The USS Pegasus (NCC-53847) was an Oberth-class starship in service to Starfleet in the 24th century.

HistoryEdit

In 2357, the Pegasus was commanded by Captain Erik Pressman. Ensign William T. Riker was assigned to the vessel, on his first assignment out of Starfleet Academy. Shortly after, the Pegasus was ordered to Candelar IV on a mission to to pick up the criminal, Endyk Plure.

The Pegasus was also sent on a mission to capture the pirate vessel, Heaven’s Blade, in disputed territory of the Omistol and the Ven. The Pegasus was captured by an Omistol warship, but they were able to escape after the crew faked a self-destruct sequence.

The Pegasus was then sent on the mission by Admiral Horace Bonner to kill Ensign Riker. (TLE novel: Deny Thy Father)

Within a year, the Pegasus came back to Earth for a refit, where it was secretly chosen as a testbed for an illegal Federation cloaking device. During the test, some crewmembers staged a mutiny against Captain Pressman and were able to take control of the ship. Although Pressman, Riker and several others managed to escape, the remaining crew attempted to deactivate the cloak and the following malfunction caused an explosion. Pressman and the survivors believed that the Pegasus had been destroyed and the whole matter was hushed up. (TNG novel: A Time to Love; TNG episode: "The Pegasus"; WizKids module: Tactics)

In 2370, the wreck of the Pegasus was discovered by the USS Enterprise-D and the cloaking device recovered. (TNG episode: "The Pegasus"; NF short story: "Loose Ends"; TNG - Section 31 novel: Rogue)
