The USS Esquiline (NCC-82701) was a 25th century Federation starship, the prototype of the Esquiline-class multi-mission explorer in Starfleet service in the 2410s decade. (STO - Reckoning mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
- The low registry number may indicate the ship was launched in the 24th century.
Service history and disposition[]
A Vesta-class multi-mission explorer USS Esquiline was in service in the 2380s decade.[1] As part of the Project Full Circle fleet, the Esquiline was lost to the Omega Continuum in the year 2381.[2] (VOY novels: Full Circle, The Eternal Tide)
In the year 2410, the replacement USS Esquiline was configured as an engineering division vessel and based on the Rademaker-class strategic multi-mission explorer, itself a subclass of the Vesta. The Esquiline was also specialized in strategy, and equipped with an omni-directional tachyon wave siphon launcher. This siphon would drain the deflector shields of an opponent, and shore up the explorer's own shields by generating secondary shields. (STO - Reckoning mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock", STO website: Reckoning: T6 Multimission Explorers Stats!)
From the year 2410 onward, the Esquiline represented its class in the Starfleet Shipyards Operations interface. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
Khitomer Alliance flag officer in, or aligned with, Starfleet, deployed Esquiline for missions around the galaxy's four quadrants as part of the four-quadrant strategy. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock", admiralty system)
