USS Ticonderoga (NCC-18861)

USS Ticonderoga (NCC-18861) is a Defiant Class, orignally built as a ship of the Federation Legion but on loan to Starfleet during the later stages of the Dominion War. It was manned by a Starfleet crew mostly from the USS Shiloh (NCC-74683) and a Federation Legion detachment.

The ''Ticonderoga lost most of it's Legionnaires during off-loading operations during the Battle of Hades VI. Shortly after this event the Ticonderoga was recalled by Starfleet and proceeded to Deep Space 9 to participate in the Battle of Cardassia Prime, the final battle of the Dominion War. However the Ticonderoga was lost and declared the last Federation Alliance vessel destroyed during the war. Higdon and a majority of his crew that survived were pick up by Chancellor Martok's flagship.
