USS Yinghuo

This Miranda-class Light Cruiser is the ship the players find themselves serving on. It is configured specifically for scientific reserach, but its basic hull, shields, and armament make it a formidable combatant when matched up against anything but a Klingon D7 or a Romulan Bird of Prey.

It is commanded by  who is, along with the admirality, selecting officers and crewman for this voyage.

In 2167 the USS Enterprise encounters the Galactic Barrier. Gary Mitchell and NAME develop godlike powers (TOS: *Where No Man Has Gone Before*).

In 2168 the USS Enterprise successfully navigates the Galactic Barrier with the aid of a Medusan navigator (TOS: *Is There In Truth No Beauty*).

In 2169 the Federation Research council approves resources dedicated to the study of the Galactic Barrier. Delegates from the Vulcan Science Academy are among the fiercest proponents.

The Pandora Project is exposed in 2170. A secretive group within Starfleet Intelligence is revealed to have stationed Espers near the Galactic Barrier to send across in the case of an extreme threat to the Federation. The Espers rebel and destroy three Constitution-class ships, but the USS Enterprise is able to resolve the situation in what would become known as the Pandora Incident (STC: *To Boldly Go*).

The USS Robinson and USS Minos are presumed destroyed in 2170 when a data recorder is recovered containing a record of a fight with a D7 Klingon Battlecruiser. This battle occurred near the Galactic Barrier a few light hours from Delta Vega.
