U.S.S. Stargazer NCC-2893
The Constellation class Starship Stargazer was commissioned on Reference Stardate 2/7412[2] (December 2332).[Notes 1] In 2233, Lieutenant Jean-Luc Picard took command of the Stargazer when the ship's captain was killed, and was later offered a permanent promotion and command of the vessel for his actions.[3] Picard remained in command of the Stargazer for more than two decades.[1]
During an exploratory mission to Sector 21503, the Stargazer was attacked by Cardassian forces, and barely escaped.[4] In 2354, the Stargazer visited Chalna.[5] On Reference Stardate 2/9303 (March 2355),[Notes 2] the Stargazer was apparently destroyed near the Maxia Zeta system by what was later learned to be a Ferengi vessel. Nearly a decade years later, DaiMon Bok returned the ship's remains to Picard, now in command of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, as part of a revenge plot against Picard for his part in the death of Bok's son, who commanded the Ferengi ship that the Stargazer had originally encountered.[1]
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.
- ↑ The FASA supplement, "Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual," gave the date of the Stargazer's loss at Maxia Zeta as Reference Stardate 2/9303, which normally would work out as March 2351; this date is mostly contradicted on-screen as 2355, however, and the Earth calendar date was adjusted to reflect this, without altering the original Reference Stardate.
