"Wherever you go, whatever you do, go forth with strength and honor." - Fleet Admiral PhellTalia Zh'Kor, as quoted on the Stardancer's dedication plaque.
The Stardancer currently runs Fridays at 8:30 PM EST, and is overseen by DGM Apocalypse and DGM Bragi. Logs from this ship can be found under Stardancer Logs, and episode summaries can be found under Stardancer Episode Summary.

HISTORY[]
USS Stardancer (NCC-1987)[]
The first Stardancer to bear the name was a Miranda-class starship launched in the 2270's. This ship was a workhorse of Starfleet for over 50 years, and was finally decommissioned in the 2330's.
USS Stardancer (NCC-91587)[]
The second Stardancer was an Akira-class starship in service in the 2390's. Despite serving faithfully for several years, the ship was destroyed during the Klingon war.
USS Stardancer (NCC-91587-A)[]
The third Stardancer was a Typhoon-class dreadnought launched in the early stages of the Klingon War. In 2409, the Stardancer was part of a task force excursion to Fluidic Space to stop a Borg incursion. During the Iconian War, Stardancer was included in a large push against an Iconian sphere. The Stardancer was among the hundreds of ships lost during this battle.
USS Stardancer (NCC-91587-B)[]
The fourth and current Stardancer is a Rendino class, the second ship of the class and the first to enter active service. Her first mission saw a return to the Large Magellanic Cloud along with a large cadre of third-year cadets. Each of these cadets was a "legacy" with at least one parent or close relative in Starfleet. In addition, the Stardancer was one of the first Federation ships authorized to explore the Black Ocean, a region of space formerly inaccessible due to the Dark's presence.

Special Systems[]
Advanced EWAR and ELINT array - An advanced information warfare suite installed on the Stardancer can confuse enemy systems and provide ample bandwidth for cyber attack to the officers, it is also loaded with a mark VII VICI which is not sentient.
Advanced Engine Injection Manifolds- Variable injection manifolds allow for an additional short burst of impulse power equal to .5c, warning this pulse will overtake existing inertial damping systems and apply a G force equivalent of 4 earth G to all on the ship. It is suggested that burst operations within the ship only be undertaken when the crew is braced.
Coaxial Warp Jump Drive- A technology developed from the Orzaul gate system in the LMC that only works there or to specific points in the milky way where the alliance worlds have built beacons. It allows for up to 10000 LY of instantaneous travel between the gates. If no gates are in range it does not work. Only a few Starfleet vessels have been fitted with this drive system so far. The Rendino utilizes a prototype drive, while the Stardancer has the first production model, improved from lessons learned from the Rendino trials.
Spatial Fold Communication Burst Generator- Tied to the Coaxial Warp Drive technology and based upon the Technology invented by Admiral Elizabeth Razzor and Admiral Jackson Riens during their time on the USS Pilgrim, the Rendino class is capable of leveraging their Coaxial Drive to send a burst of information vast distances. This is one way communication and while it can be sent receiving information this way is not possible. It is meant as a phone home in case there is an issue with the Coaxial Drive.
Advanced Adaptive Temporal Holographic Telescope- uses temporal technology to peer into the distant past and predict present conditions on far off worlds. Updated AHLRT that doesn’t rely entirely on a generative imagination engine instead using temporal probabilities. The Emergent AI Elsie, is not tied to the system.
Crew Amenities[]
- Holodecks: 3 with Full Link and subspace Linking
- In-quarters holoemitters, installed in all Class D quartering and above
- Full gym and swimming pool
- Cetacean operations Lab.
Dizzy Lizzy's
Dizzy Lizzy's is a night club installed in the forward crew lounge compartment. The club is contains a full wrap around bar and dance floor as well as holographic staff. Real alcohol is allowed to be served to officers while not on duty and when the ship is in light duty. Dizzy Lizzy's can be reconfigured into banquet mode for formal events.
