USS Shenzhou

The USS Shenzhou (NCC-1227) was a 23rd century Federation Walker-class starship operated by Starfleet, under the command of Captain Philippa Georgiou. (DIS: "The Vulcan Hello")

Prior to 2249, The Shenzhou was launched into service from the San Francisco Fleet Yards, Earth with its motto being, "All existing things are really one." (DIS: "The Vulcan Hello", "Battle at the Binary Stars")

In 2256, the Shenzhou conducted a mission to the Crepusculan homeworld, where a landing party revived a dry water well. (DIS: "The Vulcan Hello")

Following that mission, it was dispatched to a binary star system on the outer edge of Federation space, to investigate damage to an interstellar relay. After encountering a Klingon vessel, and ultimately a fleet, the Shenzhou was the first ship to be attacked in the Battle at the Binary Stars. The ship suffered heavy damage, losing shields and impulse engines, leaving it drifting into the system's debris ring. Only the arrival of the USS Europa prevented the ship colliding with an asteroid. Following the conclusion of the battle, and the death of Captain Georgiou, the crew evacuated the mortally wounded ship, leaving it abandoned. (DIS: "The Vulcan Hello", "Battle at the Binary Stars")

The Shenzhou was equipped with worker bees. (DIS: "The Vulcan Hello",DIS: "Battle at the Binary Stars")
