[CHANGE THIS TO RONIN INFO]
The '''''USS Ronin''''' is an [[ma:Akira class|Akira Class]] vessel relaunched in late 2400 under the command of [[Karrod Niac|Commander Karrod Niac]], formerly First Officer of the [[USS Arrow]].  After decades of dedicated service the ''Ronin'' spent the last several years in the Utopia Planitia fleet yards undergoing extensive refurbishment and refit to bring it up to modern Starfleet standards. Although that effort wasn't scheduled for completion until mid 2401 Stafleet Command pressed the Ronin back into service early to supplement existing forces in the [[Alpha Isles]] due to an increase in adversarial behavior from several power blocs in the region.
First launched in 2381, the ''Veritas'' builds off of technology first pioneered in the {{c|Defiant}} escort to provide Starfleet with a new generation of medium cruiser, more resilient than her predecessors. Her four nacelles makes her well-suited for deep space assignments, reducing wear and need for starbase repair and resupply.


''Veritas'' boasts impressive defensive capabilities such as pulse phaser cannons, type 10 phasers arrays, photon and quantum torpedoes, powerful shields, and 16-cm thick ablative armor, allowing her to withstand considerable punishment from threat forces while operating alone. As a cruiser, however, her scientific and logistical capabilities surpass that of her escort cousin.
Initially launched from [[Starbase 118]] in 2375, the Ronin was the direct replacement for the ''[[USS Obertha]]'' and was commanded by Captain Skyfire. His departure from Starfleet a year later led to Captain Alder taking command of the ''Ronin'' until she also left in October 2377.

Following Captain Alder's unexpected departure, the vessel's first officer [http://www.starbase118.net/lcars/profdet.php?pid=3| Michael James] took command of the vessel in 2378 and acted as CO until the ship's inactivation in January 2380. The vessel was taken out of mothballs and sent to the remote [[Ithassa Region]] to aid in the [[Gorn]] conflict of 2383. Following repairs, she was reassigned to the command of then-Commander [[Idril Mar]] in December 2383 and has remained in the region.

The heavily armed vessel is generally seen as a gunship, and in its history the ''Ronin'' has seen its share of conflicts with groups including the [[Grendellai]] and the [[Cardassian|Cardassians]]. However, under the command of [[Idril Mar]], the ''USS Ronin'' has also broken sterotypes and engaged in a variety of peaceful missions that have included a First Contact with the [[Sya-Negan]] and a diplomatic dinner with the [[Gorn]].

Forgoing the luxurious accommodations and amenities of Starfleet's largest explorers such as the {{class|Galaxy}} and {{c|Sovereign}}es, ''Veritas'' is designed foremost for reliability and versatility in the field and as a no-nonsense workhorse for the post-Dominion War Starfleet, stretched thin across the quadrants and frankly tasked to do more with less.
In the summer of 2385, command of the ''Ronin'' was transferred to [[Morgan, Robert|Capt. Bert Morgan]] after Capt. Mar's medical quarantine at Starfleet Medical, [[Earth]]. That fall, Captain Morgan was transferred to the [[USS Wellington]] and command of the ''Ronin'' was passed to [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Commander Ben Walker]].
 
Upon Captain Ben Walker's retirement (238707.23), command of the USS Ronin passed to [[Turner, Toni|Commander Toni Turner]], and when its crew was reposted to the [[Duronis II Embassy]], [[Rhul, Tallis|Captain Tallis Rhul]] took command with his own crew on stardate 238808.10, until it was inactivated again on stardate 238812.07, when they relocated to the [[USS Mercury]].
