History

The story of the Yeager began with a previous owner of the name, the USS Yeager, NCC-65674, arguably the most well-known member of the Dominion War-era "Frankenstein Fleet". When that ship was finally stricken from the list in 2403, returned to the Qualor II Mothball yard, and marked for scrap, many of the ship's detractors believed that the saga was over.

Enter Nahamcam, the first Pakled to be offered a post at the Advanced Starship Design Bureau, where she was due to complete her final (and purely theoretical) thesis on starship design. Inspired by Clumpship designs from the 2380s, research into prototype designs from the late 24th century, and somehow gaining unrestricted access to several Starfleet reserve depots, Nahamcam acquired the Yeager and the remains of a wrecked Pathfinder-class Science Vessel. In what her superiors considered a less-than-optimal use of her time, Nahamcam cobbled the parts together in various computer design programs Nahamcam would later excitedly claim that she had created the "Pathyeager-class" because it was "like the Yeager but with a Pathfinder!"

Simulations proved the design worked surprisingly well despite her unique construction, with fewer drawbacks than encountered by the original Yeager. Nahamcam's superiors at the Starfleet Corps of Engineers were both puzzled and impressed by the young woman's ingenuity in not only mating the two designs, but refining it into a workable design. Firepower was comparable to her predecessor with six Phaser Arrays, two Phaser Cannons, and a pair of aft-firing Torpedo Launchers, but she was a lot more agile due to her overpowered engines and more powerful warp core. She would also be fitted with the same Quantum Slipstream Generator found on the Pathfinder, though this was never tested outside of simulations due to the Benamite shortage.

Suitably impressed with her theoretical design, Nahamcam was awarded a full-time position at the ASDB. It was at a function celebrating the new generation of ship designers that Nahamcam proudly announced that the "Pathyeager" had been completed at the Antares Fleet Yards; this alarmed her superiors once they determined that she was not joking, and an investigation revealed that somehow the design had been forwarded up the chain of command as it had been somehow marked a "refit" rather than new construction, and approved by someone at the Advanced Starship Design Bureau. A commission was dispatched to Antares, who confirmed that the ship did indeed exist, and would require more resources to dismantle than it would to launch. Much to Nahamcam's disappointment, the "Path" was dropped from the name at this time.

Dubbed "The Daughter of Frankenstein" by the Shipyard engineers, the Yeager was discreetly launched without fanfare in mid 2404. Despite being suitable for frontline roles on paper, the Yeager found herself relegated to rear-area duties such as hauling cargo due to the embarrassment certain members of the Admiralty felt about such a design slipping through the cracks. Captain Jennifer Braggins was appointed to be her Commanding Officer following her second falling out of favour with Starfleet Command following Operation Ursa Major, and the Yeager's crew would also be from the Philadelphia.

The Yeager's maiden voyage was to patrol the Talarian border, updating star maps and deterring illegal border crossings. During the course of this mission, the Yeager received a faint United Earth distress signal, and discovered the presumed-lost DY-150 Sleeper Ship "SS Lord Franklin", which was in a decaying orbit around a gas giant. Having rescued the passengers and crew, mostly still in hibernation, the Yeager crossed back into Federation territory. It was also during this assignment that the Yeager encountered and exchanged weapons-fire with the Cardassian Keldon-class warship Os'rusa, commanded by the staunchly anti-Federation Gul Hanar, and a mysterious civilian woman believed to be an agent of the Obsidian Order.

Following this mission, the Yeager put in to Starbase 214 for repairs and refit, and to receive her formal commissioning.
