History and disposition[]
The USS Inquiry entered service in the year 2394 following its construction at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards at Mars. (Star Trek Adventures RPG module: Utopia Planitia Starfleet Sourcebook)

A squadron of Inquiry-class vessels was among the most advanced Starfleet ships in the late 2390s decade. (PIC episode: "Et in Arcadia Ego")
The Inquiry proved successful enough to spawn two subclasses in the early 25th century, the Avenger-class and Arbiter-class battlecruisers, both launched in the 2400s decade.. The USS Inquiry remained in service and was active in 2411. By that year, the ship had been fitted with a new technology, the variable assault deflector array (VADA), a deflector array configured for offensive action during combat.
