Notionally a successor to the Constellation-class, this design was first put into service in the 2350s and like its predecessor, it’s often considered to be underpowered and under-gunned, which leaves it suited to minor duties within Federation space.Īs a light cruiser, the Cheyenne-class has a number of science labs and is suited to generalist exploratory duties, approximately equal to the Constellation and Miranda-classes in this regard. Pictured here is a replica of the Cheyenne class starship, USS Ahwahnee NCC-71620.An aging light cruiser, the Cheyenne-class is one of the few Starfleet designs with more than two nacelles. Subsequently, Picard ordered the fleet to proceed to Gamma Eridon at maximum warp, where the fleet would attempt to reestablish the net before the Romulans got there. When the network was disrupted by a high-energy burst released by the Romulans, the net was no longer effective in a radius of ten million kilometers around the USS Sutherland. Identified by its name and registry number, the ship's position in the network was monitored from the Enterprise-D. The ship was one of twenty-three assembled for the fleet and was one of the seventeen chosen for the tachyon network. The heavily damaged ship was discovered by the USS Enterprise-D after the battle.Īfter being salvaged, by early 2368, the Ahwahnee joined Captain Picard's fleet that blockaded the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War. The Ahwahnee, along with 38 other starships, fought the Borg at the Battle of Wolf 359 on stardate 44002. The USS Ahwahnee (NCC-71620) was a 24th century Federation Cheyenne-class starship operated by Starfleet.
