The USS Typhoon (NCC-96047) was a 24th century Federation starship, the tier 6-rated Typhoon-class temporal battlecruiser prototype in Starfleet service from the 2380s to the 2410s decade. In 2411, the Typhoon was the first ship equipped with the protonic snare projector. (STO website: Unparalleled: Command the Typhoon!)
Service history[]

The Typhoon combating Borg from alternate realities.
The USS Typhoon was constructed at Andoria in the 24th century as part of Starfleet's rush to develop "super capital" ships in the 2380s. The Typhoon was passed over by the larger Odyssey-class as Starfleet's next ship of the line. However, the Typhoon remained the largest starship launched from the Laikan Shipyards. Although briefly abandoned, the Typhoon spawned a class of its own that was cheaper to produce for Starfleet than the Odyssey. The Typhoon and its sister ships operated as a potential vanguard flagship in general and as a combat command ship in wartime. (STO website: Unparalleled: Command the Typhoon!)
In the year 2411, the Khitomer Alliance joined forces with the Aetherian Concordium due to a multiversal campaign by the Borg Kingdom. The Borg originated from the mirror universe and invaded the primary universe and fluidic space. The mirror universe Borg required advanced technology to counter. (STO - Kings & Queens mission: "Scorpion's Abyss")
This prompted Starfleet and the Alliance to complete a sixth generation refit of the Typhoon. The Typhoon was fitted with the protonic snare projector. This special weapon enabled the creation of a protonic energy field in combat that could ensnare a hostile target. The field grew by using replicator technology. (STO website: Unparalleled: Command the Typhoon!)
From 2411 onwards, the Typhoon represented its class on the shipyards interfaces operated by New Romulus Shipyards, Klingon Defense Force Order of Builders and Starfleet Shipyards Operations at Khitomer Alliance facilities across the Milky Way Galaxy. (STO - The Iconian War missions: "Explore the Flotilla", "The Hunt is On", "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
Flag officers of the Alliance could deploy the Typhoon 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")
