U.S.S. Sheridan NCC-4463 (FASA)

Larson class

The Federation Starship Sheridan was a Baker class destroyer. On its maiden flight in March 2272, the Sheridan experienced a critical overload in its warp drive system. All backup systems failed to correct the problem; it was decided to jettison the engine, because an uncontrolled matter/antimatter reaction was underway and could not be stopped. The ejection systems also failed, and the ship was destroyed in the subsequent explosion. Three crewmembers who had taken refuge in a shuttle survived.
