The U.S.S. Grand Alliance is a specially-built fast diplomatic transport, Naval Construction Code (NCC) 72800. Designed by InPayne Shipyards and commissioned in the mid-2360s, it was placed in reserve from 2368 and has sat unused at Starbase One. The physical model of the Grand Alliance is a very inventive kitbash created by John Payne, alias InPayne. This design and its history before its use in Fragile Peace is of his creation. Her official codename is Starfleet One, serving as "a giant limo for the Federation President", as Payne himself has described it.
