The USS Britannic was an Akira class Federation starship operated by Starfleet in the late 24th century.

Ensign Jennifer Dewitt first assignment after graduating Starfleet Academy in 2368 was as a position in the Britannic’s tactical department. She was promoted to lieutenant (junior grade) and transferred to the USS Cortes in 2371.

Petty Officer Salem Martin transferred to the Britannic in 2370 and served aboard the starship until its destruction in 2372. Like Ensign Dewitt he also served in the ship’s tactical department.

The Britannic was on patrol near the Cardassian-Federation boarder in 2372 when it was struck by a mine and crippled. With it's navigational systems damaged, it made a turn into Cardassian territory where it was attacked. Official records of the attack would state that the ship was destroyed, it's crew of five hundred souls killed in action. During the destruction of the ship, however, over 200 officers and crew abandoned ship but were subsequently taken hostage by the Cardassian Union as prisoners of war. One of these prisoners was Salem Martin.
