Swught

S.S. Swught

The Starship Swught is a passenger vessel originating from the planet Trill. Specifically, it is an Interstellar ThrillSpeed OmniLuxury Cruise Liner. It was constructed by the Cerulean Shipyards in the Trill star system, and was launched in the year 2356.

The Swught was first piloted out of the shipyards by Damhnait Sefton, who later went on to become the vessel's civilian Captain.

Cristobel Sefton was born and raised aboard the Swught. During his adolescence, he worked as an apprentice chef in the ship's kitchens. His signature dish on the menu was a trifle tart fusion.

During the worst of the Dominion War, the Swught was chartered by the Daystrom Research Institute. What with Starfleet's resources spreading thin on the front lines, the Institute sent a compliment of scientists to chart unexplored regions of the Beta Quadrant aboard the cruise ship. Following the war, the Swught was dry-docked for refit. The crew of the vessel volunteered their efforts to the reconstruction of Betazed, healing the scars left behind by the Dominion occupation of the planet.

In recent years, the Swught has resumed its travels across the familiar and comfortable space lanes within the United Federation of Planets.

Out of Character

What was the inspiration for the name of Cristobel's home, when it was invented all those years ago?

Gentleman: If you require it, any gentleman here can give you use of a sword.
Mal Reynolds: Use of a... s'what?
