USS Legacy - Welcome to the Abramsverse!

[Amanda Rose]

The USS Legacy sim takes place in the Abramsverse alternate reality of Star Trek. Legacy officially launched on July 4, 2261 and is the second Constitution class starship to go on a five year deep space mission. The USS Enterprise, the first, launched the previous year. At this time, Starfleet is still in rebuilding mode as Nero destroyed much of the fleet at Vulcan in 2258 and Khan killed many of the upper echelon of Starfleet at the beginning of the movie, "Into the Darkness." As a result, many younger officers are now being placed in positions of power and reserves and injured veterans are being called out retirement and the academy to staff the ships. The crew of Legacy is no exception to this current state of affairs, Captained by the relatively young Cynthia Lynette Jackson and her First Officer, Phil Wilson who was brought out of teaching at the academy.

The Legacy, itself, reflects the state of Starfleet. Legacy is built from the remnants of ships that escaped the black hole at Vulcan. Its sister ship, Vulcan is in production. Both were built to honor those that had fallen and their enduring legacy to Starfleet's mission of exploration, peace and discovery.
