USS Baracus
Class:	Defiant-class
Affiliation:	Federation Starfleet
Launched:	24th century
Status:	active (2370s)

The USS Baracus was a Federation Defiant-class escort/destroyer starship in Starfleet service in the 24th century. This ship was in active service around the 2370s decade. (TNG video games: Armada, Armada II)

No specific history or definitive final fate was established for this vessel as its name was selected for a destroyer by the Armada I and II game developers, and is placed randomly each time the ship appears. The Baracus seems to be named for the character B.A. Baracus from The A-Team TV series, although the word also refers to a type of butterfly native to Earth.
