USS Lexington (NCC-61832)



The USS Lexington (NCC-61832) was a Nebula-class Federation starship in service in the late 24th century.

The Lexington was launched in the late 2350s under the command of Captain James Turner. In 2358, the Lexington took aboard Ensign Eric Styles for medical treatment after he was held prisoner on PojjanPiraKot for four years following the evacuation of the Federation Embassy in 2354. A special award ceremony was held aboard the Lexington and Styles was awarded the Federation Medal of Valor. (TNG novel: Double Helix, #3: Red Sector).

By 2367, Captain Gilaad Ben Zoma was commanding the Lexington, when she rendezvoused with the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) so that Ben Zoma and security chief, "Pug" Joseph, could attend the installation of their old friend and Stargazer crewmate, Morgen, as the new ruler of Daa'V. (TNG novel:Reunion).

In 2370, the Lexington rendezvoused with the Enterprise to take aboard medical supplies for transport to the Tarranko Colony. (TNG: "Thine Own Self").

After exploring uncharted space for several years, the Lexington puts in at Deep Space 9 for repairs in 2371. (DS9: "Explorers").

In 2371, Captain Eberling assumed command of the Lexington and commanded her until 2373, when he was killed in action at the start of the Dominion War. Eberling was replaced by Captain Heather Anderson. (SCE eBook: "Oaths").

Alternate timelines
In the Pendragon timeline, the Lexington was one of the starships that fought against Admiral Leyton's forces in the Federation Civil War. She participated in the Second Battle of Deep Space Nine, where Captain Eberling was killed. Her first officer, Matthew Seilback received a battlefield promotion and commanded the ship until the end of the war.

From 2374 to 2376, the Lexington was assigned to patrol the Federation border in the vicinity of Deep Space 6.

In 2377, the Lexington was reassigned to Starbase 36 near the Klingon border, after the Second Klingon Civil War threatened to spill into Federation territory as marauders attacked border colonies. (Star Trek: Pendragon)
