USS Icarus (Excelsior class)

The USS Icarus was a Federation starship in service in the 24th century. In 2357, command was given to Admiral Owen Paris for a one year mission known as the Arias expedition.

While officially, the Arias expedition was a study of massive halo objects. The ship would travel 600 light years past Deep Space Station Seven to the galactic rim where there was a suspected birthplace of these objects. However, in addition to their official mission, a group of Rangers aboard would be carrying out a spy mission along the Cardassian border.

Six months into the voyage, Admiral Paris and Ensign Kathryn Janeway were captured by Gul Camet. Within a few hours, both officers were rescued by Lieutenant Justin Tighe and the rest of the Rangers. (VOY novel: Mosaic).
