USS Hainan (NCC-68069)

The USS Hainan was a Federation heavy cruiser in service during the late 24th Century.

Hainan was brought in for a refit in October 2375. Captain Roger Decatur was transferred from the USS Ticonderoga (NCC-62926) at the start of the refit. Roslyn transferred with him as part of the refit, eventually becoming the chief engineer when the Hainan returned to service. (: "Departure," "Frontiers")

In June 2377, around Stardate 54098, the Hainan picked up the escape pods from the USS Nimitz (NCC-74215) after a compromised system forced the Nimitz crew to abandon ship.

At the end of August of 2377, Stardate 54300.5, the Hainan assisted the USS Ottawa (NCC-75057) in protecting a Cardassian freighter. During the engagment, a "warbug" deliberately rammed the Hainan, resulting in significant damage. Out of 435 crew memebers, 256 survived and were picked up by the Ottawa.

An after-action report prepared by USS Baldwin (NCC-2013) legal affaris officer Sara Jackson confirmed that no wrongdoing occured by the crew of the Hainan or the Ottawa
