U.S.S. Exeter NCC-1672

U.S.S. Exeter^[1]

The Constitution class^[1] Starship Exeter^{[Notes 1]} was commissioned on Reference Stardate 2/9003 (March 2247),^{[Notes 2]} and refit to Mark III specifications on Reference Stardate 2/0307 (July 2260).^[2]In 2268, the Exeter visited planet Omega IV, where Captain Ronald Tracey unwittingly brought back a deadly virus from an ancient bacteriological war. The entire crew was infected and reduced to dehydrated crystals by the virus. Tracey returned to the surface, where he violated the Prime Directive by providing the primitive Kohm civilization with phasers to use against their rivals, the Yangs. Tracey was discovered by the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 and arrested.^[1] The Exeter was scrapped, rather than risk exposing a new crew to any lingering microbial agents.^[2]

Note

↑ The "Star Fleet Technical Manual" listed the Exeter's registry as NCC-1706; this contradicts the registry given on screen, and must be disregarded.
↑ 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.
