Service history[]
In 2268 the ship was commanded by captain Khod, it was dispatched to the planet Atraz, located in the Federation-Klingon Neutral Zone to intercept the USS Enterprise while it was engaged in a rescue operation. (TOS novel: Lost to Eternity)
Revenge engaged a Critters starship
In 2289, Revenge and T'Cel's ChR Phoenix joined forces with James T. Kirk's USS Enterprise-A to plan a clandestine operation to expose the "Critters". The Critters were a race which had surreptitiously attacked ships from the Klingon Empire, Federation, Romulan Star Empire, Gorn Hegemony, and First Federation in a sector near the Romulan Neutral Zone throughout the 23rd century. Kor insisted that Revenge play the role of Trojan horse bait to attract the Critters. He was intent on regaining honor for his QuchHa' people, who were disgraced when a Klingon Dreadnought class vessel was lost to the Critters in 2273.
Starfleet lieutenant Jamie Finney was challenged by officer Khadri and won. Kor insisted that Finney rightly assume Khadri's position aboard the Revenge, and she accepted. She fought alongside Kor's crew during their engagement with the Critters.
The operation was successful and resulted in the destruction of the "Critters" starship. Revenge was destroyed during the battle, but survivors beamed to the Enterprise. (TOS comic: "Debt of Honor")
