USS Sentinel

Intrepid-class • NCC-74673 • Valhalla Heavy Escort Division • Task Force 86

The USS Sentinel, an Intrepid-class starship, was commissioned in 2371 under the command of Captain Michael Anderson. The ship was designed for long-range exploration, science missions, and as a testbed for some of Starfleet’s latest technology. Throughout its early years, the Andromeda distinguished itself as a highly capable vessel, participating in numerous missions and assignments throughout the Alpha and Beta quadrants. The Andromeda played a critical role in the Dominion War, serving as part of the Ninth Fleet in several major engagements, including the Second Battle of Chin’toka. The ship suffered heavy damage in the conflict, and many of its crew were killed or injured. Despite these setbacks, the Andromeda remained in service, undergoing extensive repairs and upgrades at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards.

In 2401, after completing a major refit, the Andromeda was assigned to Captain Órlaith Murphy and assigned to the 4th Fleet’s “Valhalla Squadron” of Task Force. Given a second chance at command, Captain Órlaith Murphy left Starfleet Academy as a pilot instructor.  Will this second shot at the center seat bring success to her and the Sentinel?  Only time will tell.
