USS Epyon

*"Every point of light has lifetimes of stories to tell."* - Rilaas sh'Ukon
The **USS *Epyon* (NCC-97413)** was a *Chimera*-class Scale 5 destroyer launched by Starfleet in 2407. It was refit into a *Manticore*-class in 2410 during the Iconian War.

## Service history

Although the development of the *Chimera*-class occurred at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, a small number of the starships were built in secret at the 40 Eridani A Starfleet Construction Yards. This included the USS *Bad Wolf* and the USS *Epyon*. The *Epyon* was launched first, with the *Bad Wolf* following three days later, and both were assigned to Ktarn Fleet.

Due to Tos' engineering expertise, the *Epyon* was assigned to assist in salvage operations of Starbase 82 in late 2409. The starship was later tasked with the rescue of the USS *Lahan* and the recovery of the USS *Farnsworth*, which exposed a conspiracy orchestrated by the Iconians to take control of the Borg Collective. The *Epyon* was part of the task force sent to end the threat and its crew received commendations for their actions.

After the Iconian War, the *Epyon* was assigned to the 444th Survey Squadron and participated in Operation Golden Clover.
