The USS Ixion was a Saber-class Federation starship re-launched after 2380 after its predecessor starship was stolen by genetically created aliens. With this re-launch, the Ixion switched to being assigned to Task Force Zeta, home-based at Starbase 78. (Star Trek: Phoenix-X)

History

Excalibur-class

In 2375, the Ixion was one of seven ships in a 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 captains 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, never to be seen again. ("Civilization")

Saber-class

Shortly after the loss of the ship, the crew of the Ixion were given a new class, but because the registry differed, this second ship did not receive the usual "-A" postfix. Additionally, the ship and crew were re-assigned to a new task force, Task Force Zeta, under the command of Captain Aeris. As such, the Ixion was known for running minor errands for Aeris. In 2390, the Ixion assisted in fighting a divergent-Hirogen threat to the Federation. ("Into Harshness")
