The USS Somerville (NCC-1322) was a Federation starship, a Hernandez-class science vessel in Starfleet service in the 2250s decade. (DSC comic: "Discovery Annual 2018", STO website: Season 18: Awakening: New Intel Science Vessels!)
Service history[]
Discovering the spores.
Circa 2251-2252, Somerville dispatched an EV suited landing party in an unmapped asteroid belt when something caused the rocks to move. Unfortunately, the away team perished before they were beamed aboard, but the samples of fungi spores were turned over to researchers Paul Stamets and Justin Straal on Deneva. Somerville's captain hoped it was worth her team's sacrifice. (DSC comic: "Discovery Annual 2018")
The ship was in service in 2410, when it underwent a refit to tier 6 Fleet configuration, becoming the principal "Fleet Hernandez intel science vessel [T6]". (STO website: Season 18: Awakening: New Intel Science Vessels!)
Legacy[]
By 2261, the vessel had been succeeded in name by the USS Somerville (NCC-S471). (TOS novel: The Captain's Oath)
In 2410, a new USS Somerville was commissioned, based on the NCC-1322 design. The prototype of the Somerville-class was the fourth ship to bear the name. (STO website: Season 18: Awakening: Commissioning the U.S.S. Somerville)

Background[]
- The ship may be named for Earth places or people called Somerville.
- On July 31, 2019, StarTrek.com announced the introduction of the USS Somerville to Star Trek Online thanks to a cooperation between IDW Publishing and Cryptic Studios. The vessel was originally drawn by comic artist Angel Hernandez for the 2018 comic appearance. STO's concept artist Hector Ortiz designed the rest of the ship, which was then handed off to Tobias Richter for modelling.
