USS Sovereign (prototype)

The USS Sovereign is one of the most advanced starships in the Federation.

Background
It was created after the Battle of Wolf 359 as a ship designed to defend against the Borg, similarly to the Defiant. It featured ablative armor, regenerative shielding, bio-neural gel packs, and an enhanced deflector system. The ship was tested after the USS Pegasus was retrieved, and did poorly because of a power drain caused by the enhanced deflector system, and the malfunction of the regenerative shielding system.

Current Assignment
Sovereign is currently under the command of Captain Lewis and is assigned as a defense and exploration vessel at Unity One Starbase.
