The USS Destiny (NX-95600) was a 25th century Federation science vessel starship, the Destiny-class deep space science vessel prototype in Starfleet service from the 2400s decade. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
History and disposition[]
The ship, alongside the USS Trident and the USS Oracle, was conceived as a science department vessel, designed with the most advanced Starfleet technology. In the early 25th century, the original three DSSVs were larger than most science vessels and could accommodate a larger crew and advanced engineering facilities, enabling the DSSV to undertake extended missions.

Together with the USS Emissary and USS Dervish, the Destiny visited a gas-rich nebula in deep space. (STO website: Ship Name Winners)
By the year 2409, the Destiny and other DSSVs saw active duty during the Federation-Klingon War of 2405-2410. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock", STO - Empire mission: "Welcoming the Federation")
The USS Destiny could be deployed by the admiralty for assignments with other ships. (STO mission: "New Dawn" game mechanic: "Admiralty System")
In Starfleet Shipyard Operations shipyard interfaces, the Destiny visually represented its class from 2410 onwards. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")

Background[]
- The Destiny ship and its class were named in a USA-only contest in 2009, before the launch of Star Trek Online in 2010.[3] On a message board, erased when the game forum was revamped, the Ship Name Winner explained he named Destiny after his sister, who had perished in a car accident.
