USS Speedwell

The USS Speedwell (NCC-4310) was a Federation cruiser starship in the 23rd century, entering Starfleet service in the 2270s.

In the 2270s, Speedwell was one of over a half-dozen Starfleet vessels, under the command of Commodore Jono Danilov, that intervened in a Romulan conflict that Captain James T. Kirk's USS Enterprise had become involved in, the Battle of Augo. Speedwell, along with USS Hemalat, USS al-Burak, USS Marathon, USS Lake Ponchartrain, USS Lake Onondoga, USS Kilimanjaro, USS San Diego and USS Dauntless all departed shortly after the engagement, with the only loss being Danilov's USS Ortisei.
