USS Ari (NCC-1723) was a Federation starship, a Constitution-class cruiser in service to Starfleet in the late 23rd century.
Service history and disposition[]
Construction of Ari as a Bonhomme Richard-subclass class I heavy cruiser was authorized by the Starfleet appropriation of stardate 3220, in the early 2260s decade. (ST reference: Star Fleet Technical Manual)
- It is not clear if Ari was ever built to the original Federation heavy cruiser specifications, as the SFTM only notes it was authorized. It is possible it was built as a Bonhomme Richard-class vessel and then refit, or that the plans were cancelled and/or altered to make way for the ship commissioning of the Constitution II-class.
By the 2280s and/or 2290s decades, Ari was in service as a refit ship of the Enterprise-subclass, specifically outfitted as a Federation advanced cruiser (CA+). (ST video game: Starfleet Command)
While in service as an advanced cruiser, Ari was capable of being modified to serve as a standard cruiser (CA), rear-fire cruiser (CAR), command cruiser (CC), advanced command cruiser (CC+) or heavy command cruiser (CB). (ST video game: Starfleet Command II: Empires at War, ST video game: Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates)
- No history or definitive final fate is established for this vessel in the SFC series as its name was randomly assigned to a cruiser vessel by the games' software when the ship appears in play.
