The USS Independence, NX-1776-A, is the fifth Prometheus Class vessel built in the Fleet, commissioned and built at Utopia Plantia before dispatched to the Ithassa Region to replace the loss of the USS Independence during the Gorn Conflict. Like its predecessor to the name, the Independence launched under the command of Rear Admiral Jessa Anassasi.
Prometheus Class heavy cruisers are an onset of combat support Fleet vessels, designed primarily in response to technologically advanced threats facing the Federations. Developed from a combination of the technologies of Defiant, Sovereign and Intrepid classes, the Prometheus utilizes the latest in ablative armour, warp field technology and quantum weaponry. It is the only ship class which is capable of separating into three sections, upper engineering hull, lower engineering hull, and the saucer section, coordinated through its multi-vector assault mode.
While the USS Independence-A is designed as a tactical assault cruiser, it serves a much wider role, filling deep space exploration and diplomatic/military roles and utilizing the full advancements of science, medical and engineering facilities continuing the exploration and defense of the Ithassa Region as the Fleet’s flagship. The Independence is currently under command of Captain Sidney Riley.
