ShipSpotlight-Intrepid

The USS Intrepid, CA-1708 is a Avenger-class heavy cruiser, was assigned to the 1st Fleet. Launched on Stardate 20208.19 under the command of Captain Michael Drake, Intrepid was quickly moved from her originally intended assignment with the 1st Fleet to operate under Star Fleet Intelligence. After several years of covert operations, Intrepid was transferred back to regular fleet operations with the 1st Battle Group and, after a subsequent reorganization, the 1st Fleet. Under the command of Captain Jeremy Phillips, Intrepid saw regular action as part of her assignment to Battle Group Alpha-1 including front line engagement during the Terran Empire/Grath crisis. Disabled during her encounter with the Grath, Intrepid underwent an extensive refit before returning to active duty. With the loss of Space Station Sierra-18 and the Bajoran System, Intrepid was recalled to Earth and transitioned to Independent Operations within the 1st Fleet. This development would also see the assignment of a new crew and the vessels third commanding officer, Captain Gabriel Archer.
