At some point before the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2367, the Tereshkova had been mothballed. Following the Starfleet Reactivation Plan of the same year, the Tereshkova was recovered. A single Constitution-class warp nacelle was attached to ship to serve as the Oberth-class vessel's secondary hull. The Tereshkova was then deployed in the Dominion War as part of the Frankenstein Fleet. (Adventures RPG module: Gamma Quadrant Sourcebook, chapter 04)
In the 2370s, Captain Zhang Wei was in command and Ensign Frel served aboard as an exemplary officer. Following another Frel's theft of a runabout from Mars Station Ceta, Starfleet Command suspended Ensign Frel's credit stipend. Captain Zhang sent a subspace transmission to the Starfleet Administrator to have the Tereshkova-Frel's credentials reinstated. (Adventures RPG module: Gamma Quadrant Sourcebook)
