The USS SS ''Yeager'' is a starship in service as a testbed for new in the Federation Reserve Fleet, having officially been decommissioned and experimental Tactical and Propulsion systemsstruck from the Starfleet registry in the late 2380s. The USS ''Yeager'' is named for Chuck Yeager, the first Human to break the sound barrier in level flight.

===History===

Construction of the ''Yeager'' began in the early 2370s in the prelude to the [[Dominion War]]; with the breakdown of the [[Khitomer Accords]], Star Fleet needed new combat====2373-capable ships, and fast. With shipyards already constructing ships at a increased rate, primary hull construction for the Intrepid-class vessel soon outstripped supply of secondary hulls. As war loomed, the [[Star Fleet Corps of Engineers]] decided to utilise the surplus primary hulls to cobble together a class of ship designed to bolster the fleet quickly. As one of the first members of the "Frankenstein Fleet", the ''Yeager'' was commissioned in 2374 and assigned to [[Deep Space Nine]] as a guard ship.2403====

The Construction of the ''Yeager'' served honorably during began in the warearly 2370s in the prelude to the [[Dominion War]]; with the breakdown of the [[Khitomer Accords]], Star Fleet needed new combat-capable ships, and survived until fast. With shipyards already constructing ships at a increased rate, primary hull construction for the end Intrepid-class vessel soon outstripped supply of hostilitiessecondary hulls. Though As war loomed, the remaining ships [[Star Fleet Corps of similar construction were either cannibalised for parts Engineers]] decided to repair main-line vessels, utilise the SCE kept surplus primary hulls to cobble together a class of ship designed to bolster the Yeager for their own purposesfleet quickly. The As one of the original members of the "Frankenstein Fleet", the ''Yeager'' was used to test several new tactical constructed from the primary hull of an Intrepid-class Explorer and propulsion systems, and was one the scaled-up hull of a Ju'Day class Courier. This design gave the ''Yeager'' substantial forward firepower when combining the first ships to be armed Ju'Day's phaser cannons with the experimental TypeIntrepid's own phaser arrays; the lack of aft-G Phaser in firing phasers was more than compensated for by the inclusion of the Ju'Day's own aft torpedo launchers, bringing the runnumber of aft-up firing launchers to the [[First General War]]four. The unorthodox design did, however, cause problems with warp field stability, and served as a guard ship meshing the Bio-Neural systems of the Intrepid with the Isolinear systems of the Ju'Day made for several outposts during the conflictsome "interesting" quirks that were never truly worked out.

As the 25th century progressedWith a deadline to meet, the ''Yeager'' remained was rushed through testing and acceptance trials to be commissioned in service despite her age2373, assigned to [[Deep Space Nine]] as a guard ship. Her primary hull was replaced with that of The ''Yeager'' served honorably during the war, taking part in several key engagements as an updated designoutrider or scout, and her internal survived until the end of hostilities. Though the remaining ships of similar construction were either cannibalised for parts to repair main-line vessels or scrapped outright and despite its quirky and unpredictable systems overhauled and upgraded , the SCE kept the ''Yeager'' in order commission for their own purposes. The ''Yeager'' was used to continue test several new tactical and propulsion systems, and was one of the first ships to operate be armed with the newest technologiesexperimental Type-G Phaser. As the first When not testing experimental weapons systems, it served as a guard ship equipped with for several key outposts during the new Thrawn-type warp cores2380s, especially as the fleet was reshuffled following the synth attack on Mars. ''Yeager'' was instrumental eventually relegated to rear area duties and all-but forgotten even by the SCE personnel who had kept her operational well beyond her expected service life was over. Officially struck from the register and placed in troubleshooting and calibrating mothballs, with the new technology name reassigned to integrate it with current systems with minimal issues. Following more modern starships, the ''Yeager'' soon found herself crewed by volunteers guarding the Federation Surplus Depot at [[Qualor II]] as the first successful test dawn of the 25th Century approached. ====2403 - Present==== The ''Yeager'' was hastily reactivated, although not recommissioned, in 2403 in order to conduct what was alleged to be an important medical supply run to a beleaguered world in what was once the Romulan Neutral Zone; assigned to Captain [[Quantum Slipstream DriveBraggins, Jennifer|Braggins]] aboard , who had found herself out of favour following the events of the Philadelphia's mission to [[USS SpiritJateran]] , the mission was soon discovered to be a set-up. Not only were the crew made up of the dregs of Starfleet, those officers and crew that no Captain in which she acted as an observer their right mind would want on their ship, illegal weapons had been stored on board, bound for separatist movements on the border. The ship had also been sabotaged so that it would drop out of warp and conveniently be discovered by Starfleet patrols in the area. With the deception discovered, the Yeager was repaired before it could be apprehended and the weapons were instead diverted to a local group of Fenris Rangers where Braggins had contacts. For the next six weeks, the ''Yeager'' operated in the territories along the Romulan and Cardassian borders; escorting convoys, conducting anti-piracy patrols, and responding to emergency situations both large and small. Eventually the worst of the misfit crew were rotated off the ''Yeager'', and the crew readied themselves for more important missions along the border area. These more important missions never materialised, however, and guard the Yeager crew was slowly siphoned away to other assignments while the ship continued to conduct nonessential rear-area duties. =====Theft===== On Stardate 202311.25, the ''Yeager'' was undergoing standard maintenance at Outpost Gamma-7. With the majority of the test sitecrew on leave, the ship was commandeered by Braggins and a handful of crew from both the ''Philadelphia'' and the ''Yeager'' . This was done as part of [[Operation Ursa Major]], and when the next ship outfitted with ''Yeager's'' part of the experimental driveoperation was complete, it was returned to normal duties. ===Last Known Crew Manifest=== {| class="wikitable collapsible uncollapsed" style="width:55%;"!
