The USS Anomaly is a Hermes-class starship and the central starship of Star Traks: Boldly Gone.

Construction

The USS Anomaly started life as the Hermes-7, an experimental ship designed for use with the prototype anti-singularity drive. As evidenced by the "7" in its name, the Hermes-7 was the seventh attempt to get the anti-singularity drive to work properly. The previous six Hermes vessels all exploded when the drive was activated. Lieutenant Shelly Marsden, who developed the anti-sing drive, was unable to stabilize the system until she took the unorthodox step of funneling the drive energies through a piece of space debris that was discovered by the USS Secondprize over a century earlier. This debris was actually part of an advanced culture's starship and served as the housing for the sphere-encased brains they used to regulate their engine systems. Marsden's use of housing attracted Cabral, who phased through the hull of the Hermes-7 prototype containing the housing and took over control of the ship. Once Captain Reginald Bain was able to intercept the Hermes-7 and befriend Cabral. Cabral elected to remain aboard the ship, which was renamed the USS Anomaly, and Bain took over as commanding officer. (If I Only Had a Brain [BG])

Service

After a few shakedown missions, Starfleet sent the Anomaly to the Andromeda Galaxy as the first vessel from the Federation to ever visit. Almost immediately, the crew ran afoul of the Associates, and the ship was heavily damaged and lost the ability to use the anti-singularity drive when Cabral was taken away by the Associates. (Do You Have Anything To Declare? [BG]) The USS Navigator towed the Anomaly back to the nearest outpost, Gyjik's Galaxy Gateway, where Lieutenant Marsden was able to obtain parts to make repairs.
