The Premonition class was a 24th century Federation starship class, a timeship in Starfleet service built in an alternate timeline in which the Federation had been almost completely destroyed by a Borg invasion begun in the year 2376. (ST video game: Armada mission: "Premonitions")
History and specifics[]
The class was similar in size and configuration to the Sovereign-class, though was a distinctly different design - the most notable difference being a third, pink hued, nacelle supported by struts coming out of the top of the saucer section, presumably the vessels' temporal drive. (ST video game: Armada mission: "Premonitions")
The Premonition-class was capable of time travel, using its temporal drive to open temporal gates, and could also generate gates for other vessels to travel through. In addition to phasers and photon torpedoes the class was also endowed with other temporal technologies, including the Gemini effect which could create a temporal duplicate of a targeted vessel, and the ability to generate a temporal stasis field which could freeze an area of space in time. (ST video game: Armada missions: "A Line in the Sand", "Once and Again")
The only known vessel of this class was the USS Premonition, which under the command of Captain Thaddius Deming was sent back in time to try and prevent the Borg from destroying the Federation. The Premonition was pursued through time by two Borg spheres, but was rescued by the USS Enterprise-E and was able to deliver its warning of the impending invasion. (ST video game: Armada mission: "Premonitions")
Despite this the Borg still initially succeeded in assimilating Earth. However, thanks to the Premonition's presence the Enterprise was able to travel back in time to further intervene, and this time successfully stop the invasion. Before returning to her own time the Premonition made one more trip further back in time to prevent the Borg from destroying the USS Enterprise-D at an earlier date in an attempt to stop Jean-Luc Picard from ever interfering in their plans. (ST video game: Armada)
Alternate timelines[]
Assimilated Premonition.
In the timeline where Locutus and the Borg Collective succeeded in assimilating Earth, the Premonition could be assimilated as well. The ship was still able to operate independently, and allow the Enterprise-E to go back in time and abort this course of events.
