[edit] Premise
During the Dominion War, Starfleet was forced to set aside exploratory missions and vessels in favor of combat missions and warships. Starships left drydock with spaceframes outfitted solely as warships of the Federation, lacking scientific facilities and exploratory capacity. However, with the end of the war, Starfleet began to return to its exploratory roots; scientific facilities were installed aboard the surviving ships that lacked them, and new starships were designed and built for exploration first and foremost. Among these was the Luna-class starship; Titan is one of the first of these new exploratory vessels and placed under the command of Captain Riker, with the initial mission of dealing with unrest in and near the Romulan Star Empire.
