The USS Merlin was a Wizard-class Federation starship used by Starfleet as an experimental testbed in the 23rd century.
Service history and disposition[]
The vessel entered service on or after reference stardate 2/06. (Stardate Magazine vol. 1, Issue 8: "Wizard Class Starship")
In 2270, Merlin was assigned to Operation Shadowfall and outfitted with a Federation cloaking device. She succeeded the USS Sparrowhawk, which blew up during a previous test under suspicious circumstances.
Merlin departed on a cloaked flight at warp five to the Delta Zeta system. Security Chief Jack Tarrow was found unconscious after a fall down a Jefferies tube and was diagnosed with a concussion in sickbay. Captain Ivan Trimski apprised their escort, the Nhat-Le, of Tarrow's injury but chose to continue the flight test. (FASA RPG module: Operation Shadowfall)
