The USS Pathfinder (NCC-97600, initially NCC-47656) was a 25th century Federation starship, the prototype of the Pathfinder-class long range science vessel. The starship was developed by Starfleet as part of Operation Delta Rising and based on the Intrepid-class science vessel, specifically on the experiences of USS Voyager. (STO video game: Delta Rising, STO website: Delta Rising: Intrepid Class Starship)

Service history and disposition[]

Following the re-activation of the Iconian Gateway Network across the Milky Way Galaxy in 2410, the Pathfinder was requisitioned for Starfleet's new four-quadrant strategy of exploration. Starfleet Command hastily assembled survey squadrons. The Pathfinder was assigned to lead the 403rd Survey Squadron. (STO Issue 07: "USS Pathfinder")

From the year 2410 onward, the Pathfinder represented its class in the Starfleet Shipyards Operations interface. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")

Khitomer Alliance flag officer in, or aligned with, Starfleet, deployed Pathfinder for missions around the galaxy's four quadrants. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock", admiralty system)
