For other uses, see Akira.

The USS Akira (NX-62497, later NCC-62497) was a 24th century Federation starship, an Akira-class heavy cruiser that entered Starfleet service in the 2360s decade. When she was commissioned in the year 2368, the Akira was the prototype for a new class of cruisers. (ST reference: Starship Spotter; Decipher RPG modules: Starfleet Operations Manual, Starships)

Service history and disposition[]

The hull configuration of this new breed of starship was based on the design as a homage to some of the earliest Starfleet exploratory vessels, such as the NX-class. The Akira was also designed to perform border defense duties, which many vessels did during the brief conflict between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. (CCG set: Second Edition)

This starship class was named after the anime film AkiraWP, according to The Star Trek Encyclopedia.
Akira-SOTL

In the Dominion War.

The Akira took part in the Dominion War. During one engagement, the Akira fired its phasers on a Jem'Hadar dreadnought pursuing the USS Centaur. (SOTL - Ships of the Line calendar: 2021 October image: "The Dominion Conflict Goes Hot")

Akira had been modified for service as a fleet cruiser in active service around the year 2378. (ST video game: Starfleet Command III)

No specific history or definitive final fate was established for this vessel as its name was randomly selected for a cruiser by the SFC3 games software, and is placed randomly each time the ship appears.

In 2401, the Akira joined a Starfleet armada coordinated by the Singularity to deflect a massive energy burst from a newly formed Transwarp conduit. (PIC Episode: "Farewell") Later the Akira participated in Frrontier Day celebrations in the Sol System. It was among the vessels siezed by the Borg Collective after its younger crew were assimilated by a Borg signal transmitted via Jack Crusher. (PIC episode: "Võx")
