Lineage

The USS Ticonderoga, CA-1471 is the fourth Federation starship to bear the name. It is named for the Capture of Fort Ticonderoga in 1775. On May 10, 1775, Vermonter Ethan Allen and Colonel Benedict Arnold surprised and captured the small British garrison at Fort Ticonderoga. Cannons captured at the fort were hauled away and used to win the stalemate the siege of Boston, helping the American colonies earn a early victory in the American Revoluntionary War.

History

The USS Ticonderoga, CA-1471 was commissioned and launched on Stardate 20710.11 as Flagship of the Second Fleet under the command of Rear Admiral Joseph Daher and was deployed on the Romulan Front at the opening of hostilities that became the Third Romulan War.

During the war, the Ticonderoga was used as a testbed for the experimental XF-2 Fighter Programme.

With then-Vice Admiral Daher's transfer to Earth, the Ticonderoga's First Officer, Paul Braggins was assigned its new Commanding Officer on Stardate 21004.25. No longer the fleet flagship, the Ticonderoga often operated alone on missions, and the unorthodox methods its crew used to complete missions landed it with a justified reputation as being home to renegades and loose cannons.

With the advent of the Uihvueri crisis along the Romulan Border, the Ticonderoga was withdrawn from Independent Operations, and assigned to pioneer a project that had started with the development of the XF-2 Fighter. As lead ship of Light Carrier Group Omega-2, the Ticonderoga's mission was to patrol the Border areas, suppressing Uihvueri movements and operations in the area.

Following the attacks on Starbase Bravo and other facilities along both sides of the Neutral Zone, the Light Carrier Group was disbanded and Commodore Braggins reassigned. The Ticonderoga's First Officer, Tokat was made Commanding Officer on Stardate 21302.24. Without the Carrier Group or a Flag Officer in command, the Ticonderoga underwent an extensive refit to meet the fleet's updated needs.
