Editing Roderick J. McDermott (section)

==Sixth Assignment: USS Resolve (NCC 50977)==

The Resolve was an Ambassador Class vessel heavily modified and retrofitted with some of the newest technology available for service as a dedicated science vessel. As such she was the perfect vessel for an explorer like Roderick McDermott and it is likely that it was for that reason he was chosen to command her.

Tragically the Resolve was lost only four weeks after the disappearance of the Venture.

The details of the disappearance of both vessels are a matter of strictest secrecy to this day and even details such as who was in command of the Resolve when she was lost are still classified. Conspiracy theorists claim that they’re rumors from a number of credible sources indicating that Roderick McDermott was in command of the Resolve when she was lost. Such a theory is however questionable as McDermott can be confirmed as being aboard the Venture when she was lost four weeks earlier.

As all records on these two incidents are sealed at this point, it is not likely that the truth will come out any time soon, if ever.
