In [[Chronology: 2155|2155]], the ''Columbia'' was assigned to protect shipping lanes used by members of the fledgling [[Coalition of Planets]], following several attacks on Coalition shipping lines. The ''Columbia'' later responded to an attack on [[Draylax]] by Romulan-controlled Klingon ships. While investigating that attack, the ''Columbia'' was then forced to attempt to defend a number of freighters in the [[Alpha Centauri system]] from Romulan-controlled [[Vulcan High Command|Vulcan]] ships.<ref name="ENTN12"/>

In [[Chronology: 2155#November|November 2155]], a fleet of five Romulan warbirds under the command of [[Romulan Ranks#Admiral|Admiral]] [[Mindar]] approached the [[Berengaria system]]. The ''Columbia,'' the [[Discovery NX-04|''Discovery'']], under the command of Captain [[Curtis]], and the [[Excalibur (NX class)|''Excalibur'']], under the command of Captain [[Stiles, Bran|Bran Stiles]], immediately saw that they were hopelessly outmatched. The Romulans were jamming all communications out of the system, so Hernandez ordered Stiles to retreat and warn [[Earth Starfleet|Starfleet Command]]. Two Romulan ships broke off to pursue the ''Excalibur,'' while ''Columbia'' and ''Discovery'' fought the remaining three. ''Columbia'' barely escaped the engagement, having bought time for as many of the base personnel to escape as possible, but ''Discovery'' was destroyed. <ref name="BattleStarbase1"/><ref name="RomWar1"/><ref name="UFP150"/>

In [[Chronology: 2156|2156]], while escorting a mining convoy from the [[Onias sector]], the ''Columbia'' was attacked by a group of Romulan starships. The Romulans used their [[telecapture]] system to take control of the ''Columbia,'' using her to destroy the convoy. The crew of the ''Columbia'' then faked a [[autodestruct|self-destruct]] by detonating a [[photonic torpedo]] simultaneously with a brief warp jump. The ''Columbia'' was severely damaged in the attack; warp drive and communications systems were irreparably damaged. More than half the crew and most of the [[MACO]] contingent were dead, with only forty-two surviving. Rather than wait for rescue, Captain Hernandez ordered the ship to set course for a planet that long-range scans indicated might possess intelligent life at near-light speeds. In order to get to the planet without warp drive, the ''Columbia'' used her impulse engines to achieve the highest possible sub-light speeds, resulting in relative time dilation; ''Columbia'' arrived at the planet in [[Chronology: 2168|2168]], though only 63 days had passed aboard ship.<ref name="Destiny1"/>

Upon arriving at the planet, [[Erigol]], its inhabitants, the [[Caeliar]], informed the landing party that they would never be allowed to return home in order to protect the Caeliar's privacy from the outside galaxy. Several ''Columbia'' crewmembers and MACO officers ignored Captain Hernandez's orders to cooperate with the Caeliar, destroying a Caeliar city and disrupting their ongoing inter-galactic communications program known as the Great Work. This set in motion a sequence of events leading to Erigol's star going supernova and the destruction of Erigol, and to the creation of several unstable subspace vortices. ''Columbia,'' attempting to flee the supernova, entered a subspace tunnel that led to the distant [[Gamma Quadrant]]; the entire crew that was still aboard was incinerated by the hyperphasic radition present in the subspace tunnel, forty seconds after entering it. The only survivors were the ''Columbia'' crewmembers in the Caeliar city-ships of [[Mantilis]] and [[Axion]], which entered subspace tunnels that deposited them in [[Delta Quadrant]] in [[Chronology: Before the Common Era#4527 BCE|4527 BCE]] and the [[Beta Quadrant]] in [[Chronology: 10th to 18th Centuries#1519|AD 1519]], respectively. The [[Humans]] and Caeliar deposited in the Delta Quadrant would inadvertently merge, creating the [[Borg]].<ref name="Destiny1"/><ref name="Destiny2"/><ref name="Destiny3"/>

The disappearance of the ''Columbia'' became one of the most enduring mysteries in [[Starfleet]] history for more than two centuries, known only to have been last reported near [[Tau Ceti]].<ref name="Destiny1"/> In [[Chronology: 2373|2373]], the mystery took a new twist when the ''Columbia'' was discovered at its final crash site on a planet in the Gamma Quadrant by the crew of the [[U.S.S.

<ref name="BattleStarbase1">"The Romulan War" novels and "Federation: The First 150 Years" provide conflicting details of Starbase 1's location and the battle to defend it against the Romulans, with "The Romulan War" placing the Starbase on Berengaria VII and the battle in November 2155, and "Federation" placing it on Algeron and the battle in May 2156. While ''Discovery'' defended Starbase 1 on its own in the novel, and ''Columbia'' and ''Excalibur'' defended the Starbase together in "Federation," the details have been merged to have all three ships present at Berengaria VII in November 2155. While "Federation" showed that ''Columbia'' was destroyed in the battle, this conflicts with the "Destiny" novels and has been disregarded. Instead, ''Discovery'' is destroyed (as in "The Romulan War"), while ''Excalibur'' and ''Columbia'' both escape.</ref>

Launched in November 2154, the NX class Starship Columbia was commanded by Captain Erika Hernandez.[1] Initially, Captain A.G. Robinson was anticipated to command the Columbia, but he died unexpectedly in March 2153.[2]

Columbia's launch was pushed back from June to November 2154 when problems arose with the engines, leaving the ship unable to assist the Enterprise NX-01 during an incident with a Romulan drone ship.[3] Not long thereafter, Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker III transferred as chief engineer from the Enterprise to Columbia, quickly solving many of the problems plaguing the ship's engines. Shortly after being launched, the Columbia was called upon to assist the Enterprise, which had been sabotaged by Klingons.[4] After solving the problems with the Enterprise, the Columbia then assisted her sister ship in recovering Dr. Phlox from the Klingon colony on Qu'Vat, and engaged several Klingon warships in combat.[5]
