What is uss discovery?

The USS Discovery is a fictional starship in the Star Trek universe. It is a Crossfield-class vessel that appears in the television series Star Trek: Discovery. The ship is named after several other Starfleet ships with the same name, the first of which was introduced in the original Star Trek series.

Under the command of Captain Gabriel Lorca and then Captain Christopher Pike, the USS Discovery travels through space in the 23rd century, encountering new civilizations and facing threats from both within and outside of Starfleet. The ship is equipped with advanced technology, including a revolutionary spore drive that allows it to travel great distances in a fraction of the time required by conventional warp engines.

The USS Discovery is also notable for being the first Star Trek series to have a non-captain character, Ensign Sylvia Tilly, as the central protagonist. The ship and its crew have become a fan favorite among Star Trek fans since the series premiered in 2017.
