Construction on the [[United Federation of Planets (FASA)|Federation]] Starship ''Republic,'' a [[Constitution class (FASA)|''Constitution'' class]] vessel, was authorized by the [[Starfleet Appropriations#Stardate 0965|Star Fleet Appropriation of Stardate 0965]].<ref name="SFTM"/> The ''Republic'' was commissioned on {{link|FASA|Reference Stardate}} [[2188 (FASA)#May|1/8805 (May 2188)]].<ref name="FASA2302E2"/> {{link|FASA|James T. Kirk}} served aboard the ''Republic'' as a [[Star Fleet Ranks (FASA)#Cadet|cadet]]. While aboard the vessel, he befriended an older officer, [[Star Fleet Ranks (FASA)#Lieutenant|Lieutenant]] {{link|FASA|Ben Finney}}, but that friendship didn't prevent Kirk from logging an incident in which Finney left a circuit to the vessel's reactor core open, endangering the ship. The incident report caused Finney to be moved to the bottom of the promotions list, and resulted more than a decade of enmity from the older man.<ref name="TOS15"/> The ''Republic'' was commanded at the time by [[Star Fleet Ranks (FASA)#Captain|Captain]] {{link|FASA|Percy Stone}}. Following a dispute with a [[Klingon Empire (FASA)|Klingon]] [[Kl'ar class (FASA)|''Kl'ar'' class]] vessel over the exact boundaries of the [[Klingon Neutral Zone (FASA)|Neutral Zone]], the ''Republic'' limped back into port at [[Tellar (FASA)|Tellar]], having suffered damage to its deflector shields and hull. Kirk would recount to his friend, [[Star Fleet Ranks (FASA)#Lieutenant|Lieutenant]] {{link|FASA|Jose Dominguez}}, that the [[Klingons (FASA)|Klingons]] lost artificial gravity before they were forced to withdraw.<ref name="ST2Bios"/>

[[V'Shall (FASA)|V'Shall]] completed his cadet cruise aboard the ''Republic'' on Reference Stardate [[2198 (FASA)|1/98 (2198)]], then stayed aboard until Reference Stardate [[2204 (FASA)|2/04 (2204)]]. {{link|FASA|Octavio Rodriguez}} also completed his cadet cruise aboard the ''Republic'' on Reference Stardate [[2200 (FASA)|2/00 (2200)]].<ref name="FASA2217"/> 

At one time, the ''Republic'' was notable for having a multispecies crew consisting primarily of [[Kzinti (FASA)|Kzinti]], [[Orions (FASA)|Orions]], and [[Trisk (FASA)|Trisk]], with only six [[Humans (FASA)|Humans]]. One of the six Humans was {{link|FASA|Maria Kellogg}}, who served as the ship's chief engineer.<ref name="TOSN23"/> The ''Republic'' was refit to [[Constitution class (FASA)#Mark III|Mark III]] specifications on Reference Stardate [[2203 (FASA)#September|2/0309 (September 2203)]].<ref name="FASA2302E2"/> The ''Republic'' also recovered a [[recorder-marker buoy]] from the [[U.S.S. Calypso (FASA)|U.S.S. ''Calypso'']], which detailed that vessel's destruction by parasitic creatures.<ref name="TOSNVulcan"/> On [[Stardate]] [[2207 (FASA)#SD5828|5828.3]], the ''Republic,'' under the command of Captain {{link|FASA|Manchu}}, along with the [[U.S.S. Excelsior NCC-1718 (FASA)|U.S.S. ''Excelsior'' NCC-1718]], was dispatched to [[Altair VII (FASA)|Altair VII]] in response to an unknown entity that was attacking locations in the Federation. Captain Kirk and the crew of the ''Enterprise,'' also responding to the emergency, discovered that a vast machine planet intelligence from a parallel universe, called [[Nagha (FASA)|Nagha]], was behind the attacks.<ref name="TOSNV2SleepingGod"/>

The ''Republic,'' now commanded by [[Star Fleet Ranks (FASA)#Captain|Captain]] {{link|FASA|Richard V. Masterson}}, was officially declared lost on Reference Stardate [[2208 (FASA)#August|2/0808.26 (26 August 2208)]], although it was believed that the ship may have been missing as many as seven months prior to that.<ref name="FASA2224"/> Fifteen years later, on [[Stardate]] [[2223 (FASA)#8087|8087.3]]<ref name="FASA2214Lost"/> (Reference Stardate [[2223 (FASA)#April|2/2304 (April 2223)]]<ref name="FASA2224"/>), the ''Republic'' was discovered in the [[Styx Rift (FASA)|Styx Rift]] by the [[U.S.S. Excalibur NCC-1711 (FASA)|U.S.S. ''Excalibur'' NCC-1711]]; the crew had been taken over by the same species of [[flying parasites (FASA)|neural parasites]] that attacked [[Deneva (FASA)|Deneva]] in [[2209 (FASA)|2209]], but fast thinking by the ship's science officer, [[Star Fleet Ranks (FASA)#Lieutenant Commander|Lieutenant Commander]] [[Xepesna (FASA)|Xepesna]], left the ship stranded in the rift. At the time of its disappearance, the ''Republic'' crew included first officer was [[Star Fleet Ranks (FASA)#Commander|Commander]] {{link|FASA|Talia Janovich}}.

Due to the effects of relativistic sublight travel, the crew experienced a far shorter span of elapsed time than fifteen years.<ref name="FASA2214Lost"/> During the years in which the ''Republic'' was believed to have been destroyed, [[U.S.S. Republic NCC-1753 (FASA)|a new vessel bearing the name]] was commissioned.<ref name="FASA2302E2"/>
