The Orpheus was a Federation-registered freighter, an Altair-class starship launched in the mid-24th century.
Service history and disposition[]
In 2364, Orpheus carried a prototype space saver for experimental testing. An engineer accidentally turned it on, and it began transporting ship's personnel into a pocket dimension. When the people disappeared, other crew members' memories of them faded. The USS Enterprise-D arrived to assist, and Doctor Beverly Crusher and Lieutenant Natasha Yar boarded the vessel. Crusher was drawn into the device and discovered the missing crew. Once the device was opened, the missing crew were able to step back onto the freighter. Yar placed the ship under quarantine until investigatory protocols could be established. (TNG - Waypoint - Special 2019 comic: "Unfathom")
