Service History
In 2259, the Exeter, under the command of Captain Britanny Mendez, makes first contact with the Chyrelkans. (TOS novel: Renegade)

By 2265, the Exeter was under the command of Ronald Tracey, and was sent to relieve the USS Endeavour on the Klingon border. (VAN novel: Harbinger)

In 2268, the Exeter visited the planet Omega IV on a survey mission. Captain Tracey led a landing party to the surface and discovered two groups of people, the Yangs and the Kohms, at war with each other. Tracey remained on the surface to talk to the Kohms while the rest of the landing party returned to the Exeter, the crew soon fell to a mysterious disease. Tracey survived on the surface, and believed that Omega IV was a fountain of youth and good health. His illusions were shattered, however, when the USS Enterprise responded to the distress call. (TOS episode: "The Omega Glory")

Following the incident on Omega IV, the Enterprise towed the Exeter to the nearest starbase where she was decontaminated and recrewed. The Exeter ' s new commander was Captain Douglas Newman.

In 2269, the Exeter transported two warp nacelles, destined for the USS Intrepid, to the Enterprise while it was undergoing repairs in orbit of Talin IV. (TOS novel: Prime Directive)

A few months later, the Exeter was ordered to participate in wargames with the USS Farragut and the Enterprise near Izell. The Enterprise was equipped with an experimental warp-powered shield technology. (TOS novel: First Frontier)

In 2270, the Exeter, under the command of Captain Andreoni, assisted the Enterprise, the USS Majestic and the USS Yorktown in keeping the experimantal transwarp drive from falling into enemy hands. (TOS novel: Fortunes of War, #2: Battlestations!)
