Patriot

General Notes
The USS PATRIOT is one of the most famous starships in the modern era. During it's six year career it performed numerous first contacts, several classified missions, and played an important role in galactic politics.

The last Galaxy class vessel commissioned by Starfleet before the end of it's production run in 2410, the Patriot existed at a strange time for the class. Starfleet had realized the class no longer served its original function, but had not yet decided what to do with those that remained in service. The Patriot underwent 26 minor refits during it's career, and served as an experimental ground for several new technologies, some of which were eventually implemented for widespread use in the fleet, like the 3D viewscreen, and some of which were ultimately rejected, like the controversial STANLEY program.

After its destruction it was honored with the commissioning of the USS PATRIOT-A

Timeline of Important Events
2410[1.5]0427    USS Patriot launched under the leadership of Captain Ian M. Astbury. Assigned to the 3rd fleet operating out of SB 56. Mission profile is patrol of the Cardassian/Klingon border.

2411[1.6]0215    First Contact with the Supervisors

2412[1.7]0125    Participated in the Battle or Coriana III in the which the combined forces of the major powers of the Milky Way Galaxy defeated the Kem D’Neel.

2412[1.7]0901    First Official Contact with the Agent Z, an extra-galactic race with technology dwarfing even the Borg, and their enemies the Agent A. (In the course of the mission the crew came to believe their actual first contact with the Agent Z happened sometime before this, but their memories were erased and there is no way to know exactly when this occurred.)

2414[1.9]0205    Captain Steve Carling assumes command. 2414[1.9]0908    The Patriot plays a central role in two month conflict between an alliance of the Borg and the Sosstan tribes, and their enemies the Neo-collective and the Dominion. The event results in the destruction of the Neo-Collective, and the Founder’s homeworld, and drastically changes the balance of power in the Gamma Quadrant.

2415[2.0]0201    The Patriot plays a key role in putting down the Klingon uprising led by the False Mongol, Sovek. This conflict would serve as a precursor to the Mongol War, which would dominate Klingon politics for the next few years.

2415[2.0]0725    First contact with the Ssorrianns, extra-dimensional beings who had traveled to our dimension to see if the Federation was fit to join the Dimensional Alliance.

2415[2.0]0904    Patriot’s saucer section is donated to the Ssorrianns after an entity called the Ssorah, the sum of all the knowledge of their race, merges with its circuitry.

2415[2.0]1004    Starbase 56 is forced to eject its core after terrorists set it to overload. Patriot’s secondary hull is in orbit, and severely damaged by the shockwave. Her warp core is donated to the station in order to sustain life support until a permanent replacement can be obtained.

2415[2.0]1015    Secondary hull is deemed unsalvageable and destroyed.
