Changes: USS Gettysburg

Revision as of 21:15, 27 February 2016

The USS Gettysburg was a 24th century Federation starship operated by Starfleet. This was the last command of Rear Admiral Mark Jameson before he was infected with Iverson's Disease. (TNG: "Too Short a Season")

The Gettysburg later docked for maintenance at Deep Space 9 during the Dominion War in 2375. (DS9: "Treachery, Faith and the Great River")

The Star Trek Encyclopedia, (3rd ed., p. 171) described the Gettysburg as a Constellation-class star cruiser, with a registry of NCC-3890.

The Gettysburg was named for Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the location of the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. ^{(citation needed • edit)}

In a scene cut from the final episode, the other ships that Jameson was the commanding officer of were named the USS Falcon and the USS Pegasus. According to this scene, by 2364, the Gettysburg was renowned for its explorations. [1]
