The USS Rademaker (NCC-82603) was a Federation Rademaker-class multi-mission strategic explorer starship in Starfleet service in the early 25th century. It was the prototype of a Vesta-class variant subclass. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")

Service history and disposition[]

Rademaker in 2409

The Rademaker in 2409.

In the 2370s decade, Captain Rademaker piloted Starfleet's quantum slipstream drive prototype USS Spirit during the first test run of its revolutionary engine. (ST reference: Ships of the Line)

The Rademaker entered service in 2409 and was the prototype for the Rademaker-class multi-mission explorer.

From 2410 onward, the Rademaker represented its class in the Starfleet Shipyards Operations interface. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")

In that year, the newly launched USS Esquiline was configured as an engineering division vessel and based on the Rademaker strategic multi-mission explorer, itself a subclass of the Vesta. The Esquiline was also specialized in strategy, and equipped with an omni-directional tachyon wave siphon launcher. (STO - Reckoning mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock", STO website: Reckoning: T6 Multimission Explorers Stats!)

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