MFS Darknight NCC-56501

History of MFS Dark Night NCC-56501 The darknight was built at the fleet yard at San Francisco, Earth. Very shortly after the commissioning of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A (Constitution class, launched in 2286 under the command of James T. Kirk) the ship she was called upon to patrol on the Federation/Klingon border. For almost 7 years the ship served the Federation until she was deemed excess to the fleet and placed in "the mothball fleet" (some time after the Khitomer Accords in 2293). She was more or less left there for almost 72 years (2365).

Before the forged orders reached higher headquarters, Maqui crews were on those ships with new dilithium crystals and the ships were long gone. The following is a list of ship classes “liberated’:

• 1 Federation Class Dreadnought
  
• 2 Star league Class Dreadnoughts
  
• 4 Enterprise Class Heavy Cruisers
  

An intercepted Federation communication noted that several Depots had reported a fleet maintenance/quality control team had visited these depots. All types of equipment and replacement systems were subsequently reported missing, to include the gel pack type of systems used on the USS Voyager NCC-74656. There was no real explanation for the loss. More data will follow to expand ship database.

• Footnote:
• In the book, Star Trek Dreadnought, by Diane Carey, the Dreadnought Class ship was built under the direction of Vice Admiral Rittenhouse to accomplish a military coup of the Federation. However the Star Empire MKC 2331 was commandeered prior to its maiden voyage. Due to the efforts of the commandeering crew and the Enterprise, ADM Rittenhouse was stopped before such a coup could take place. The Dreadnought Class, Star Empire, was immediately consigned to oblivion. It is this ship that we claim as the Maqui Ship, Dark Night. Tom Retrieved from "http://wiki.maquis.com/w/User_talk:Tking"
