U.F.S. Destiny Rising

"'She's built for peace, but she can pack a punch'"- Alexander Marshall, 3009

The UFS Destiny Rising is a 31st century Federation Ascension-class mothership operated by United Federal Fleet. The Destiny Rising is the second ship of her class, and was personally named by Vice Admiral Arthur Rothwell.

The mothership is currently in service at Starbase Terra Novus.

Origin
Development on the Ascension class motherships began in late 3008. Three of these were developed initially. The Desity Rising was constructed at the same time as her sister ships, Ascension and Odyssey. However, the Destiny Rising's launch was delayed due to unforeseen technical issues discovered within the Odyssey.

The Destiny Rising, like all Ascension class motherships, was built with versatility in mind. The ship was built to serve as a command starship making it quite able in battle but also is suited for deep space exploration.

The mothership was also designed to be energy efficient. Its sleek design with its swept back delta wing help to ensure reduced spatial drag while traversing through space. Energy effiecient systems were also installed, such as an improved energy efficient light core.

The Destiny Rising was named by Vice Admiral Arthur Rothwell. He personally chose the name after a science fiction book.
