USS Mol'ecurai

*“Hope is the thing with feathers, That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all.”* – Emily Dickinson
The **USS *Mol'ecurai* (NCC-98501)**, named for the capital city of the Romulan Republic, was an *Endeavour*-class scale 7 cruiser in service to Starfleet in the early 25th century. It was constructed from components of the *Odyssey*-class vessels USS *Eagle* and USS *Perseverance* after the Iconian War.

## Service history

Captain R'Mala Sikith was assigned to oversee the vessel's construction and used the opportunity to arrange for a unique collaboration with the Romulan Republic Militia. Through Vice Admiral Sysary, Sikith arranged for Riov Tzenek to assist in redesigning the cruiser's tactical systems. The Type-X phasers were replaced with new Type-X plasma-phasers, which took an abandoned prototype developed by Starfleet to use against the Borg Collective and applied principles from plasma-disruptors used by Romulan starships since the mid-24th century.

Wanting to bolster hope within the Federation and to strengthen relations with the Romulan Republic, President Aennik Okeg asked Starfleet Command to name one of the *Odyssey*-class starships being refit in honor of their Romulan and Reman allies. Already a combination of two decommissioned vessels and without an official name yet selected, the ship being overseen by Captain Sikith was chosen for the honor. It was named the USS *Mol'ecurai* after the Republic's capital city, a name that translated from Rihan as "new hope."

The *Endeavour*-class starship was officially commissioned on Stardate ? and began its maiden voyage to New Romulus to participate in the opening celebration of the Federation embassy there. Captain Sikith was joined by Vice Admiral Sysary, who had championed many of the Caitian's efforts during construction, as the *Mol'ecurai* made numerous stops on its trip between Andoria and New Romulus.

## Technical specifications

### Auxiliary craft

The *Mol'ecurai's* standard auxiliary craft complement was twenty-seven shuttlecraft, two runabouts, and ten workpods. It was also equipped with a berthed *Aquarius*-class corvette, named the USS *Hachae*, meaning "soul" in Rihan. An integrated support craft or captain's yacht was located in the ventral hull. It was named the *Flaih'ha*, meaning "in memoriam," to honor those lost during the war.
