U.S.S. Indefatigable

The **USS *Indefatigable* (NCC-92930)** is a *Guardian*-class cruiser in service of Task Force Avalon. A new generation of the double-hull twin nacelle designs was launched in January of 2410 under the Command of Captain Horatio Arthur Wellesley, *Indefatigable* was a newer vessel and as a result spent much of her time on trials thus missing the Federation-Klingon War in the safe vicinity of Utopia Planitia Shipyards. *Indefatigable* officially entered service in 2414, after her official commissioning she spent most of her time assigned in the Beta Quadrant. During the events of the Iconian War she spent most of her time deployed between the Beta Quadrant and the Core worlds of the Federation, upon receiving word of the Iconians attacking Starbase 381 *"Prateorian"* the vessel was rerouted to coordinate in the defense effort. After the war, *Indefatigable* and her Commanding Officer were reassigned to Task Force Avalon in March of 2416. Since then she has been assigned to Task Group Destiny under Rear Admiral T'Molina.
