UEES Paul C. Gerwald

The UEES Paul C. Gerwald (PCG-4101) is a second generation (Flight II) Aegis Hammerhead that also known as the famous "ghost ship". The ship was named after the deceased senator Paul C. Gerwald. In 2818, the ship was separated from her unit and supply chain in 2818 during long-range reconnaissance in what was then believed to be Vanduul-occupied space. Suffering extensive damage to her navigation system and a total jump drive, the crew of the Gerwald spent eighteen months disconnected from the fleet before a passing explorer managed to scope their short-range beacon. The Gerwald’s story was adapted into a propaganda vid, “The Iron Will” although historians quickly noted the ship itself was played by a surplus Guine-class patrol ship.
