The Trial docked at DS9.

The USS Trial (NCC-1948) was a Miranda-class Federation starship that was in service during the late 24th century.

In early 2372, an unnamed Miranda class starship, accompanied by the USS Venture and two unnamed Excelsior class starship, were part of Admiral Hastur's task force that arrived at Deep Space 9 to assist the space station against the Klingons during the first Battle of Deep Space 9. The ship later docked at the station following the Klingon withdrawal. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")

All subsequent appearances of this vessel were as a result of recycled footage.

It would return to visit Deep Space 9 again in 2373. (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume")

The Trial later fought in the Dominion War, and would take part in Benjamin Sisko's task force assigned to retake Deep Space 9. It was one of the first starships to arrive at the station after the Dominion withdrawal. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")

Background

The Trial was built from an AMT/Ertl model kit of the USS Reliant. The origin of the name is a result of the rearrangement of the letters R-E-L-I-A-N-T to get T-R-I-A-L (minus the E-N). The registry was also conceived the same way, rearranging 1-8-6-4 to get 1-9-4-8. A similar method was used in naming and registering of the USS Yeager (NCC-65674), created from USS Voyager (NCC-74656).
