The USS Star Empire (NCC-2116) was a 23rd century Federation starship, a Ulysses-class dreadnought in Starfleet service in the 2280s and 2290s decades.
Service history and disposition[]
The Star Empire was a successor to a previous ship commissioning, the Federation dreadnought USS Star Empire. (ST reference: Star Fleet Technical Manual; TOS - Fortunes of War novel: Dreadnought!)
- Since both the Federation-class dreadnought and this Ulysses-class dreadnought share the same registry number, it is possible this vessel represents a drastic refit and the two are the same vessel in some way. However, the ending of the novel Dreadnought! made mention of there being a very serious decision to scrap the first Star Empire. Since there is precedent for successor vessels being assigned like registries, this ship is presumed to be a separate construction and has its own individual article.
This USS Star Empire was initially equipped as a standard dreadnought (DN).
This vessel had the capability of being modified for service as an advanced dreadnought (DN+ in the Agamemnon series), an improved dreadnought (DNG in the Entente series) or a heavy dreadnought (DNH in the Babylon series). (ST video game: Starfleet Command II: Empires at War)
- No history or definitive fate is established for this vessel as its name was randomly selected for a dreadnought by the SFC game software.
