USS Sovereign (prototype)

The USS Sovereign (NCC-73811) is one of the most advanced starships in the Federation.

Background
The Sovereign was created after the Battle of Wolf 359 as a ship designed to defend against the Borg, similar to the Defiant. It featured ablative armor, regenerative shielding, bio-neural gel packs, and an enhanced deflector system. The ship was tested after the USS Pegasus was retrieved, and did poorly because of a power drain caused by the enhanced deflector system and the malfunction of the regenerative shielding system. However, another few years of work sorted out those problems, and the Sovereign successfully completed a number of assignments, most notably in the Kessok Incident in 2376.

Previous Assignments
During late 2385, the Sovereign was assigned to Unity One Starbase under Captain Puto. The ship defended the station against two Borg attacks and then tracked fleeing ships from the Battle of Gateway to the Azure Nebula, and made first contact with the Iccobar. Shortly after this mission, the Sovereign was re-assigned and replaced by the USS Odyssey-A.

Current Assignment
The Sovereign is currently assigned to Beta Quadrant exploration.
