History
S.S. Mariposa NAR-7678 DY-500 Class Colony vessel, launched from Earth on November 27, 2123, toward the Ficus Sector.
Commanding officer was Captain Walter Granger.
Besides colonists, the ship's payload included an interesting mix of high-technology equipment and low-tech gear
such as spinning wheels and actual animal livestock.
The Mariposa carried two very different groups of colonists.
The first, who settled planet Bringlois V, were a group of Irish descendants who had eschewed technology in favor
of a simpler agrarian life.
The second, who settled a planet they named Mariposa, embraced technology and in fact survived only with the aid of
sophisticated cloning techniques.
The colonies were reunited in 2365 when solar flares threatened the Bringloidi, while dangerous replicative fading
threatened the Mariposa.
TNG "Up the Long Ladder"
Named for the Spanish word for "butterfly". The DY-500 designation presumably means that the Mariposa was a advanced
version of Khan's DY-100-class S.S. Botany Bay seen in TOS "Space Seed".

Starbase 102 (spacedock v5) turns around Mariposa.
The USS DELESTREZ, USS Harvard (NCC-59800) & USS Tyson are around SB 102.
