Ship's Motto[]
Construction History[]
Keel Laydown[]
The Keel for the USS Glenn was laid in 2254 at Utopia Plantia Shipyards.
Service History[]
Shakedown Cruise[]
After her completion the Glenn went on a five-year mission to test out her new systems and to make sure that her warp drive is working right, and during that it made contact with half a dozen alien species and discovered half a dozen nebulas and uncharted systems.
Federation-Klingon War[]
After war broke out between the Federation and the Klingon Empire in May of 2256, the Glenn and is sister ship, Discovery, were tasked with a top secret mission to develop a new kind of faster-than-light drive utilizing spores from the fungus Prototaxites stellaviatori.
Weeks after the war started, the Glenn was in a spacedock at Earth and was seen from a Starfleet Academy shuttle on its way to USS Malachowski. Cadet Sylvia Tilly compared the brand-new Glenn favorably over the older Malachowski-class frigate.
Soon after, the Glenn was part of a task force defending Corvan II from Klingons. When the Klingons of House Mo'Kai attacked Delta Volanis Science Station, Admiral Kensington dispatched the Glenn to reinforce the Starfleet presence in the system defending the outpost. This had been Mistress J'Ula's plan. Aware of Starfleet having some sort of secret weapon, the Glenn had been lured to the station. Klingon ships pummeled the science vessel's shields and beamed boarding parties over. Captain Underwood requested assistance from the other Starfleet ship in the system. Joining forces, they killed the invading Klingon warriors and helped Lieutenant Straal restart the ship's defenses. J'Ula and a team accidentally liberated the tardigrade Ripper and escaped in a Class C shuttlecraft with Straal's schematics.
Final Days[]
After half a year of testing under the guidance of Justin Straal, the Glenn team managed to make advances far greater then then Lieutenant Paul Stamets on Discovery, making a jump as far as 90 light-years. However, one of their test jumps caused a basidiosac rupture that crippled the Glenn and killed the entire crew. Eventually, a group of Klingon warriors boarded the ship in hopes of acquiring Federation technologies, but they were slain by an aggressive Ripper, loose on the vessel.
The Discovery was dispatched to investigate. A boarding party, including Straal's friend Stamets, was able to salvage logs and assets related to the project, and Captain Gabriel Lorca had the creature transported to Discovery. After this, the Glenn was scuttled with a pair of photon torpedoes. Ripper remained with the Discovery.
