“The trident of Neptune is the sceptre of the world”
The USS Neptune (NCC-83722) is a Vesta class Starship and considered top of the line when it comes to capabilities that it can preform. The Neptune is an explorer meant to be out for months if not longer sustaining long range operations. It is commanded by Captain Michael Ryder, who took over the ship after his time on the USS Tesla.
In most cases a Capital ship means the crew is the best of the best with the Neptune that can be questioned. The crew though very skilled at times clash and with the Captain’s steamy love triangle there is always drama somewhere. The Neptune has been tested from the moment the crew stepped on it. The Neptune being a multi-purpose vessel helps with the flexibility of the Neptune. The Vesta class boast some of the best abilities, but even unknown threats can play a factor.
The Neptune also has an enemy that will do anything to stop the crew from its mission. Michelle Oliver with her accomplices and immense organization is a threat that looms over the Neptune. Oliver has plans and if those plans are successful it will be the end of the Neptune. Oliver will stop at nothing to destroy the Neptune.
After the destruction of Oliver the Neptune had a shakeup and became the flagship of the Neptune Advance Exploration Division, though the ship was still commanded by Michael it was now the home of the Division Commander.
