**USS *Virginia* (NCC-61835-A)**, a double hull, triple nacelle vessel belonging to the modified and heavily armed *Galaxy-X* class, currently serves as Flagship to the 49th fleet. With expansive sensor systems and high capacity phaser coils, *Virginia* embodies all that Starfleet represents. Under command of Captain, later Rear Admiral and late still Vice Admiral, Stephen Adams, *Virginia* continues to serve as a principle front-line asset for Starfleet, long after her sisters have been replaced by newer *Ross* and *Andromeda* Class starships.
