Siva Flight II
In 2250, the remaining Siva and Saladin vessels, as well as eight Monoceros from the Hermes-class scouts, received upgrades of the external hull, warp nacelle, pylon, and weaponry. The new PB-32 nacelle provided cruise and maximum speeds of warp 6 and warp 8, while the weaponry was completely replaced: the torpedo systems were modified to support forced-intermix warhead supply equipment and the six phase cannons were replaced by an equal number of less massive—but far more adaptive—Type VII phaser emitters. The bridge was provided a lower target profile by being “sunk” half a deck into the surrounding superstructure. And, for utilitarian purposes, a powerful tractor beam emitter was mounted on the pylon’s trailing edge, midway between the saucer and the nacelle.

Orion Press[]
Alexander and a sister ship, USS Darius, were destroyed by an energy being from another universe during a research mission in the binary system of Procyon and Phardos. (Orion Press: "The Balance of Nature")
Tamerlane[]
Alexander was assigned to the 23 Light Armored Combat Group (M) in 2243 as the Hapspear Conflict began to grow. Assigned as unit 109, she served with distinction throughout the war and even participated in the Battle of Donatu V with the remaining members of "Wolf Pack" 23 which included the destroyer Tamerlane. (Tamerlane: "The Champion")
