While the USS ''Independence''-A was designed as a tactical assault cruiser, it served a much wider role and performed deep space exploration and diplomatic/military roles, utilizing the full advancements of its science, medical, and engineering facilities. It continued the exploration and defense of the [[Ithassa Region]] as the Fleet’s flagship. | While the USS ''Independence''-A was designed as a tactical assault cruiser, it served a much wider role and performed deep space exploration and diplomatic/military roles, utilizing the full advancements of its science, medical, and engineering facilities.
