October 29, 2427 Amid much fanfare the Federation starship USS Vigilance was rechristened and relaunched from Earth Spacedock under the command of Captain Nathan Hawkins. The Vigilance, a Vivace Class Starship, is being deployed on an exploration mission near Klingon space after a nearly year long repair at San Francisco Yards. The Vigilance had been significantly damaged during the Battle of Vlulyr Tuok when the Federation Starship USS Ark Royal was captured and turned against Federation forces by an unknown assailant. Also amongst the vessels damaged in the Battle was the Starship Enterprise and the USS Galileo Galilei remains missing in action.
The Battle of Vlulyr Tuok had the unfortunate side effect of degrading the Federation's relationship with the Cardassian Union, an incident which has yet to be mended.
We at the Federation News Service wish the crew of the USS Vigilance the best of luck with their upcoming mission.
