== Lineage ==
The USS Columbia is the named for the capital and largest city of the state of South Carolina, which itself derives its name from the poetic word for the Americas and the feminine personification of the [[United States of America|United States]]. Founded in 1786 along the fall line of the Congaree River, Columbia served as the governmental and educational center for South Carolina throughout the nineteenth century, and in 1860 it became the birthplace of the Confederacy when it hosted the South Carolina Secession Convention during which delegates voted unanimously to secede from the United States, becoming the first state to do so in the lead up to the American Civil War. Much of the city was destroyed when Union troops occupied it in 1865, but it was quickly rebuilt and became a leading center of commerce during the next century. Columbia is home to the University of South Carolina and was the location of Fort Jackson, the largest training facility for the United States Army.
In 2154, [[United Earth]] [[Star Fleet]] launched the [[NX_Class#NX-02 Columbia|Columbia, NX-02]], the second such vessel to have the warp 5 engine, after the [[Enterprise, NX-01]]. The NX-02 was commanded by Captain Erika Hernandez. The [[Earth]] research vessel [[SS Columbia]] was launched in the early 23rd century. It crashed on the planet Talos IV in 2236. In 2254, the [[USS Enterprise, NCC-1701]], under command of Captain [[Christopher Pike]], detected what appeared to be a distress signal from the Columbia coming from the planet. Beaming down, the crew discovered a group of survivors, but it was soon revealed that they were elaborate illusions created by the [[Talosian]]s for the purpose of kidnapping Captain Pike. The incident caused the imposition of [[General Orders#General Order 7|General Order 7]], preventing anyone from approaching or making contact with the planet under penalty of death.
The first USS Columbia under the [[Federation]] [[Star Fleet]] was a Hermes-class scout in service during the late 23rd century. The current USS Columbia was launched on Stardate 21101241101.09 and assigned to the [[2nd Fleet]]. Used to conduct both fast strike and special operations missions in conjunction with SFSOCOM ([[Star Fleet Special Operations Command]]), the frigate saw much action inside Romulan territory against the Romulan terrorist organization the [[Uihvueri]] and against the [[Tal'Shiar]] in the lead-up to the Fourth Romulan Civil War. Shortly before that war began, in Stardate 21403241403. the Columbia was decommissioned as part of political maneuvering within the 2nd Fleet. The frigate was then stolen by some members of its crew and taken on a rescue mission to retrieve their commanding officer, who had been arrested by the Tal'Shiar as a war criminal. Upon returning to Federation space, the ship was transferred fully to SOCOM and refitted, being put back into operation again in Stardate 21501 241501 and assigned to [[Area 42]].
In Stardate 241801, the Columbia was temporarily taken out of service due to an infestation of unknown organisms and the ship'''Current:''' s officer assigned to the [[USS Columbia, FF-6145<br />'''Vessel Class:''' Berlin<br />Apparition]].

===Notes on Technology===
*As of Stardate 21201241201.16, the Columbia has been equipped with stealth technology. Designed by SFSOCOM engineers, the device is a modified version of the stealth technology tested in the vessel's [[Shuttlecraft_-_Type_9X|Type 9X stealth shuttlecraft]], the [[Shuttlecraft_-_Type_9X|Eidolon]]. The original technology featured light-bending abilities that made the shuttlecraft invisible to the naked eye as well as sensor interference technology that allowed it to mimic the conditions that produce sensor glitches and ghosts on the equipment of most known governments and manufacturers. It did not fully hide itself, however, in accordance with the [[Treaty of Algeron]]. After the destruction of [[Bajor]] and several key Federation facilities by an unknown and potentially new enemy, the decision was made to upgrade the Eidolon's tech. The sensor interference technology was replaced by a more advanced version that effectively hid its target from detection by all known sensor systems. The technology was expanded and applied to the Columbia as well. The Type 1X Stealth Device, as it is officially known, is highly classified and cannot be engaged in the presence of other vessels.
*The Columbia features advanced sensor and computer technology, most of which is still somewhat experimental, as well as [[Ablative Armor|ablative armor]], deviating from the standard configuration of a frigate and in line with its operational sphere.
*The Columbia's computer system also features an advanced AI personality, named '''Ike''', designed to replace the computer's traditional interactive mode. Ike is still in development, however, and currently does not fully replace the traditional mode but operates in tandem with it. He only responds when called.
