The Kensington Taylor was a late 23rd century Federation-registry surveyor starship assigned to the Belle Terre Colonial Expedition as a forward scout under the command of Captain Mitch Dogan.

Service history and disposition[]

From 2276 to 2279, Kensington Taylor surveyed a number of worlds in the Sagittarian Stellar Group and hadn't seen any combat during that time, though they did launch all their photon torpedoes to clear asteroids.

In 2279, while studying Belle Terre in the Occult system, sensors showed shifting mass in one of the world's nine moons, dubbed the quake moon. During Gamma Night, a cyclical period of neutron star radiation that created a sensor blackout, Kensington Taylor was attacked by an unknown alien fighter and prepared to send a distress signal using deep space prospecting emergency code sierra-zero-sierra once the blackout lifted. Dogan was able to beat back the attacker with cunning maneuvers and carefully aimed phaser blasts, sending the wreck of the attacker careening into the quake moon. A minute later, however, a shadow that to Dogan appeared to be the quake moon smashed into and destroyed the surveyor, with a loss of all hands. (TOS - New Earth novel: Wagon Train to the Stars)
