The USS Hermes (NCC-585) was a 23rd century Federation starship, an Akula-class scout in Starfleet service in the 2280s and 2290s decades.
Service history and disposition[]
The Federation was a successor to a previous ship commissioning, the prototype Federation scout USS Hermes. (ST reference: Star Fleet Technical Manual)
- Since both the Hermes-class scout prototype and this Akula-class scout share the same registry number, it is possible and likely this vessel represents a refit and the two are the same vessel. However, there is precedent for successor vessels being assigned like registries, so this ship has its own individual article for the purposes of this wiki.
This USS Hermes was equipped as a standard scout (SC). (ST video games: Starfleet Command II: Empires at War, Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates)
- No history or definitive fate is established for this vessel as its name was randomly selected for a dreadnought by the SFC game software.
Hermes was succeeded in name by the Antares-class USS Hermes. (TNG)
