The USS Reuben James was a Constitution-class Federation starship in service in the 23rd century. The ship was under the command of Commodore Jacob Ross. (ST video game: Star Trek Online)
History[]
In 2265, the Reuben James encountered a D7-class Klingon battlecruiser while patrolling near Drozana Station, and attacked it, believing it to be a House of Duras-aligned vessel that had attacked a colony in the Gliese system. In fact the vessel was a time traveling starship from 2409 using a holographic masking system, and the Reuben James was swiftly disabled. (STO mission: "Night of the Comet")
