USS Anomaly
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. (If I Only Had a Brain [BG])
