USS Lakota

Excelsior II-class • NCC-42768 • Task Force 17

USS Lakota is an Excelsior-II-class heavy cruiser assigned as the flagship of the Fourth Fleet’s Lakota Squadron.

Representing a contemporary and versatile upgrade to the iconic Excelsior-class starships of yesteryear, she is a versatile ship taking on a path of her own in these challenging times, operating in some of the most dangerous areas of the galaxy.

Having bounced back from the loss of their captain during the deadly Frontier Day disaster, the crew have found new life under the command of Fleet Captain Keziah Nazir, restoring their belief and hope for the future. Together, Captain and crew complete their shakedown, and venture beyond the borders of Federation space as the tumultuous Demilitarised Zone threatens to unravel and bring an end to a near two-decade-long peace process…
