True successor

Description

"Captain's personal log, stardate 60698.17. It's been almost three years since I've lost my best friend and mentor, seeing him sacrificing his life and his beloved ship to undo the meance he called Mankind's Bane. It's been two years since the old man finished what Uriah started, taking his own turn against the Borg and departing with whatever they became to teach them what it means to be Human. Two miracles for two captains on two starsips bearing the same name: Polaris. And even after six months of shakedown, I feel myself stumbling in the shadows these great men cast, not ready to accept the title everybody in the First Fleet dream about. Kirsten Heimann, Captain of the Starship Polaris... the title still sounds strange to me. But here I am, ready to take the newest Starship Polaris to the unknown. The old man asked me to take care of his ship, I think keeping up the legacy fulfills that. Uriah asked me to take care of the crew with his parting words. May whatever power that be help me to be able to do that..."


Here it is, ladies and gentlemen. I finally managed to came up with a worthy successor of the Polaris lineage. Presenting the Maria Boccioni class light cruiser. She's, obviously, a Sovereign class variant, a light cruiser modification thereof. The class is named after the legendary Branch Admiral, the mother of the modern First Fleet, the driving force behind the Pallada class project of the glorious past. With her, I'll reconcile some aspects of the post-Uriah Noah era, whilst adding some new concepts.

Remember, this is the Polarisverse. The new Polaris is not a counterpart to the current Enterprise, which is still the Galaxy-class Enterprise-D, albeit modified into a Galaxy-X class dreadnought after this universe's Battle of the Bassen Rift. There is no Enterprise-E yet, and it'll probably not be a Sovereign class in this universe. But we're still after the Borg Invasion of 2381 and the Typhon Pact is ready to finish the job the Collective started.

This series' main plotline will be Tzenkethi based. Diehard Polaris fans (is there such a thing?) might remember that Kirsten Heimann, the granddaughter of the legendary Rochus Heimann and Charlotte Ainsworth of the classic Polaris was born and raised on Tzenketh. So in these turbulent times, guess where the first mission will take this new Starship Polaris?
