In [[2370]], the ''Prometheus'' was assigned to assist [[Professor]] [[Gideon Seyetik]] in his project to re-ignite the dead [[star]] [[Epsilon 119]]. ([[DS9]]: "[[Second Sight]]")

The '''USS ''Prometheus'' (NX-59650/NX-74913)''' was the [[prototype]] of the [[Prometheus class|''Prometheus'' class]], a long-range [[tactical cruiser]] equipped with [[multi-vector assault mode]], [[regenerative shield]]s, and [[ablative armor]]. It was the fastest ship in [[Starfleet]] when it was launched in early [[2374]]. The vessel was also equipped with [[holographic projector]]s on every deck, allowing its [[EMH|EMH Mark II]] free range of the ship.
 
 
Some time shortly after [[Stardate]] 51462 in 2374, The ''Prometheus'' was hijacked by [[Romulan]]s. During their escape aboard the ship, the ''Prometheus'' easily disabled the [[USS Bonchune|USS ''Bonchune'']] when the Romulans decided to enable the [[multi-vector assault mode]], for the first time, proving its potency as a combat vessel.
 
 
Coincidentally, during the hijacking the ''Prometheus'' received a [[subspace]] transmission from the [[USS Voyager|USS ''Voyager'']], which was stranded in the [[Delta Quadrant]] over 60,000 [[light-year]]s away. This transmission contained ''Voyager''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> [[The Doctor|Emergency Medical Hologram]], who, assisted by the ''Prometheus'' EMH was able to regain control of the ship and stop it from entering Romulan space. ([[VOY]]: "[[Message in a Bottle]]")
 
 
Following the hijacking, the ''Prometheus'' was assigned to the [[Sol system]]. It was part of the defense fleet that responded to the opening of a [[Borg]] [[Borg transwarp network| transwarp conduit]] near [[Earth]], that ultimately escorted the ''Voyager'' home in [[2378]]. ([[VOY]]: "[[Endgame]]")

:''There was some confusion during the production of "Message in a Bottle" concerning the registry of the ''Prometheus''. According to [[Michael Okuda]], he had used the number NX-74913 on all the internal displays and the ship's dedication plaque. However, the [[Foundation Imaging]] FX artists did not get the memo and used the number 59650 instead. Although Okuda's number did appear on screen, the Foundation number was much more visible.''
 
 
:''Both ships are named after Prometheus, a character in [[Greek mythology]]. It was said that Prometheus stole fire from the gods to benefit man, starting actual civilization, for which he received punishment. Prometheus' name literally translates to "he who thinks first"; he had a brother named Epimetheus ("he who thinks later").''
