They seem to remember how to start the ships and get them moving, but something tells me they can't remember how to steer judging from the erratic way the ships move around.

That's because they don't assign a crew or captain since they plan to upgrade the ship with a master computer. However, they end up launching it without adding the computer with only a few of the construction crew on board.

----Ship's log, stardate 2411.5-----

Chief Plumber's assistant Grog, acting captain.

It's been four weeks since our Imperial Minister A'i orderered our immediate and premature launch from Neckron VI. We have managed to finally finish the hull plating on deck's 6 through 8 and have got the environmental controls back on line. Onfortunatley our departure from space dock was so hurried that the Food Service Ministry had not yet yet outfitted our galley with more than a 8 day supply of meals. We have been living off emergency rations since then. On the bright side, Elctricians mate third class Tonus has discovered a group of Tach'tars living in the ventilation ducts on deck 12. We expect to be able to find enough of them to eat well for another week an a half. I am nominating Tonus for a field promotion.

Our repeated comunications to the Ship Control Ministry have only been answered by the same cryptic response. "Move to Altair sector 5,1, Explore"
