USS Discovery (NCC-71021)

"This is more than a ship, it's our home, it's kept us together, it's apart of our family."

Captain Kathleen Jemison, 2375

The USS Discovery (NCC-71021) was a 24th century Federation starship operated by Starfleet. The vessel became famous after completing a seven year (2370-2377) mission in the Gamma Quadrant, the first successful exploration of that quadrant by the Federation. Discovery was destroyed during the Battle of Altamid IV in 2378.
