Summary

At the same time as he took command of the Titan, Riker married his long-term lover Deanna Troi. She also joined the Titan as the ship's counselor and diplomatic officer. (Star Trek Nemesis; Star Trek: Titan: Taking Wing)

During the first year of Riker's command, Titan helped rescue the USS Cerritos, who was under attack by the Pakleds. (LD: "No Small Parts")
