The USS Rapier (NCC-94004) was a 25th century Federation starship, a tier 2-rated Rapier-class escort prototype in Starfleet service from the 2400s to the 2410s decade. This was was initially lost on its maiden voyage. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
Service history[]
The Rapier in Sherman system in 2409.
The USS Rapier was the first ship of its class. In the year 2403, the Rapier was on its first mission to survey several planets in the Gamma Quadrant through the Bajoran wormhole, shortly after its commissioning. Starfleet believed the ship had been destroyed, but in 2409, picked up an emergency distress signal on a frequency that corresponded with the Rapier. Starfleet and the Romulan Republic sent a ship to investigate. The vessel had been found by a group in the Dominion led by the Vorta Eraun. Eraun hoped to repair the vessel and fly it to the Gamma Quadrant. Before that could happen, it was recovered by the ship sent by Starfleet and the surviving crew members saved. Upon being escorted back to the Alpha Quadrant, the ship docked at Deep Space 9, where the crew was temporarily put into one of the cargo bays for medical attention. Lieutenant Baker was among the crew who had survived the six years stranded in space. (STO - Cardassian Struggle mission: "Rapier")
Following its recovery, the Rapier was among the ships patrolling the space around Deep Space Station K-7 and Sherman's Planet. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Neutral Zone Diplomacy")
Flag officers of the Khitomer Alliance could deploy the Rapier alongside other spacecraft for assignments across the galaxy's quadrants as part of Operation: Delta Rising's four-quadrant strategy. (STO - New Dawn mission: "Admiralty System")
From 2410 onwards, the Rapier represented its class on the shipyards interfaces operated by New Romulus Shipyards, Klingon Defense Force Order of Builders and Starfleet Shipyards Operations at Alliance facilities across the Milky Way Galaxy. (STO - Refractions missions: "Explore the Flotilla", "The Hunt is On", "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
