Service history and disposition[]

In 2370, the Magellan was assigned to investigate the disappearance of the USS Alcubierre in the Elicona sector. After its recovery, the Magellan towed the Alcubierre to Starbase 117. (Star Trek Adventures RPG module: A Star Beyond the Stars)

In the year 2374, the Magellan participated in Operation Return to retake Deep Space 9 from the Dominion. The Magellan, along with the USS Venture was assigned to protect the USS Defiant, but both took heavy damage. (DS9 episode: "Sacrifice of Angels")

In 2376, the Magellan participated in the resolution to the Iconian gateway crisis. In the effort to reach her destination in time, one of the Magellan's dilithium crystal relays blew out, and even afterwards, Chief Engineer Conklin pushed the ship's engines past the redline. Repairs were estimated to take a week at the nearest starbase. (ST - Gateways- What Lay Beyond short story: "The Other Side")

Though unnamed, What Lay Beyond specified Magellan's commanding officer at the time as male.

In December, 2377, the Magellan had docked at Deep Space 9 for maintenance and repairs. (DS9 novel: Ascendance)
