The Los Angeles has just undergone a full refit and modernization outfitting after being mothballed for several years, bringing the ship to the standards of Starfleet in the 25th century. Along with the refit, a new Captain and crew are being assembled from all over the Federation, all converging on Starbase 86 to acquaint themselves with the new starship. After all the work is completed and the paint has dried, the Los Angeles heads out on its first patrol, hopeful to prove that the new ship and crew is up to the task of defending the Federation’s security interests.
