By november 2256, it was still considered impressively new, fresh out of the shipyards, and equipped with some of starfleet's most advanced technologies in contrast with the relatively old uss shenzhou .As a crossfield-class starship, discovery was officially designated a science vessel, though it was capable of defending itself. The ship's facilities were capable of accommodating three hundred discrete scientific missions, a starfleet record.Due to the outbreak of the federation-klingon war of 2256, a vessel as new as discovery would normally have been pressed into service on the front lines, even though it would have a relatively small impact compared to other, more combat-oriented vessels. Instead, discovery was placed under the command of captain lorca and given a clandestine mission to conduct black ops scientific research, developing top-secret weapons and technologies that would help the federation win the war. Several of these experiments had the potential to physically endanger the ship itself and its crew: hazardous situations caused by the black ops experiments being activated were addressed by declaring a black alert which was not a standard protocol on starfle...
