The '''USS ''Independence'', NCC-1776-A''', was the fifth [[ma:Prometheus class|''Prometheus'' class]] vessel built in the Fleet, commissioned and built at Utopia Planitia before being dispatched to the Ithassa Region to replace the loss of the first [[USS Independence|USS ''Independence'']] during the [[Gorn Conflict of 2383]]. Like its predecessor, the ''Independence''-A launched under the command of Rear Admiral [[Anassasi, Jessa Kyrn|Jessa Anassasi]].

''Prometheus'' class heavy [[Starfleet Starships: Cruisers|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 [[ma:Defiant class|''Defiant'']], [[ma:Sovereign class|''Sovereign'']] and [[ma:Intrepid class|''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 [[Independence-A Multi-Vector Assault Mode|multi-vector assault mode]].

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.

In late 2388, the ''Independence''-A was reported destroyed in the Mirror Universe. Rather than allow the ship to fall into enemy hands, Fleet Captain [[Riley, Sidney|Sidney Riley]] ordered its self-destruction. After seizing control of the mirror counterpart of the [[USS Tiger|USS ''Tiger'']] to return back to the prime universe, most of the ''Independence''-A's surviving crew were reassigned to the newly commissioned [[USS Tiger-A|USS ''Tiger''-A]].
=History=
The fifth [[ma:Prometheus class|''Prometheus'' class]] starship of the 118 Fleet, the '''USS ''Independence'' NX-1776-A''' was principally designed by [[David Cody]] and commissioned by Rear Admiral '''[[Anassasi, Jessa Kyrn|Jessa Anassasi]]''', built at Utopia Planitia before being dispatched to the [[Ithassa Region]] after the loss of its predacessor, the [[USS Independence]] during the [[Gorn Conflict of 2383]]. It would continue to serve the Fleet until November of 2388, when the ship was purportedly ''destroyed'' in the mirror universe while Fleet Captain Sidney Riley was commanding.


It wasn't until 2390, when reports began flickering in that the Independence-A hadn't been destroyed, first recorded by Kolk, and later from [[Starbase 118 Ops|Starbase 118]] when sightings of what was termed a "ghost ship" that randomly appeared now and again, matching the description of the Independence. To the day, no one has been able to confirm or deny if it is the Independence-A, as it appears briefly after a lighting storm in space, then vanishes within a following lighting storm.
As was later learned, the USS Independence-A wasn't destroyed, but left floating dead in space, ghosting through the mirror and parallel universes through a phenomenon known as a '''space lightning storm'''.
