The USS Curry (NCC-42254) was a 24th century Federation starship, a Curry-class[1] light cruiser[2] and the prototype of its class[1] in Starfleet service in the 2370s decade. The ship was assembled from various classes to fight the Dominion. (DS9 episode: "A Time to Stand")
Specifications[]
To compensate quickly for losses sustained by Starfleet in the Dominion War in the 2370s, the Starfleet Reactivation Plan of 2367 was redirected towards constructing ships of the Frankenstein Fleet. Beyond reactivation and refitting 23rd century Miranda- and Excelsior-class starships, the Frankenstein Fleet specifically included incomplete vessels combined into functioning starships. (Star Trek Adventures module: Gamma Quadrant Sourcebook)
Around stardate 73XX.6 in 2270, the Curry was rated a level 5 battle group light cruiser. It featured room for four senior officers and slots for five weapons or additional systems. Its deflector shields were rated 535, while the structural integrity field, or hull strength, topped at 690. (ST video game: Trexels mission: "Skirmish")
Service history[]
As part of Federation Starfleet operations in the Trexelian Expanse, the USS Curry participated in the war games conducted by Starfleet and allied vessels from the 23rd and 24th centuries. (ST video game: Trexels mission: "Skirmish")
The Curry also saw action in conflicts with the Klingon Empire, Cardassian Union and Breen Confederacy. (ST video game: Trexels missions: "Events", "Breen Barrier")
The damaged Curry in 2374.
In early 2374, three months into a Dominion War filled with battles of engaging and retreating from the Jem'Hadar, the Curry was one of the surviving ships of the Starfleet 2nd Fleet, and had suffered a massive hull breach to its primary hull. By this time, the Second Fleet had been reduced to a third of its original size. Another survivor in the fleet was the Raging Queen. (DS9 episode: "A Time to Stand")
The USS Curry and the USS Raging Queen belonged to the same class. Both ships used components of the Miranda- and Excelsior-class cruisers, but on the Raging Queen the warp nacelles were connected to the rear of the saucer section with a pair of corrugated warp nacelles.
Later in the war, Captain Benjamin Sisko organized a major operation that successfully retook Deep Space 9 from the Dominion. However, the Second Fleet tried to liberate the Betazed system thrice from the Jem'Hadar. (TOSC Issue 116: "USS Curry")
