History
Described as 450 metres long, the Callisto was built with state-of-the-art science facilities as opposed to being a more tactically pronounced starship. With a complement of approximately 350 persons, the crew is compromised of mainly scientists, explorers, and engineers with a much smaller security contingent.
The Luna class of starships was originally conceived in 2369 by Starfleet engineer, Dr. Xin Ra-Havreii. Dr. Ra-Havreii was motivated by the discovery of the Bajoran wormhole that year and so the Luna-class was originally designed to explore planets in the Gamma quadrant. The advent of the Dominion War caused Starfleet to shelve the plans for these exploratory vessels in favor of more heavily-armed starships. With the end of the war, Starfleet re-evaluated the Luna-class plans and decided to proceed with the project. Initially, 12 ships were ordered, and all were completed by 2379. These vessels have been compared to the Constitution-class starships of the previous century, which carried out similar roles.
The Luna-class vessels carry a modest armanent, sufficient to defend themselves in many situations, but not as well armed as the larger Galaxy and Sovereign classes, nor the similarly sized but more combat-oriented Akira-class. As with most starships, Luna-class ships are not designed for atmospheric operations or combat but carry a complement of 8 shuttles of differing specification which are capable of operations in or out of planetary atmospheres. Additionally, as with some other Starfleet ship classes, the Luna-class ships include a "captain's yacht," a larger and more luxurious vessel than typical shuttlecraft for the express use of the vessel's commanding officer.
The USS Callisto was launched as part of the Luna Project. Its goal to revitalize Starfleet as the exploratory branch of the Federation. With the Borg and Dominion conflict, Starfleet needs to return to exploration. Captain Amanda D'Aubigne, a seasoned veteran of the Dominion War, has been charged with taking the Callisto into the previously uncharted Laiordes Stellar Nursery. This relatively young area of space is home to many worlds capable of supporting life according to deep space scans. The Callisto will be far from Starfleet and Home. Her crew will rely on their wits and experience while venturing into the Laiordes Nursery.
