The Promise is the first of its kind in a new class of starship from the planet Earth that was sent out in the year 5018 to explore an unknown portion of the galaxy and to further diplomacy among other races in the universe as well as find possible inhabitable planets for the species of Earth to relocate to before the death of the planet in the distant future.
The starship known as the Gallimimus is a ST-class, Class 4 Cruiser starship that was on an experimental time travel mission. As far as the Star League Federation has been able to decipher from the logs, the ship was hijacked by a band of space pirates and was used in breaking several Galactic Laws, including the abduction of two Terrans from 2019 when Earth was classified as a level 5 planet. The Gallimimus is currently, as far as the Star League Federation can tell, piloted by those two abducted individuals and has been re-named The Millennium Enterprise, their apparent reasoning being "in honor of the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars and the USS starship Enterprise from Star Trek." Efforts are being made to recover the ship, apprehend the current crew and return them to their time.
