Service history[]
24th century[]
An Ambassador-class heavy cruiser of the same refit configuration and with matching NCC registry number, the original USS Yamaguchi, participated in the Battle of Wolf 359 in the year 2367. (DS9 episode & novelization: Emissary)
That Yamaguchi was wrecked and effectively destroyed. (STO - Task Force Operation mission: "Battle of Wolf 359")
The new Yamaguchi had entered service by the time of the Dominion War. In 2375, the Yamaguchi was part of the Starfleet 12th Fleet. In that year, the Yamaguchi successfully breached the Dominion line in the Battle of Betazed. (Decipher RPG module: Starships)
25th century[]
In 2410, the Yamaguchi-class was designated a tier 6 support cruiser, and the Yamaguchi represented its class on the shipyard 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 Yamaguchi 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")
In the same year, the Yamaguchi was docked inside Earth Spacedock. (STO - Legacy of Romulus mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
Following the Battle of Excalbia on stardate 84999.22[3] in January 2411, which saw the prominent involvement of hero ships from the Federation's past and present, several Federation later other Khitomer Alliance ships underwent a refit to legendary starship[4] qualifications. (STO - J'Ula's Discovery missions: "The Measure of Morality (Part 2)", "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
The USS Yamaguchi, USS Narendra and a replica of the USS Enterprise-C received further upgrades at some point shortly after the Shattering of the Klingon Empire during the Klingon Civil War of 2411. The ships then performed maneuvers in orbit of a planet. (STO website: House Reborn: Updates to the Ambassador and Narendra)
After the return of Klingon Chancellor L'Rell[5], the Yamaguchi was among the support cruiser ships that Starfleet refitted to legendary starship standards. The USS Yamaguchi, the replica USS Enterprise-C, the USS Narendra were upgraded to match the capabilities of the newly launched legendary intel support cruiser USS Horatio.
