The USS Gettysburg (NCC-1801) was a Federation starship, an Excelsior-class cruiser in service to Starfleet in the 23rd and 24th century. This ship was one of a number of spacecraft named for the city of Gettysburg on Earth's North American continent and the famous Gettysburg Address given there during the United States' Civil War.
Service history and disposition[]
During an era of militaristic tension, Gettysburg was initially equipped as a guided weapon battlecruiser (BCG in the Kirov-subclass) in the 2280s and/or 2290s decades. (ST video games: Starfleet Command, Starfleet Command II: Empires at War, Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates)
By the 24th century, Gettysburg 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 selected for a video game playing field ship in the SFC game series, and is placed randomly by the game software each time the ship appears, as a battlecruiser in the SFC2 games and as a cruiser in SFC3. Given the 90+ year gap between the two segments of the game series, it is possible these are two separate vessels, but they are listed together here for the purposes of this wiki.
