The USS Kirov (NCC-1751) was a Federation starship, an Excelsior-class cruiser in Starfleet service in the 23rd and 24th century.
Service history and disposition[]
During an era of militaristic tension, Kirov was initially equipped as a battlecruiser (BCJ in the New Jersey-subclass) in the 2280s and/or 2290s decades. (ST video games: Starfleet Command, Starfleet Command II: Empires at War, Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates)
- Although not listed as such, presumably Kirov would also have previously been the lead ship prototype of the Kirov-subclass as well.
By the 24th century, Kirov 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 SFC1 and 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.
