USS Athena

The USS Athena (NCC-74915) is a Prometheus class vessel under the command of Captain Erys Murai. The current ship is the second Starfleet ship to bear the name, and the third ship constructed in the Prometheus class. The ship was completed in 2379, and its most recent retrofit was completed in 2422, just before Captain Murai took command.
"the glorious goddess, bright-eyed, inventive, unbending of heart, pure virgin, saviour of cities, courageous, Tritogenia." - Homer (found on the Athena's dedication plaque)

== History ==
=== USS Athena (NCC-19087) ===
The first Starfleet ship to bear the name Athena was an Excelsior class starship serving in the early 2300's. The ship was destroyed during a border skirmish with the Romulans.
=== USS Athena (NCC-26282) ===
The second Starfleet ship to bear the name Athena was a Miranda class starship serving in the late 2300's. The ship was destroyed during the Dominion War.
=== USS Athena (NCC-74915) ===
The third and current ship to bear the name Athena was a Prometheus class starship launched in 2379. Although the ship was launched too late to serve in the Dominion War, she did prove vital in subsequent years. During the Klingon and Iconian wars, the Athena served both on the front lines and as a rear-guard support vessel, using its superior speed and firepower to prevent Federation forces from being completely overwhelmed. 
In early 2422, the ship was drydocked and underwent a full-scale retrofit to bring the ship's systems up to modern standards. Among the upgrades were the installation of a cloaking device, slipstream capability for all three sections, and the more modern ablative armor generators. The refit was completed late 2422, and the ship was assigned to Captain Murai.
Under Murai's command, the ship has operated in multiple theaters, most recently as part of Project Magellan. With the gateway restored, Athena returned to the Alpha Quadrant and put in for a minor refit. During this refit, several systems have been updated and improved. The update was completed in early 2428 and the ship returned to active service.
