USS Yamato
From Star Trek: Theurgy Wiki
USS Yamato
The USS Yamato (NCC-71807) was a 24th century Federation Galaxy class starship operated by Starfleet. She was the second ship of her class and a sister ship of the USS Enterprise-D. (Source: Memory Alpha)
In the early 2360s, the USS Yamato, along with her sister ship USS Enterprise, were being constructed at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. During the construction phase, Design Engineer Leah Brahms supervised the implementation of improved subspace field generators onto both starships. (TNG: "Booby Trap", okudagram)
In early 2365, an unmanned reproduction of the USS Yamato was created by the entity known as Nagilum inside a "hole in space". (TNG: "Where Silence Has Lease")
Later that year, Captain Richard McKenzie was the commanding officer of the Yamato. The real USS Yamato was assigned to patrol the Neutral Zone in Sector 134. The Yamato was listed on a Starship Deploy Status chart in the courtroom of Starbase 173. (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man", okudagram)
In a very short time, the command of the Yamato was transferred to Captain Donald Varley. The starship visited the planet Denius III, where an archaeological dig was underway under the supervision of Doctor Ramsey. The doctor allowed a device of Iconian origin to be carried back to the Yamato, where an analysis of the device revealed a historical star chart with the location of Iconia. Captain Varley decided to take immediate preemptive action and took the Yamato into the Romulan Neutral Zone to locate Iconia, before it was discovered by the Romulans. In the Neutral Zone, the Yamato played hide and seek through several star systems and successfully eluded a Romulan cruiser tracking them.
After arriving at Iconia, the Yamato received an Iconian software transmission and was unable to continue the investigation due to random system failures, later on discovered to have been caused by the software. An engineering team of 18 personnel were killed when the force field in a shuttlebay was shut down. The Yamato left Iconia to rendezvous with the Enterprise-D to solve the malfunctions and convince Captain Jean-Luc Picard to continue with the exploration of Iconia. The Haakona under cloak detected the Yamato and copied its log transmissions to the Enterprise-D, while it was traveling to the rendezvous.
After the Yamato had arrived closer to the Federation side of the Neutral Zone, a position twelve hours and sixteen minutes away from Iconia at warp 8, the Iconian software caused an antimatter containment failure. The magnetic seals around the antimatter chamber collapsed, and the computer initiated the emergency release system to dump the Yamato's supply of antimatter. However, the program caused the release to halt with antimatter remaining within the ship, resulting in an uncontrolled matter/antimatter mix, creating a warp core breach. While the saucer section was thrown free of the breach, the hull disintegrated, exposing all its decks to space. The Yamato was lost with all hands. (TNG: "Contagion")
