USS Prometheus (NCC-71201)

USS Prometheus (NCC-71201)
The USS Prometheus (NCC-71201) was a Nebula-class starship in service in the 24th century, under the command of Lieutenant Commander Piersall.

Background
The Prometheus was scheduled to be either decomissioned or recomissioned under a new name in 2364 to allow the USS Prometheus (NX-59650) to enter service under that name without a great deal of fan fare. However with the re-emergence of the Romulans and first contanct with the Borg Starfleet Command left the Prometheus in service while the Prometheus class underwent a re-design.

In 2370, the Prometheus was assigned to assist Professor Gideon Seyetik in his project to re-ignite the dead star Epsilon 119. (DS9: "Second Sight")

By 2378 the Prometheus was finally either recomissioned or decomissioned to allow the USS Prometheus (NX-59650) to enter service.
