History: Among the last Avenger-class destroyers in Starfleet, the Sojourner has been in service since the days of Kirk. Built as a fast destroyer, her agility and acceleration make her a match for even the latest Starfleet designs at sublight. Her formidable armament made her perfect for fire support, commerce raiding and anti-piracy missions, and her large shuttle bays allowed her to swiftly deploy shuttles for boarding actions. Indeed, a tradition began among Avenger crews to fly Jolly Roger flags made of stiff polymers on the hull after successful missions.
Sojourner herself has become infamous in recent years as a ship of the weirdos, outcasts, and rogue officers of the fleet-The people Starfleet doesn't want in the spotlight. Ironically enough this may be why she is still in service-A large amount of her chief engineers have been decidedly "unconventional" in their approaches to her systems. Given that Starfleet's big wigs try to pretend Sojourner does not exist, she is nowhere near her original specifications and her chances of passing a Federation safety inspection are practically nil.
Which gives the ship an advantage-Nobody would suspect a tiny, outdated ship like her of being able to run circles around them, screw with their sensors and computers, or otherwise totally own them. And that's just her modifications-Her crew is a whole other level of crazy. Still, they may be crazy, but they're not stupid-In open combat, Sojourner is no match for ships out of her weight class. Hence her decidedly un-Starfleet like approaches to combat.
Thanks to her current chief engineer's latest experiment while drunk on gin mackerel, she has appeared in orbit above TFFA's world.
