USS Diponegoro (NCC-5322)

USS Diponegoro (NCC-5322) was an Abbé-class destroyer active in the 23rd and 24th centuries (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station)

The Diponegoro is commissioned in 2290; Capt. Sabrina Moyet is her first commanding officer (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station: "Heritage"). In 2292, Larisa el-Ibrahim transferred off USS Avenger to become executive officer on Diponegoro under Captain Moyet (Star Trek: Avenger: "Tales of the Kobayashi Maru: Rahadyan's Story").

Delegations from Shadowstar Station, as well as the starships Aceh, Corregidor, Lucid, Helin, Jayapura, Avenger and Diponegoro, attend the Zancmar Hodgkins Memorial Xenosociological Conference on Avalon in August, 2295. Raden, a Section 31 operative, also attends the conference, in the guise of a professor from the University of Makropyrios (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station: "Avalon").

In 2300, st the end of her second five-year mission as CO of Diponegoro, Moyet is promoted to fleet captain and is reassigned elsewhere. Cmdr. el-Ibrahim, is promoted to captain and becomes Chief of Staff at Starbase 10. Ilse Giordano, the second officer, is promoted to commander and first officer.

The Combined Services Special Operations Team (some documents refer to this as the Unified Response Force) assigned to Shadowstar Station is officially named Team Pegasus in March of 2301. Starfleet holds a tactical simulation, Exercise Vermilion Victorious, on the surface of Beta Miranda V. Among the ships and stations who have sent teams to participate are Ajax, Diponegoro, Fearless, Pandora, Shadowstar Station, Starbase 10 and T’Varian.

While patrolling the disputed Federation-Tholian border in 2308, a task force that includes the Diponegoro is engaged by a squadron of Tholian vessels. The lead vessel of the task force is destroyed and another ship disabled. Among the casualties is Diponegoro 's CO; Cmdr. Giordano takes command. The Tholians are heavily damaged with only one ship managing to return to its homespace. Upon return to Starbase 10, Giordano is granted command of the destroyer.

Among the Federation vessels lost or destroyed during the Tomed Incident of 2311 are Agamemnon, Star of Izar, Radetsky, Thurlefth, Denpasar and Diponegoro.

About 50 years later, another destroyer will be named USS Diponegoro.
