The USS Constellation (NCC-1974) was the prototype of the Constellation-class star cruiser.
In 2293, it was undergoing certification trials. At this time, the vessel had a NX- registry number prefix. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
- The Constellation was not seen, but only listed in a computer status display. It was never explained why this ship as a prototype was going through certification trials in 2293 when the USS Hathaway was already launched in 2285.
In 2371, the Constellation was ordered to Deep Space 9 to transport a Jem'Hadar child to Starfleet for study. (DS9: "The Abandoned")
During the Dominion War in mid-2374, it was assigned to assist the USS Defiant in the search for survivors of the Cardassian attack on the USS Honshu. (DS9: "Waltz")
- The Constellation was not seen in either DS9 episode, but only mentioned in dialog. Therefore, it is possible that the Constellation was a different, newer starship. However, without direct evidence, this article assumes that it was the same starship.
- The first edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia has a black-and-white drawing of this starship.
- She was named in honour of the USS Constellation (NCC-1017)
