USS Bayern (NCC-101003)

"Art without Engineering is dreaming. Engineering without Art is Calculating." ~ from the ship's dedication plaque

The USS Bayern is a 25th Century Reliant class starship operated by Starfleet, and named for the state of Bavaria (Bayern in German) in Germany on Earth. The Bayern is currently commanded by Captain Lot'ar Moket.

History
The USS Bayern launched in 2406, and served as an exploratory vessel for 4 years. As the Starfleet Corps of Engineers adopted the Reliant Class as it's preferred ship, based on it's multi-mission capabilities, several Reliant Class ships were transferred to the SCE, including the Bayern.

In 2409, Captain Lot'ar Moket, a SCE instructional commanding officer, assumed command of the Bayern, and immediately commissioned it as a training vessel, assigned to Cadet Training Squadron 49, known as Yellow Squad.

The Bayern maintains a skeleton crew of commissioned Starfleet Officers for command staff positions and department oversight duties. All other positions aboard the ship are held by SCE trainees, as part of their field instruction duties within Yellow Squad.

The Bayern is currently on a training cruise in the Bajoran sector, offering SCE assistance as needed to support Bajor and Starfleet in the region.
