The USS Moro was a Wakizashi-class Destroyer in active service to Starfleet in the late 24th century.

Vanguard Command[]

The USS Moro was launched on 2384 from Starbase Sierra-Foxtrot 5 and commissioned on 2385 as part of the Vanguard Fleet, the mobile arm of Vanguard Command.

Ship features and capabilities[]

Compared to the Luna-class Heavy Cruiser, the USS Moro's corridors were narrower and her smaller crew more thinly spread out onboard. However, space economy designs were incorporated into its modification and refit in order for it to be equipped with as many facilities as possible, while still providing most of the typical living, recreational and leisure amenities enjoyed on typical Starfleet vessels.

The USS Moro was intended as a testbed for a combination of onboard technologies. It was also intended to follow on the heels of the legendary USS Defiant as a small ship that packs a lot of power, and the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E) as a ship whose exceptional crew pushes its capabilities to the limit.

Defensive capabilities[]

Capability	Detail	Effect
Transporter-welded space frame	Duranium/tritanium alloy	Can withstand extreme combat and propulsion stresses.
Enhanced and redundant structural integrity fields	Maintain the integrity and shape of hulls and bulkheads	Exponentially increased the ship's ability against the extreme stresses caused by warp fields, weapons, and other motion.
Ablative hull armor	Three layers	Rapidly dissipates energy impacts from directed energy weapon fire.
multi-phasic shielding	Regenerative, redundant, and reinforced	Protects from subspace radiation and the dangerous energy emissions generated by stars.
Unimatrix shielding	Regenerative, redundant, and reinforced	Makes the ship's hull capable of withstanding extremes of temperature and pressure.
Microdiffracted carbon hull coating	Coating absorbs all visible radiation that fall upon the ship's hull	Makes the ship as black as the space it moved through.
Sensor stealth system	Custom-designed warp coil insulators reduced its energy signature almost to nil. As long as radio silence was maintained, the ship could cruise unnoticed through space.	Masked the ship's warp signature and helped avoid detection during covert operations.
Advanced holographic hull emitters	Distributed in the ship's outer hull	Give the ship the ability to alter its appearance by disguising itself as another object, such as an asteroid.

Computer capabilities[]

Capability	Detail	Effect
More powerful and additional fusion reactors	2 fusion reactors 2 microfusion reactors	Increase power provided to the ship's onboard systems Ensure consistent onboard operational capabilities.
More powerful and advanced computer cores	2 computer cores 1 mini-computer core Bio-neural circuitry 40 bio-neural gel-packs	Increased processing power and provided redundancy in case one of the cores was damaged or destroyed. Could process information more efficiently, and therefore speed up computer response time.
Full Long-term Holographic Program Package	Holo-emitters on all ship areas 1 Command & Navigation Hologram 1 Engineering Hologram 1 Security & Tactical Hologram 1 Medical Hologram	Full-fledged starship officers. Intended for situations where a holo-crew would be more beneficial than a humanoid.

Propulsion capabilities[]

Capability	Detail	Effect
Enhanced impulse engines	Main and saucer impulse drives With hyper-impulse and combat-impulse capacity	Highest sub-light speed at 0.95c. Can attain faster-than-light impulse velocities of Warp 1.2. Increased sub-light maneuverability.

Rapid Reaction Force[]

After its completion, the USS Moro was assigned to the Rapid Reaction Force of Vanguard Command. It became the alternate mission specialist to Task Force Rogue and the USS Victor.

If the mission did not require a small battle group like Task Force Rogue, or an intimidating, heavy hitting starship like the USS Victor, but a starship that was less conspicuous and just as powerful - if not more powerful, the USS Moro was the first choice of Vanguard Command.

The USS Moro was placed under the command of Captain Hakeem Majors, an extremely talented and impressive Starfleet officer whose daring, smarts and brilliance in command reminded others of some of the most famous captains ever to serve the Federation.

The ship, its captain and its crew had shown time and again of their uncanny ability to take on the most challenging missions assigned to them, and overcome it, drawing strong comparisons with the original Enterprise and its captain, and the Enterprise-D and E and its captain. Due to the special nature of its role, the USS Moro and its crew had Starbase Sierra-Foxtrot 5 as their home port and headquarters.

The USS Moro had as permanent escort the equally modified Nova-class Tactical Frigate USS Eclipse, the former command of Captain Majors. Both ships have travelled together to as far as the interstellar space around the territory of the Coalition of Delta Quadrant Races in the Delta Quadrant, launching from Station DSD1 or its sub-stations, to the star systems around the Alliance of Gamma Quadrant Planets in the Gamma Quadrant, launching from Station DSG1 or its sub-stations, facing off with numerically superior hostile Delta Quadrant and Gamma Quadrant forces, the Breen Confederacy, the Romulan Star Empire, the Tzenkethi, and others.

Moro & Eclipse — *The USS Moro and the USS Eclipse*

The USS Moro and the USS Eclipse were the most frequent starships to deploy to the Gamma Quadrant on special missions in support of Task Force Perseverance, Task Force Dauntless, and Abraxis Command. On half of those occasions, they were joined by the refitted Korolev-class Heavy Cruiser USS Rob Roy, with Captain Majors in operational command over the special squadron.

On two occasions, the USS Moro, the USS Eclipse, and the USS Rob Roy escorted the flagship of Task Force Perseverance, the Vesta-class Command Cruiser USS Perseverance on precarious missions, while the rest of the task force was split into two other groups conducting other missions.

When military threats would arise within the frontier AOR of Vanguard Command in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, the USS Moro and the USS Eclipse would team up with two Diligent-class Tactical Frigates of the RRF, the USS Jebe and the USS Noyan, as a special tactical flotilla tasked to conduct flanking or "behind enemy lines" operations in coordination with other mission or battle groups.

During very critical situations where the fleet's task forces were needed to be near their respective headquarters and within their respective AORs, the USS Moro and the three other RRF starships of the special tactical flotilla would join the flagship, the Invincible-class Fleet Carrier-Command Battleship USS Invincible, and its companion ships, Task Force Resilient and Task Force Rogue to form a temporary 23-ship battle group to take on missions of galactic importance.

In these missions, Fleet Admiral Maximus Hunter would have strategic command, while Admiral Jean-Luc Picard, Rear Admiral James T. Kirk and Captain Hakeem Majors would have tactical command over their respective units.
