History

In 2381, the STV Sparrow is commissioned from the Umbral Shipyards in the Schatten system, with high expectations for its capabilities in patrolling alternate realities. However, during its shakedown cruise in 2382, significant issues arise. The ship's temporal navigational system experiences major glitches, causing concerns about its ability to accurately traverse alternate realities. Additionally, an unusual phase shift in the deflector shield harmonics is discovered, potentially compromising the vessel's defensive capabilities.

As a result, the Sparrow is docked for an extended period of six months in order to address and rectify these issues. Dedicated engineering teams work tirelessly to debug and recalibrate the temporal navigational system while resolving the phase shift anomaly in the deflector shield harmonics. Finally, by the end of 2382, the ship is deemed fit for service and ready to fulfill its mission.

Initially assigned to investigate spatial anomalies for potential temporal signatures, the STV Sparrow plays a vital role in uncovering and understanding the complexities of temporal phenomena. In 2384, when the Gurtl Gate opens, connecting to a parallel dimension inhabited by humans, the Sparrow is reassigned to make contact and establish diplomatic relations with the humans on the other side of the gate.

Then, in 2385, with the operationalization of Janus Station, a hub for inter-dimensional travel and research, the STV Sparrow is once again reassigned. This time, its primary mission is to patrol and safeguard inter-dimensional interests and assets, ensuring the security and stability of the Schatten Star System and Janus Station.
