The starship USS Tranquility was originally commissioned in June 1990 with a small core group of members. Since that time, the ship's membership has grown considerably. We now have over twenty members that have a wide range of interests, hobbies, and talents. The ship was christened the Tranquility because of the very non-tranquil commissioning. Originally a Schollnick Class starship, a new Excelsior Class vessel was commissioned in 1994 to carry on the mantel of the Tranquility.
