The '''USS Chin'toka''' is an {{c|Akira}} starship under the command of Captain [[Mei'konda]]. In service for over two decades, Starfleet decided to update the Akira-class to better reflect the requirements of the service. The upgrades made to the class (dubbed the 2397 variant) aimed to make the class a multi-mission capable vessel. The USS Chin'toka (NCC-97187) is the first of the 2397 Akira class variants, boasting an updated propulsion system, a newly developed mission pod, state of the art scientific and medical facilities along with an expanded complement of auxiliary craft.

Due to the shifting nature of the politics within the [[Par'tha Expanse]], including the recent resurgence of the Romulan Star Empire and Romulan Republic in the region, Starfleet Command has made the decision to replace the [[USS Atlantis]] with the USS Chin'toka as the Federation's flagship within the Expanse. It is hoped that such a move will cement the Federation's place in the region and reassure its allies of their commitment.
After conducting a mission in late 2399 in the [[Lanaxa]] system, in which the crew of the Chin'toka strained the ship's capabilities to its limits in an ultimately successful attempt at diverting a neutron star's course so that it would not pass through and destroy the heavily populated star system, the Chin'toka was critically damaged and sent back to the Utopia Planitia shipyards for extensive repairs. At that time, the [[USS Astraeus]] was reassigned to the Par'tha Expanse in her place.


The ship is named in honour of those Starfleet and allied officers who lost their lives in the Cardassian system, Chin'toka, during the First and Second Battles of the aforenamed system during the Dominion War.
