UFS Arcadia

Introduction
The U.F.S. Arcadia is a Quantum class Federation starship, registry NCC-A1 (originally Intrepid class, experimental registry NX-A1). Launched in 2378 as a testbed for Quantum Slipstream Drive, she was the first to sport the new "U.F.S." prefix (United Federation Starship), reflecting the UFP's united interests. In 2380 the ship was extensively redesigned as the prototype of the Quantum class fleet.

The motto on the ship's dedication plaque is a quote from Plutarch: "The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be lighted."
