USS Crucial

The USS Crucial was one of seven ships in a small fleet assigned to the Flortarios sector to protect against the Dominion. Shortly after the Dominion threat, the ship was put to deep space assignments. (, Star Trek: Crucial)

History
In 2375, the Crucial and the small fleet were at Flortarios III where all the Captains of the Fleet had become hostages at a reception. (: "The Bajoran Trove")

In 2377, the Crucial made first contact with the Ceavon.

Three weeks later, the Crucial attempted to take down the USS Phoenix-X with other ships of the small fleet when the Phoenix-X was taken over by alien influence. (: "Loyalties, Part I")

In 2380, the Crucial assisted the USS Hijinx in dealing with the Gordarion threat at Saturn. (Star Trek: Hijinx)

In late 2382, on stardate 59871.9, the Crucial came under constant attacks by the Orion Syndicate. This was caused by their attempting to help the USS Stilo repay their debts. The Crucial was in critical condition. (Star Trek: Crucial)

In 2384, the Crucial was sent on a mission to escort a Vendoth Ambassador to Rochani III, when they were attacked by Arkarians on their way there. Commander Seifer and Doctor Lox responded to the Crucial`s distress call while in the runabout Iroh at the time, helping to disable the Arkarian ship. The Crucial eventually made it to Rochani III, where a pre-knowledge of its existence was confirmed: that it was inhabited by Vendoth and the survivors of the thought-lost USS Dark Glory. The Ambassador and the Vendoth soon turned against the Federation, with a boarding party beaming onto the Crucial to take it over. Fortunately, the Vendoth battle crusier, Th'ter'dek, dropped out of a vortex nearby and took on the Crucial`s boarding party and all the other Vendoth, before escaping into deep space. The Crucial was left to escort the survivors of the Dark Glory back to Starbase 12. (: "Remnants")
