Prometheus class starship


 * For the one-ship Stargate class of the same name, see Prometheus (Stargate).

The USS Prometheus is a fictional starship in the science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager, appearing in the episode "Message in a Bottle".

The USS Prometheus is the only named ship of its class. A Prometheus-class ship appears in Voyager ' s finale, "Endgame", but the ship's name was not stated or seen. Additionally, a Prometheus-class ship is visible fighting at the Battle of Procyon V in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Azati Prime".

"Battle of NSE"
In Star Trek: Bridge Commander a famous battle called the "Battle of NSE" occured in 2370's where the Neo Star Empire faced the United Federation of Planets in a battle that would leave a quadrant crippled. The UFP only sent a few ships but these few ships including the USS Zell helped to put an end to the worst, and most pathetic faction that ever existed in Bridge commander. It was beleived to have 17 members but it turned out that their was only 1 member, NSE-Paul-SE01. His ship was quickly destroyed and him, himself was taken aboard the USS Zell where he was a prisoner. He was severly beaten and shot with Phasers and even the EMH gave him a neural agent that caused great pain. In the end, the evidence was covered up and the United Federation of Planets never knew what happened.

"Message in a Bottle"
In the episode "Message in a Bottle", the USS Prometheus was fully commissioned and began a series of shakedown cruises before it was commandeered by Romulans. USS Voyager ' s Emergency Medical Hologram and the experimental Mark II Emergency Medical Hologram aboard the Prometheus help Starfleet successfully retake the ship. It was on this mission that Starfleet learns of Voyager ' s presence in the Delta Quadrant.

"Endgame"
When a Borg transwarp conduit opens near Earth, a Prometheus-class ship is part of the fleet that is sent to intercept the perceived threat and escorts Voyager home.

"Azati Prime"
When Archer is transported to the future by Daniels, several shots of the battle through the window are shown, there are one or more Prometheus class ships fly by the Enterprise-J, just long enough to see the ships.

Technology
The USS Prometheus is a testbed of technologies being researched by Starfleet. In standard configuration, the ship is composed of an arrowhead-shaped primary hull attached directly to a secondary hull supporting four warp nacelles on short pylons in an 'X' configuration. In battle, this ship can go into "multi-vector assault mode" in which the vessel may divide into three ships &mdash; the saucer, the upper engineering hull, and the lower engineering hull &mdash; to allow for multiple independently moving weapons platforms. The saucer has two small warp nacelles that are stored in recesses while joined and extend once the saucer has separated. The three components can later reconnect.

The Prometheus also has enhanced defences including ablative armor and regenerative deflector shields.

The entire ship is fitted with holographic projectors, allowing the ship's Emergency Medical Hologram to travel throughout the ship.

Registry
The Prometheus CGI model gives the ship's registry as "NX-59650". However, production designer Michael Okuda used "NX-74913" for all the internal displays, including the ship's dedication plaque, but the independent FX artists did not receive a memo regarding this, and so used an "incorrect" number for the CGI model.
