Description
When Bonaventure NCC-005 first entered the Rigel system in 2102, it encountered Orion pirates at one of the Rigellian trading space ports and was crippled and captured. Initially the United Earth Government accused the Rigellians of the attack, but Vulcan diplomats negotiated an understanding of the situation and cooled off the rising tensions. The incident however motivated the United Earth Space Probe Agency to design and build their first military warship, the Pollux class Armed Schooner. This ships purpose was to act as an exploration craft and warship allowing it to survey and explore areas of space that were hazardous with potential hostiles. It was the first twin-engine Warp-nacelle starship in the UESPA and the first warp-capable ship armed with Paticle Beam weapons and fusion torpedoes.
