The USS Poseidon (NCC-75781) was a sovereign-class starship, commissioned in late 2372, showcasing some of Starfleet's most recent technological advances. Serving only a short tenure during the height of the Dominion War, the ship's secondary hull was ultimately destroyed during the Battle of Cardassia in 2375. The damaged primary hull was later scrapped.
Construction & Testing
After the successful tests on the line’s prototype vessel USS Sovereign, the USS Poseidon was the third sovereign class vessel to be laid down at San Francisco Fleet Yards in 2369 and was built alongside its sister-vessel, the eventual USS Enterprise-E. Originally construction on both, then unnamed ships, started at about the same time (with a mere 2 week gap) the effort for what would become the Enterprise-E was later increased when the Enterprise-D was destroyed at Veridian III in 2371. Thus, the USS Poseidon launched 2 months after its sister ship.
Piloted by a test-crew of the San Francisco Fleet Yards for the first trials around the solar system the Poseidon was handed over to the command of Captain Isaac Reeves and his crew by February 7th, 2373. Following was a planned 6 months shakedown cruise to Regulus, along the Borderlands to Deep Space K-7, then onwards to Starbase 214 before visiting the border of the Tholian Assembly, Ceti Alpha, Starbase 82 and past the Midas Array home to Sol.
However, the cruise was cut short a few months in with the invasion of the Dominion into the Alpha Quadrant, and the Poseidon – then berthed at Starbase 214 – was recalled to Starbase 211 where the fleet regrouped. Arriving on the Cardassian border the ship was officially enlisted into Starfleet active duty by Admiral Ross despite not having completed its shakedown cruise. Starfleet protocol was formally suspended to facilitate wartime efforts.
