The USS Sutherland (NCC-91800) was a 25th century Federation science vessel, prototype for the Sutherland-class advanced research vessel starship in Starfleet service in the early 2410s decade. The ship was based on the Nebula-class starship USS Sutherland. (STO - Agents of Yesterday mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
History[edit | edit source]
Following the ravages of the Iconian War in 2410, the Khitomer Alliance tasked the Advanced Starship Design Bureau to replace the spacecraft losses suffered by Alliance fleets. (STO Issue 05: "U.S.S. Buran NCC-96400")
Starfleet, the Klingon Defense Force and the Romulan Republic Navy cooperated in the development of new tier 6 advanced research vessels, based on the Nebula-class science vessel and existing sister classes. The Sutherland represented the Federation's Sutherland class. It's KDF counterpart was the Naj'Sov-class research vessel IKS Naj'Sov. The RRF fielded the RRW Laeosa, prototype of the Laeosa-class research warbird. (STO website: Science Modern Bundle Announcement)
Each of the three prototypes was equipped with the new tachyon particle field console. (STO - Agents of Yesterday mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
The hull of the Sutherland consisted of Andromeda-class components in a Nebula-class configuration. The exploration cruiser USS Andromeda had been launched in 2409 and proven successful. (STO Issue 03: "U.S.S. Andromeda NCC-92100")
The USS Sutherland could be deployed by the admiralty for assignments with other ships. (STO video game: New Dawn game mechanic: "Admiralty System")
In Starfleet Shipyard Operations shipyard interfaces, the Sutherland visually represented its class from 2410 onwards. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
