USS Glenn (NCC-1030)

The USS Glenn (NCC-1040) was a Federation starship in Starfleet service in the mid-23rd century.

History
After war broke out between the Federation and the Klingon Empire in May of 2256, the Glenn and her sister ship the USS Discovery (NCC-1031) was tasked with a top secret mission to develope a new kind of Faster-than-light drive utilizing spores from the fungus Prototaxites stellaviatori.

After half a year of testing under the guidance of Science officer Straal, the Gleen team managed to make advances far greater then then Lieutenant Paul Stemets on Discovery, making a jump as far as 90 light years. However, one of their test jumps caused a basidiosac rupture that crippled the Glenn and killed the entire crew. Eventually, a group of Klingon warriors boarded the ship in hopes of acquiring Federation technologies, but they were slain by an agressive life form loose on the vessel.

The Discovery was dispatched to investigate and boarded the ship as well. They were able to salvage logs and assets related to the project, and Captain Gabriel Lorca had the creature transported to Discovery. After this the Glenn was scuttled by a pair of photon torpedoes.
