U.S.S. Cortez NCC-42069

Centaur class (DS9-525)
Centaur class (DS9-525)

The Centaur-class Starship Cortez, commanded by Captain Quentin Swofford, was part of a task force commanded by Captain Sisko to retake station Deep Space 9 during the Dominion War in 2374’s Operation Return. The Cortez had trouble with the guidance thrusters on the port nacelle. The ship was ordered to fall back, and its position in the fleet was filled by the U.S.S. Sarek.[1] The Cortez later was one of the first ships to break through the Dominion fleet, which it reported was in retreat; it was later ordered to rendezvous with the rest of the Federation fleet at Deep Space 9.[2] The Cortez was reported missing while patrolling the border, and was presumed to have been destroyed by the Jem’Hadar. The Defiant searched the area for survivors for nearly six hours.[3] Named for Hernan Cortez, the Spanish conquistador who overthrew the Aztec empire and won Mexico for Spain.

U.S.S. Constellation NCC-2500

Constellation class (TNG-110)
Constellation class (TNG-110)

In 2371, the Constellation class [1] Starship Constellation was sent to transport the Jem’Hadar abandoned on Deep Space 9 to Starbase 201.[2] After the Starship Honshu was destroyed in 2374, Starfleet assigned the Constellation and the Defiant to search for survivors in adjacent star systems.[3]

The registry of the ship referenced in the Deep Space Nine episodes was never given; it seems reasonable to assume it was this ship unless new information contradicts it.

Constellation class (TNG-147)

The Constellation class was a starship type with four warp nacelles,[1] first commissioned in 2276.[11] The warp nacelles and several components of the saucer section shared many design similarities with the Constitution and Miranda class designs of the era.[1] Constellation-class ships were on the verge of being phased out in the mid-2360s,[6] but some were still in service in in 2370.[9] Several had already been decommissioned by 2365, including the U.S.S. Hathaway NCC-2593, which had been stripped of its offensive systems and rendered “warp inactive” by removing all antimatter from its warp reaction system.[6]

U.S.S. Cochrane NCC-59318

Oberth class (ST-03)
Oberth class (ST-03)

In 2366, the Oberth-class Starship Cochrane performed a survey of the planet Eloh, using only unmanned space probes in an effort to avoid being visible to Elohsian technology, which was equivalent to that of 20th century Earth. The Cochrane found the Elohsian world to be severely damaged by an ongoing military conflict.[3] The Cochrane transported Admiral Norah Satie to the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D on Stardate 44769.2.[1] Nearly six months later, on Stardate 45208.2, the Cochrane transported Cadet Wesley Crusher to the Enterprise while he was on leave from Starfleet Academy.[2] On Stardate 46379.1, it transported Dr. Julian Bashir and Lieutenant Jadzia Dax to Deep Space Nine.[5] In 2371, the Cochrane was ordered to transport dignataries from various Federation planets to Earth so that they could discuss the rising threat from the Dominion. Shortly after, the ship transported Nev Reoh and Starsa to Oppalassa and came under attack by Klingon warships.[4] On Stardate 51721.3, the Cochrane reported numerous casualties suffered during the Dominion War.[6] Named for the Human inventor of warp drive, Zefram Cochrane.

Defiant class (DS9-537)

In the Mirror Universe, the Capital Gain was a warship constructed by the Terran Rebellion,[2] and was based on the Defiant-class specifications stolen from Deep Space Nine in 2371. After the Terran Rebellion on the Mirror Terok Nor built their own Defiant,[1] Generals Zek and Bashir turned the abandoned Empok Nor station into a shipyard capable of producing up to twelve Defiant-class starships at a time. The Capital Gain was the first ship produced there, and was captained by Zek.[2]

In 2369 the Excelsior-class U.S.S. Cairo NCC-42136, commanded by Captain Edward Jellico, transported Vice Admiral Nechayev to a rendezvous with the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D when it was feared that the Cardassians were developing a metagenic weapon.[1] In 2374, the Cairo, now under the command of Captain Leslie Wong, was lost and presumed destroyed by Dominion forces while on patrol near the Romulan Neutral Zone.[2] Named for the capitol city of Egypt on Earth.

The K’t’inga class B’Moth was disabled near the Cardassian border by the Jem’Hadar in 2373 and then used as a trap for unsuspecting samaritans. The I.K.S. Rotarran, under the command of General Martok, braved the trap and succeeded, destroying the waiting Jem’Hadar and saving thirty B’Moth crew members.[1, 2]

Perhaps the most famous spacecraft in the history of space exploration, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was a Constitution class vessel.[3] Launched in 2245[13] from the San Francisco Fleet Yards orbiting Earth,[1] the Enterprise was first commanded by Captain Robert April,[4] who was later succeeded by his first officer, Christopher Pike, in 2250.[9] During Pike’s command, the Enterprise had a crew complement of 203, though it was unclear if this figure included Pike himself.[1] According to Ensign Tyler, the ship’s power was “enough to blast half a continent.”[1] Superbly equipped for research in deep space, the Enterprise had 14 science labs.[2] The ship achieved legendary status during the first five-year mission under its third captain, James T. Kirk, from 2265 to 2270.[5]

The Constitution class cruisers are among the most renowned vessels of their time. Serving as both a research vessel and a cruiser, these ships performed their duties to perfection for the majority of the 23rd century. The Constitution class ships were an integral part of the buildup during “The Great Awakening,” from the outset the most versatile of all ships built for the expansion efforts. class starships included the acclaimed U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701.[1] During the time of Captain James T. Kirk’s celebrated first five-year mission of exploration, only twelve of these ships were in existence.[2] Constitution class starships used duotronic computers, based on designs developed by Dr. Richard Daystrom in 2243.[8]
