The Illustrious was launched on the 27th August 2385 shortly after the transportation of the United Federation of Planets by the Omntipotent being known as Q. It was mere moments after Captain Kittinger formally took command of the ship that the Illustriou was charged with heading to a border colony and investigationg the identity and purpose of a number of ships that had seemingly decided to investigate the sudden arrival of the 154 individual star systems that make up the Federation. Although there were one or two diplomatic trip-ups the Illustrious and the other supporting craft in-system were able to stabalise the situation and peaceful discourse took place between Captain Kittinger and his counterparts (NST: Stepping Boldly into a new Frontier)
