The USS Kusanagi was a 24^th century Federation Akira-class starship operated by Starfleet.

In 2377, Miles Renard served on the Kusanagi as an ensign in the Tactical CONN department for a year after officially becoming a Starfleet officer. He was the pilot of a Mark II Valkyrie before transfering to the Mark III Valkyrie project as a test pilot upon his promotion to Lieutenant (junior grade).

After the USS Theurgy discovered the conspiracy that compromised Starfleet and fled Federation space, the Kusanagi was selected to be part of Task Force Archeron and ordered to hunt down and destroy the errant carrier.

In March of 2381 the Kusanagi was disabled by Lieutenant Commander Carrigan Trent's "Soup Sandwich" virus.
