USS Endeavour

*"Do just once what others say you can’t do, and you will never pay attention to their limitations again." - James Cook*
**USS *Endeavour* (NCC-71805)** was a *Nebula*-class scale 5 cruiser in Starfleet service during the 24th century.

## Service history

Launched in 2363 from the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, the *Endeavour* was the fourth Starfleet vessel to bear the name. It was placed under the command of Captain J. Marco Amasov and assigned to patrols near the United Federation of Planets' turbulent border with the Cardassian Union.

While on patrol in 2365, the *Endeavour* received a distress call from a Federation science team on the neutral world of Nivoch. The vessel arrived to find a *Galor*-class in orbit and troops on the surface. After dispatching security teams to rescue the scientists, Captain Amasov engaged the Cardassian starship, driving it off after only twenty-three minutes. Though casualties aboard the *Endeavour* were minimal, several members of the security teams dispatched to the planet's surface were killed or injured.

In 2367, when a starship of the Borg Collective made an incursion deep into Federation space, the *Endeavour* was part of the force assembled to defend the Sol system. The Borg vessel finally was stopped near Earth by the crew of USS *Enterprise* (NCC-1701-D).

After spending nine months in spacedock, the *Endeavour* was relaunched in 2368 under a new captain, Nikolas Kyprios. One of the starship's first assignments was to assist in the Starfleet blockade at the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War. Later that year, the ship was assigned to a patrol circuit in the Cleon system.

After five years in command, Captain Kyprios was offered a position at Starbase 12 and the *Endeavour* returned to Earth to receive a new captain and to resupply. Before the vessel was able to dock, word came that a Borg starship had penetrated deep into Federation space, fighting a running battle as it headed towards Earth.

Captain Amasov, posted to the Starfleet Operations Center, was beamed to the *Endeavour* to take command of the vessel. With all the other Starfleet vessels near Sol, the *Endeavour* moved to engage the cube in a last line of defense. The conflict, known as the Battle of Sector 001, ended after the arrival of the USS *Enterprise*-E and the destruction of the Borg vessel.

The officer who had been assigned command of the *Endeavour*, Captain Rhagahan, had been en route to Earth when the Borg cube attacked and destroyed the transport vessel she was aboard, killing her and all others on board. In her stead, Amasov was again given command of the *Nebula*-class starship. A few weeks later, tensions reached a breaking point with the Dominion and war officially began. The *Endeavour* was assigned to Ktarn Fleet, a new fleet organized at the outbreak of the war by Fleet Admiral Gustan Flaze. The vessel participated in the fleet's assault on Torros III in early 2374, and later in the Bolian Operation and the Battle of Starbase 45.

The last battle left the *Endeavour*, and much of Ktarn Fleet, in poor shape and it once again entered the docks of Utopia Planitia. While undergoing repairs, the shield systems, hull armor, and sensors of the vessel were updated to standards introduced in the recent *Intrepid* and *Sovereign*-class designs.

A little over a decade later, the *Endeavour* put into Utopia Planitia for some minor repairs and to swap its mission pod. The work was still a few weeks from completion when all Federation facilities at Mars were attacked by rogue synths. Still in its slip and without any crew, the *Endeavour* was completely destroyed. Its name would live on with the *Odyssey*-class USS *Endeavour* launched a few years later.

## Auxiliary craft

The *Endeavour* had a standard complement of 30 auxiliary craft and included a berthed *Mollard*-class captain's yacht.
