U.S.S. Constellation[1]
The Federation Starship Constellation, a Constitution class vessel, was commissioned on Reference Stardate 1/8803 (March 2246),[Notes 1] and upgraded to Mark III specifications on Reference Stardate 2/0211 (November 2260).[2] The Constellation was commanded by Commodore Matt Decker as early as 2263, when the ship discovered the Taurus meta-genome while exploring Ravanar IV in the Taurus Reach.[3]
The Constellation was heavily damaged on Stardate 4202.9 (Reference Stardate 2/0802) in 2366 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 and destroying the ship.[4]
Notes
- ↑ FASA game materials referred to events by a FASA-specific dating standard called the "Reference Stardate." All dates taken from FASA sources in this article have been adapted from that notation into standard calendar dates, which are then adjusted for errors in the baseline dates used as reference by the FASA authors. Working with a known, dated event (e.g., the launch of the Constitution class starships), the other dates in the timeline can be adjusted accordingly. FASA sources give the launch of the Constitution class as Reference Stardate 1/8801.04, which translates to the standard caldendar date of 04 January 2188. This has been established on screen, however, as occurring in 2245. As the exact month and date remain unstated in other sources, those remain the same, but the year has been adjusted to 2245, giving a modified date of 04 January 2245. This can then also be converted into the pre-TOS stardate system established in Star Trek (2009), giving us a stardate of 2245.004.
