USS Challenger
Odyssey-class • NCC-92421 • Fourth Fleet
Commissioned in January 2401, the Odyssey-class USS Challenger is the flagship for Challenger Heavy Explorer Squadron, better known as Challenger Squadron. Under the command of Captain Tarven Rix, this new Challenger continues the legacy of her illustrious forebearers, most recently a Galaxy-class starship, of peaceful exploration and scientific discovery. Additionally, the Challenger is one of the preeminent diplomatic platforms Starfleet has to offer and is often dispatched to represent the Federation’s interests. For this reason, it has an enlarged diplomatic detachment under the command of Commander Matthais Bentley.
