USS Sovereign (prototype)

The USS Sovereign (NCC-73811) (also registered as NX-90201 and NCC-17454) was the prototype for the starships in service to Starfleet in the 24th century. She was commissioned in 2372 as the first of its class. 

From 2372 through 2375, Captain Montgomery Scott served as the vessel's chief engineer, part of that time under Captain George Sanders. The ship's chaplain during this time was named Blackwell. 


 * Sanders must have taken command in 2373 or later, because prior to that he was in command of the USS Malinche (NCC-38997), as per the .

The Sovereign's blueprints and schematics were incorporated into the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)'s computer systems. Unfortunately, many of the systems used aboard the Sovereign and Enterprise were different, especially offensive and defensive capabilities. 

When the Soverign was tested, the prototype regenerative shields failed. However, the Sovereign became the baseline for 2 Anti-Borg design technologies: The regerative shields on the Prometheus class and the Defiant class Ablative armor.

Sovereign was assigned to the Maelstrom in 2374 for research. In 2378, she was slated for a massive refit with an escort of 2 Klingon Bird-of-Preys. She was attacked by Romulan Warbirds but was saved by the USS Dauntless (NCC-71879).

The crew of the Dauntless was transferred to the Sovereign and helped by turning down the Cardassian rebellion. She was assigned to the Maelstrom until the present.
