Changes: USS Essex

Revision as of 17:54, 28 December 2014

The USS Essex (NCC-173) was a 22nd century Federation Daedalus-class starship operated by Starfleet. In 2167, the Essex was commanded by Captain Bryce Shumar, the first officer was Commander Steven Mullen, and the security officer was Lieutenant Morgan Kelly. The Essex operated out of Starbase 12, under the sector command of Admiral Uttan Narsu. It carried a crew of 229.

In 2167, the Essex was destroyed with all hands aboard by an electromagnetic storm in the atmosphere of an M-class moon of Mab-Bu VI. The ship became trapped in the storm when non-corporeal criminals from Ux-Mal, who had been imprisoned on the moon centuries before, attempted to escape by possessing the Essex crew.

In 2368, the USS Enterprise-D detected the distress signal of the Essex, over two hundred years old, and investigated the moon. The criminals impersonated the crew of the Essex and attempted to take over the Enterprise, but were unsuccessful. (TNG: "Power Play")

The name Essex may be derived from any one of several sources. For more information, see this page, for a list of possible origins.

The Essex received a mention in the Pocket ENT novel Kobayashi Maru, as being one of the starships sent to help repair Columbia NX-02 after its encounter with three Romulan-controlled Klingon warships over Draylax.

The Essex was also featured in Starfleet: Year One, Beneath the Raptor's Wing, A Choice of Futures as well as in the reference book Star Trek: Federation - The First 150 Years.

-== Appendices ==
-=== Background ===
-The ''[[Star Trek Encyclopedia]]'' makes reference to a USS ''Essex'', registry NCC-1697, as listed among the "[[Constitution class|''Constitution''-class]] starships commissioned by Starfleet."
+{{Daedalus class starships}}
-That ship was originally mentioned in the shooting script for {{TOS|Amok Time}}, and later included in an internal memo from [[D.C. Fontana]], which suggested a list of possible [[Constitution class|Starship]] names to consider for use in ''[[TOS|the original series]]''. This list, published in ''[[The Making of Star Trek]]'', would later be used to match the ''Essex'', , with the registry NCC-1697 that appeared on the wall chart seen in {{TOS|Court Martial}}, by [[Greg Jein]] in {{y|1975}} fanzine article ''[[The Case of Jonathan Doe Starship]]''. This information would later be adapted for use in the ''Star Trek Encyclopedia'' by [[Mike Okuda]], without ever explicitly stating his source.
