USS Constellation (NCC-1974)

The USS Constellation (NX-1974, later NCC-1974) was the lead ship of the Constellation class of Federation starship active from the late 23rd century and well into the late 24th century.


 * While not an official source, the Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual states that this vessel had a registry number of NCC-2500.

In 2293, the Constellation was undergoing certification trials at the time Operation Retrieve was proposed, and as such still had her NX registry prefix. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

In 2371, the Constellation was ordered to Deep Space 9 to transport a Jem'Hadar child to Starfleet for study. (DS9: "The Abandoned")

During the Dominion War in mid-2374, it was assigned to assist the USS Defiant in the search for survivors of the Cardassian attack on the USS Honshu. (DS9: "Waltz")


 * Neither the Constellation nor her class or registry number was seen in either DS9 episode, but only mentioned in dialogue. It is possible this Constellation'' was a different ship, but there is no evidence either way.
