U.S.S. Republic NCC-1371
The Constitution class Starship Republic was commissioned in May 2246.[2] James T. Kirk served aboard the Republic[3] for his first cadet cruise in 2254 while attending Starfleet Academy.[4] While aboard the vessel, he befriended an older officer, Lieutenant 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.[3] The Republic later resolved the threat of piracy by Orion raiders in the Volus Corridor, and deterred Klingon border incursions along the Neutral Zone.[5]
The Republic was lost and officially declared missing on 26 August 2266.[6] Fifteen years later, on Stardate 8087.3, the Republic was discovered in the Styx Rift by the U.S.S. Excalibur NCC-1711; the crew had been taken over by the same species of Neural parasites that attacked Deneva in 2266, but fast thinking by the ship's science officer, Lieutenant Commander Xepesna, left the ship stranded in the rift for fifteen years. At the time of its disappearance, the Republic was commanded by Captain Richard V. Masterson; his first officer was Commander Talia Janovich. Lieutenant Chal'n Dax served as chief helmsman, and Doctor T'Narra was chief medical officer; Lieutenant Commander Bahrrr was the ship's chief engineer, Lieutenant R'Randrr was the communications officer, and Lieutenant Juliet Rodriguez was the ship's assistant science officer.[7]
