USS Intrepid (NCC-74600)

For other uses, see Intrepid.

The USS Intrepid (NCC-74600) was a Federation starship, the prototype Intrepid-class cruiser in Starfleet service in the late 24th century. (Star Trek: The Magazine; TNG video game: Starfleet Command III manual)

Service history and disposition[]

Construction of the Intrepid began at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards in the 2360s decade, and she was to be the first Federation starship to be equipped with bio-neural circuitry, a new development which was designed to replace isolinear chips and speed up computer response time. The Intrepid was also to be equipped with variable geometry warp nacelles, which were designed to be less harmful to space and subspace than standard warp nacelles. (Star Trek: The Magazine; TNG video game: Starfleet Command III manual)

In the year 2369, Lieutenant Junior Grade Veronica Stadi was assigned as a test pilot aboard Intrepid, where she increased piloting efficiency by 33%. While piloting Intrepid on a test run near Alpha Draconis in 2370, the starship encountered a previously uncharted quantum filament. Stadi managed to maneuver around the filament, preventing damage and destruction. (ST video game: Starship Creator)

In early 2370, the Intrepid and the USS Serapis were dispatched to the K'Trall Empire to assist the USS Enterprise-D in driving out the Romulans from the area. (TNG novel: Blaze of Glory)

Also in 2370, Commander Donald Kaplan, the Intrepid's chief engineer, had a friendly rivalry with Geordi La Forge, who was chief engineer of the Enterprise at the time, over whose ship had more efficient power conversion systems. (TNG episode: "Force of Nature")

By 2371, the Intrepid was under the command of Captain Terrance Riley. In this year, the Intrepid was dispatched to intercept the stolen museum ship, USS Yorktown, and persuading Captain Montgomery Scott to return home and give up his mission to attempt to rescue Ambassador Spock from the Romulans. However, after a brief discussion between Scott and Riley, Riley allowed Yorktown to continue onwards. (TNG novel: Crossover)

25th century[]

In the year 2409, the Intrepid went missing near star system NGC-2447. A special task force dispatched by Admiral D'Vak found the location to be the site of the Undine Terradome, and Intrepid was presumed destroyed. (STO - Borg Advance mission: "Undine Terradome")

The USS Intrepid (NCC-74600-A) was launched to replaced the lost vessel. In 2410, the Intrepid-A represented its class in the Starfleet Shipyards Operations interface. Later that year, the original Intrepid returned. The fleet-rated refit of the Intrepid-class LRSV was represented by the USS Intrepid (NCC-74600-B). (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")

Khitomer Alliance flag officer in, or aligned with, Starfleet, deployed Intrepid 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)

At some point, the Intrepid was part of Federation-Klingon engagements involving vessels from different cultures and eras. (ST video game: Adversaries)

Alternate histories[]

First Splinter timeline[]

By mid-2376, the Intrepid was under the command of Walter Emick. During the Gateways Crisis, Emick participated in a holographic conference with many other starship and station CO's including Jean-Luc Picard, Mackenzie Calhoun, Elizabeth Shelby, and Kira Nerys. (DS9 - Gateways novel: Demons of Air and Darkness)

In 2379, the Intrepid was one of several starships that were assigned to Star Fleet Battle Group Omega and dispatched to Sector 1045 along the Romulan Neutral Zone in the hopes of stopping and destroying Praetor Shinzon and the Reman warbird Scimitar. Fortunately, the USS Enterprise-E barely managed to destroy the vessel before she breached Federation space. (TNG movie: Star Trek Nemesis)

In 2380, the Intrepid was sent on border patrol near Outpost 22, where Captain Emick and the crew of the Intrepid stopped the Reman vessel, Vkruk, from ramming the outpost. (ST novel: Articles of the Federation)
