Changes: USS Essex

Revision as of 19:48, 4 July 2015

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.
