The USS Pollux was a 28th century Federation starship assigned to Starbase 001, which took part in the Federation-Alliance War. (Star Trek: 001)
History[]
In 2752, the Pollux was sent on a mission to seek out and rescue the USS Domtar, which had gone missing close to Alliance space a week prior in the Old Neutral Zone. In mid-transwarp, the crew of the Pollux were hailed and warned to leave by an aging and senile Klingon on an ancient K'Vort-class Klingon Bird-of-Prey. Upon reaching the coordinates of the last known location for the Domtar, the Pollux was ambushed by the IRW Rukorna which temporarily disabled the Pollux with a paralysis field weapon, with minimal effect. After several crew were rescued, the Romulan warbird decloaked again and engaged in a quick fire-fight. When the Pollux didn't fall for their tactical trap, the warbird warped away. ("New Beginnings")
When Starbase 001 was knocked into a subspace realm inhabited by subspace aliens and attacked by an Alliance battlecruiser, the Pollux and the USS Gambit coordinated a defense routine in which the Pollux would appear damaged and lure the Alliance ship into a false sense of victory. Both ships then disabled the enemy battlecruiser to their own victory. ("Alone")
Systems[]
The Pollux had what was considered a previous generational propulsion system of matter/anti-matter reaction. It was also capable of transwarp. ("New Beginnings")
