- The USS Pegasus (NCC-53847) was an Oberth Class Federation starship in operation during the 24th century. A prototype vessel, the Pegasus served as a testbed vehicle for various technologies, many of which would later be implemented on the Galaxy-class. In 2358, the Pegasus was commanded by Captain Erik Pressman, and included Ensign William T. Riker, on his first assignment out of the Academy. In that year, the Pegasus was assigned to conduct a test of an interphase cloaking device, in direct violation of the Treaty of Algeron. During the test, an explosion occurred in Main Engineering, resulting in heavy casualties. Several members of the crew, including the first officer and chief engineer, mutinied in an attempt to shut down the illegal test. Pressman, Riker, and seven other crewmembers fled the ship in an escape pod. Not long after departing, they witnessed a large explosion in space. No wreckage was found, and the vessel was believed to have been destroyed by a warp core breach. In fact, the Pegasus was not destroyed but rather drifted in cloaked form until it re-materialized inside asteroid gamma 601 in the Devolin system. The survivors stated that the accident in engineering had been responsible for the destruction of the Pegasus, and made no mention of the cloak. The Judge Advocate General's inquiry into the incident concluded that the surviving officers had not been entirely truthful in their recounting of the events, and suggested a further investigation. The follow-up investigation never took place, and the inquiry report was quietly buried by Starfleet Intelligence. In 2370, the Romulan warbird IRW Terix discovered a piece of wreckage from the Pegasus in the Devolin system. Pressman, now an admiral, dispatched the USS Enterprise-D to recover the vessel first, aiming to reach the cloaking device before the Romulans discovered the Federation's duplicity. The Enterprise entered the asteroid and found the ship, which was half-buried in solid rock. The illegal events that happened aboard were made public, and Pressman, among others, were court-martialed.

(TNG: "The Pegasus") The USS Beachmont picked up the distress call of the Pegasus's escape pods and rescued the crew which included Pressman and a young William Riker. (Star Trek: Pendragon: "Cloak and Dagger") In 2370, the Pegasus was discovered embedded in an asteroid in the Devolin system. The USS Enterprise-D retrieved the cloaking device and exposed the illegal test. (TNG: "The Pegasus")
- In 2357, the Pegasus was commanded by Captain Erik Pressman. Ensign William T. Riker was assigned to the vessel, on his first assignment out of Starfleet Academy. Shortly after, the Pegasus was ordered to Candelar IV on a mission to to pick up the criminal, Endyk Plure. The Pegasus was also sent on a mission to capture the pirate vessel, Heaven's Blade, in disputed territory of the Omistol and the Ven. The Pegasus was captured by an Omistol warship, but they were able to escape after the crew faked a self-destruct sequence. The Pegasus was then sent on the mission by Admiral Horace Bonner to kill Ensign Riker. (TLE novel: Deny Thy Father) Within a year, the Pegasus came back to Earth for a refit, where it was secretly chosen as a testbed for an illegal Federation cloaking device. During the test, the device's power draw massively exceeded the expected levels and caused a major explosion in engineering, along with widespread system failures. First officer Ronald Moore and much of the command crew demanded that the cloak be shut down out of fear that it would eventually cause a warp core breach, but Pressman refused on the grounds that they were close enough to the Romulan Neutral Zone that they might be detected. Not long afterwards the ship's life support systems began to fluctuate, after which the bridge crew tried to remove Pressman from command at gunpoint, causing Riker to grab a phaser and defend his captain. However, it quickly became clear that the officers loyal to Pressman were vastly outnumbered, forcing them to abandon ship. Although Pressman, Riker and several others managed to escape, the remaining crew attempted to deactivate the cloak and the following malfunction blew out the ship's plasma relays, causing what appeared to be a large explosion (which was assumed by the escaped officers to be a warp core breach), and a radiation surge which killed everyone on-board in a matter of seconds. Pressman and the survivors believed that the Pegasus had been destroyed and the whole matter was hushed up and buried. In reality, the ship drifted through the asteroid-filled Devolin system, and as it was passing through a large asteroid the ship's power reserves became insufficient to maintain the cloak, resulting in it materializing partially inside the asteroid. (TNG novel: A Time to Love; TNG episode: "The Pegasus"; WizKids module: Tactics) In 2370, the wreck of the Pegasus was discovered by the USS Enterprise-D and the cloaking device recovered. The Enterprise entered the asteroid and found the ship, which was partially phased into solid rock. The illegal events that happened aboard were made public, and Pressman, among others, were court-martialed. The ship itself was not recovered.
