USS Sovereign (NCC-73811) is a Sovereign-class explorer currently assigned to Fourth Fleet. She is currently under the command of Captain Henry Maxwell once again, and assigned as the lead vessel of the Exploratory Cruiser Division, with the following vessels USS Echelon and USS Decker. Sovereign is also part of Task Force 86.
History
The Sovereign launched in the year 2369 as a prototype of the class with various new technologies. After several trial runs with some hiccups here and there, the Sovereign traded its 'NX' designation for 'NCC'. Sovereign had served in many diplomatic and humanitarian missions over the years.
In 2383, the Sovereign was amongst the fleet that was affected by a virus that was deployed by the USS Protostar, which forced the ship to attack its own, while also received hull damage from others. After the virus was removed, along with the rest of the Starfleet ships that survived, Sovereign returned to fleet yards for repairs.
In 2385, the Sovereign was amongst those that assisted in the evacuation of Romulus. The Sovereign had saved as many as thousands of civilians from the Romulan Homeworld, up until the attack on Mars that forced the Federation to make a difficult decision. When Starfleet abandoned evacuation efforts on Romulus, Sovereign attempted to save many more lives, which pushed past the recommended emergency capacity, before the ship departed the system. By doing so, the Sovereign put itself at risk of life support failure but was able to relieve the refugees onto a Romulan Colony world in time before oxygen levels became dangerously low.
In 2390, the Sovereign participated in Federation Border Defense against the Sovereignty of Kahless. A year later, Sovereign was assigned to the joint force of Starfleet and Klingon vessels against the Sovereignty of Kahless to push them out of Federation Space. The Sovereign was then assigned to the Fourth Fleet as a Explorer/Diplomatic Cruiser.
In 2399, the Sovereign defended several Federation Colony worlds against the invading House of D'Ghor. Later, the Sovereign was disabled by the 'Omega Directive', to which the current Captain at the time had reviewed and conducted the necessary operations that was instructed by Starfleet Command.
In the 2400s, during the 'Century Storm', the Sovereign conducted evacuation protocols of several small colony worlds to avoid catastrophic loss of life. Later, during Death by the Star, a 'Sundered Wings' Fleet Action, the Sovereign under temporary command of Captain Vakai, responded to a distress call from a Remen mining facility. At first they believed their equipment failed due to fatigue but later the away team discovered that it was due to sabotage, at which they were able to find the saboteur and deal with the matter. During the Race Against Time, a 'Blood Dilithium' Campaign, the Sovereign made an attempt to reach a cluster of colony worlds that were under the threat of an Orion crew that were enslaving colonists and forcing them to mine resources. En route to said colonies, the Sovereign encountered the Hirogen and a Devore Battlecruiser, to which the Sovereign received moderate damage but was able to reach the cluster of colonies and put an end to tyranny by an Orion.
In the year of 2401, the Sovereign returned to fleet yards to undergo a series of refits to upgrade her systems and any other outdated hardware. These upgrades took over several months due to the attack from the Dominion Fleet that emerged from the Bajoran Wormhole and the Borg incident during Frontier Day. When the Sovereign returned to service, Captain Henry Maxwell returned to command the ship and as the ship headed for a star system in the Talarian Republic territories via request of their government to identify an issue with the star in said system, the Sovereign was pulled into a vortex that deposited them in the Gamma Quadrant. This was the In Dire Need, a Labyrinth Fleet Action, where the Sovereign suffered catastrophic damage to its life support system which forced Captain Maxwell to evacuate all non-essential personnel to a nearby habitable planet. Along the way, they discovered a Romulan Republic vessel that was abandoned, only to later find that the survivors of said vessel were in a subterranean cavern on the nearby planet. Later the planet attacked the ship, where it launched a massive crystal spike towards the ship that tracked the ship, even when it attempted evasive maneuvers. The spike would ignore shields and pierce through the saucer section of the vessel. The spike embedded into the saucer was located starboard side, just below the dorsal primary phaser array, and the base of the spike that stuck out the ventral side of the saucer was near the starboard ventral phaser array. None of the arrays were damaged and from the dorsal view, the spike stuck out just between the two sections of escape pods, above one of the outer most section of escape pods. The Sovereign was then able to repair life support and return all crew personnel to the ship. This included the survivors of the Romulan Republic vessel. After the spike was shaved down as close as possible to the hull, the Sovereign was only able to achieve a safe velocity of warp six. This speed would of taken the Sovereign several weeks to reach the Bajoran Wormhole.
The Sovereign was essentially able to avoid the blackout events, since they only seemed to occur in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. But when the Sovereign received an emergency transmission from Fourth Fleet Command, Captain Maxwell ordered the ship to alter course back to a Underspace Aperture that they had detected earlier, to use it to reach the Chin'toka system. Thus, during Crimson, a Nightfall Fleet Action, the Sovereign successfully traversed through Underspace just in time to arrive and inflict serious damage to the Vaadwaur invasion fleet. The Vaadwaur vessels made an attempt to destroy the Sovereign by targeting her warp core, which thusly had caused significant damage to her magnetic interlocks. Sovereign had destroyed multiple Vaadwaur vessels before they were forced to retreat to the Rentak Nor in orbit of Chin'toka IV, when she lost shields and her ablative armor took serious damage.
During the Chaos Mission, an isolated event, Captain Maxwell had requested one hundred volunteers to remain on board while the rest of the crew left to enjoy their shore leave, while they figured out why they could not engage their warp drive. Once Maxwell was informed that the magnetic interlocks were damaged and that the warp core had to be taken offline to avoid containment failure, Maxwell decided to use the Quantum Slipstream Drive instead of having the Sovereign towed to the nearest repair facility. The Quantum Slipstream Drive was almost entirely completed when the Sovereign was in the Gamma Quadrant, in case for any reason the Underspace Aperture they saw had closed or disappeared, thus they would of used the quantum slipstream drive to make it to the Chin'toka system. So, Maxwell ordered the quantum slipstream drive to be finished and to use it to bring the Sovereign to the Avalon Fleet Yards. Unfortunately, there was no way for anyone to predict that the crystal shard embedded in the saucer would have an adverse reaction to the vortex of the quantum slipstream, which propelled the Sovereign into one of the infinite number of alternate universes. But when the Sovereign returned, where it exited the Bajoran Wormhole, all data records of their 'adventures' in said universe was unfortunately lost. Nevertheless, at that time, Maxwell made the appropriate request for a tow ship, where the Sovereign was brought to Starbase 72 for repairs.
