==HISTORY==
=== USS Protector (NCC-3120) ===
The original protector was an Excelsior-class ship launched in 2270. Its service was relatively common and quiet, with no significant actions before being decommissioned.
=== USS Protector (NCC-74312) ===
The second Protector was launched in 2375, near the end of the Dominion War. The Steamrunner class ship was instrumental in assisting the recovery of the Betazoid system. The ship was destroyed in 2394 during a patrol near the Pi Canis sector.
=== USS Protector (NCC-83120) ===
The third Protector was launched in 2396 under the command of Captain Peter Taggart. The Vigilant-class ship was immediately sent to defend a Federation outpost along the Klingon front, and continuously saw action in various locations for the next several years. As the Iconian War raged, the ship was assigned to a task force sent to defend Ardana III from the Iconians. The task force was all but destroyed, and the Protector barely managed to reach the planet. With no working Warp Drive and no contact with Starfleet Command, the surviving crew decided to remain there and fight until they were relieved or destroyed. In 2420, the ship was encountered and recovered by the USS Sentinel.
=== USS Protector (NCC-93120) ===
This Avenger-class vessel was launched during the Iconian War and saw extensive service that conflict. Although the ship fulfilled her namesake on several occasions, the vessel was ultimately destroyed with all hands during that conflict.
===USS Protector (NCC-95312)===
Technically the same ship as NCC-83120, which was discovered in orbit of Adana III. After being recovered and towed to Starbase 220, the Protector underwent a full retrofit, consisting of a complete reconstruction from the frame up. This process ensured that all damage sustained from Iconian weapons would be repaired, as would the alterations made by the previous crew. After the retrofit was completed, the Protector underwent a period of trials, during which all major systems were tested. By Admiral Kalavek's order, the Protector was required to pass these trials before being allowed to re-enter service. Despite some concerns by the ship's tactical officer, the Protector passed her trials with flying colors, and was certified to reenter service. Given the extensive rebuild undertaken, the ship was essentially a new vessel, and was returned to service under the registry NCC-9531. This Protector saw service for five years after its extensive rebuild as described above.
Protector was destroyed during an operation to take down a mothership in July of 2425, but many of the crew survived and transferred to the USS Manta.
