C.S.S. Chesapeake
From BetaWiki
The Chesapeake is a Luna class science vessel commissioned in 240602, although its deployments as of late have been more combat-oriented than its original intention. Its current commanding officer is Commander Samuel Baxter, a Montressorian with more than 30 years of service in the United Confederation Fleet behind him. The vessel now serves as the flagship of Confederation Task Force Unit 77.4.3, a task force which is permanently assigned to the area patrolled by the United Federation of Planet's Second Fleet.

Supplementary Information
Due to its frequent proximity to highly-visible locations, such as the New Stellarton Penal Colony and Starbase Versailles, the Chesapeake and its task force have guested on several occasions in the area.
Notable occasions include the loss of Starbase 400 in 240602, the Krivaldi Invasion of the United Federation of Planets in 240605, and the inspection of Starbase 99: Versailles in 240605.
