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.

Continent class (FASA-2302)

A typical Continent class assault ship could beam down its contingent of 3200 marines, 16 heavy tanks, and 50 light support vehicles in 30 minutes, ensuring fast response when arriving at a planetary trouble spot. In addition to the marines, a Continent class ship carried a crew of 62. Continent class ships were 245 meters long, 175 meters wide, and 45 meters high, with 13 decks and a mass of 129,900 metric tons. The ships were lightly armed, with six FH-2 phaser arrays and standard deflector shields; the ships had a maximum rated speed of warp 7 for 12 hours.[1]

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.

The Constellation was a Constitution class starship commanded by Commodore Matt Decker. The Constellation was heavily damaged on Stardate 4202.9 near System L-374 by a planet killer weapon of presumed extragalactic origin. The planet killer destroyed the planets in System L-374, including a planet where the crew of the Constellation had taken refuge after the ship was disabled. Personnel from the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 programmed the nearly-destroyed Constellation to overload its impulse drive inside the planet killer, disabling the automated weapon.[1]

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]
