Premise

During the Dominion War, Starfleet was forced to set aside exploratory missions and ships in favor of combat missions and warships for obvious reasons. Starships left drydock with spaceframes only partly filled and without scientific facilities aboard and outfitted solely as warships of the Federation. However, with the end of the war, Starfleet began to return to its exploratory roots; scientific facilities were installed aboard ships lacking them that had survived the war and new starships were designed and built primarily to explore. Among these was the Luna-class starship; Titan is one of the first of these new exploratory vessels and placed under the command of Captain Riker, with the initial mission of dealing with unrest in and near the Romulan Star Empire.
