Service history and disposition[]
The USS Eureka in 2377.
In the 24th century, the name Eureka was carried by the Steamrunner-class heavy frigate USS Eureka. In the 2370s, this Eureka was involved in repelling two Borg invasions. (ST video games: Armada, Armada II)
The new Eureka had entered service by the 2400s. Its design was an evolution of the venerable Excelsior-class heavy cruiser of the 23rd century.
The Eureka in 2401.
In the year 2401, the USS Stargazer investigated a spatial anomaly discovered by the USS Avalon. When a massive Borg ship emerged from the anomaly, the Eureka was part of the armada Starfleet built up to reinforce the Stargazer and Admiral Jean-Luc Picard. When the Borg Queen boarded the Stargazer, the Borg Collective attempted to seize control of the fleet. Picard self destructed the Stargazer to stop the Borg and save the armada.
