Glory

Glory was the name of a Constitution class starship that had come into the possession of a privateer named Deigo DeBlazio. Glory is the name DeBlazio gave the vessel upon taking possession of the ship, it is not known what the vessel's original name was.

At one time, the ship was part of the United Federation of Planets Starfleet. Eventually the ship was decommissioned. At the time, the Federation often sold decommissioned ships to private entities, and the Glory was sold.

The ship eventually made its way into Romulan hands. The Romulans refitted the ship, and gave it to Deigo DeBlazio so that the man could act as a cat's paw against Federation shipping. DeBlazio attacked a number of freighters, and even disabled a Starfleet cruiser. This drew the attention of the Enterprise to the area.

Eventually, DeBlazio figured out that the Romulans were going to betray him, and turned against them. He then headed for Romulan space, intending to harass their shipping network.
