The Federation Starship Xenophon was a Marklin class destroyer, and was commissioned circa 2185. On Reference Stardate 1/9405.29 (29 May 2194), the Xenophon, commanded by Captain Kelvar Garth, aka Garth of Izar, spotted a Klingon D-4 class cruiser near Axanar. A confrontation with the Klingon ship led to the discovery of a Klingon occupation force at Axanar, and the resulting Battle of Axanar sparked the Four Years War. The Xenophon was badly damaged in the battle,[1] and was decommissioned.[2][3]

  3. The commissioning date of 1/9211 given in the "Federation Ship Recognition Manual" (2nd Ed.) for the Larson-class Xenophon conflicts with "The Four Years War," which established that the Marklin-class Xenophon was still in active service at least until the Battle of Axanar on 1/9405, where it was badly damaged. This entry has been adjusted to allow for that ship to be decommissioned after the battle, and for its name to be passed on to the new Larson-class vessel later that year.
