The USS Challenger (NCC-92421) is an Odyssey-class Heavy Explorer under the command of Captain Tarvin Rix. Commissioned in January 2401, to replace the old Galaxy-class starship, the new Challenger was assigned to Starfleet's Fourth Fleet and designated the flagship of the newly formed Challenger Squadron, commanded by Commodore Elizabeth Wyatt.
Her original mission would have seen Challenger and her squadron travel to the Gamma Quadrant to begin exploring a region abandoned by the Dominion, however Starfleet Command postponed that mission several times, before ultimately cancelling it. Instead, the Challenger was assigned to diplomatic duties throughout Federation space.
