The USS Chester was a 24^th century Federation Defiant class starship operated by Starfleet.

In an early month in 2380 the USS Chester was the second Starfleet vessel to respond to a distress signal from a civilian freighter being attacked by a group of Cardassian warships. The first starship on the scene was the USS Kusanagi. By the time the Chester had arrived, the skirmish was over and the Cardassian warships had already disengaged.
