The USS Patton was a Larson-class Federation starship in service in the 23rd century.
After Starfleet Intelligence agent Michael Thorn disappeared on reference stardate 2/1410.21 (circa 2273), the USS Patton was tasked with transporting a group of Starfleet personnel to the Orion Colony world of Daros IV. Their mission was to continue Thorn's investigation into rumors of Klingon activity on Daros IV.
In stardate 2/1412, the Patton intercepted the Eridani Star, a Mission-class transport ship owned by the TransSolar company and en route to Daros IV. The Eridani was commandeered to carry the Starfleet investigators undercover to Daros IV. The Patton meanwhile patrolled outside the system and would provide support if required.

- As this is an RPG adventure module, the official outcome is unknown, though a successful conclusion would see the Patton aiding the Starfleet investigators and destroying the pirate ship Morakos.
