Having proven themselves in a stellar nursery after losing the California class Rubidoux to an ambush attack by black market arms dealers, the crew of the Rubidoux find themselves aboard a New Orleans class bearing the same name and registry to carry on the namesake.
The USS Rubidoux. She used to be a California class starship until she was hunted down and destroyed outside of a stellar nursery used by black market arms dealers.
