
