}}The '''USS ''Ixion''''' was a [[Federation]] [[starship]] in the [[24th century]] which was stolen by artificially created aliens, but later retrieved by [[Starfleet]]. Upon its return, it was heavily refitted into a {{class|Saber}} starship. With this re-launch, the ''Ixion'' switched to being assigned to ''[[Task Force Zeta]]'', under the general command of [[Starbase 78]]. ({{PNX}})

In [[2375]], the ''Ixion'' was one of seven ships in a [[Flame Squad|small task force]] assigned to the Flortarios system to protect against the [[Dominion]]. The ''Ixion'' and its crew were at [[Flortarios III]] when all the [[captain]]s of the task force became hostages at a reception to terrorists. ("[[The Bajoran Trove]]")

Shortly after the [[Dominion War]], the ''Ixion'' was put to deep space assignments. In [[2377]], while on a mission, the ''Ixion'' attempted to take down the {{uss|Phoenix-X}} with other ships of the task force when the ''Phoenix''-X was taken over by alien influence. ("[[Loyalties, Part I]]")

In [[2380]], the ''Ixion'' stopped off at [[Starbase 78]]. There they picked up [[Doctor]] [[Lox]] and brought him to an uninhabited planet renamed Eluvae Part II. The ship kept orbit as Lox used DNA samples to bring an extinct civilization back to life. Unfortunately, the humanoid group of this civilization, dubbed the New Eluvae, stole the ''Ixion'' on two consecutive occasions. The second time, they were successful and they transported the [[Starfleet]] crew off the ship to safety. The hijackers then escaped with the ship to explore the galaxy. ("[[Civilization (PNX episode)|Civilization]]")

===''Saber''-class===

Sometime on or before [[2390]], the ''Ixion'' was recovered by [[Starfleet]], left, seemingly, abandoned by its previous hijackers. It was then refitted into an ''Ixion''-class starship by [[Traveler]] [[Wayfar]] and [[Captain]] [[Yelg]], using space/time altering techniques. ("[[For the World is Worldly and Such]]")

The ''Ixion'' was re-assigned to ''[[Task Force Zeta]]'', where it would perform menial tasks for the group and Captain [[Aeris]]. In [[2390]], the ''Ixion'' assisted in fighting a divergent-[[Hirogen]] threat to the Federation. ("[[Into Harshness]]")

*The ''Ixion'' was described as an {{class|Excalibur}} starship in photos and description in its bio on previous incarnations of the ''Star Trek: Phoenix-X'' website. The ship as an ''Excalibur''-class was never mentioned in-story, but was said to have been refitted from a "previous class" in "[[For the World is Worldly and Such]]".

*The USS ''Ixion'' was named after [[Wikipedia:Ixion|Ixion]], the father of [[Wikipedia:Centaur|centaurs]] in [[Wikipedia:Greek mythology|Greek mythology]].
