USS Athena
From Star Trek: Theurgy Wiki
The USS Athena was an Excelsior class Federation starship operated by Starfleet in the late 24th century.
In 2374 Lieutenant (junior grade) Keval ch'Rayya was assigned to the newly refitted USS Athena as its Assistant Chief Tactical Officer. The commanding officer of the Athena in 2374 was Captain Kyle Masters.
The Athena was one of the many ships tagged for Operation Return which was the Federation Alliance's attempt to retake Deep Space Nine and the Bajoran Wormhole from the Dominion and was in the first wave of ships lead into battle by Captain Sisko's USS Defiant.
Despite the opposition that the Athena faced, the ship managed to take out several Dominion ships before a suicide run by a Galor starship caused enough structural damage that forced Captain Masters to order the remains of his crew to abandon ship.
Keval spent the remaining portion of the battle in an escape pod before being picked up during a SAR operation by the USS Venture, unable to do anything but watch as he floated in the backdrop of one of the biggest battles of the war.
(So far it hasn’t been revealed if the Athena was recovered by Starfleet and returned to duty or was so badly damaged that it had to be scuttled.)
