The USS Exeter was a Federation starship, a Ambassador-class heavy cruiser in Starfleet service in the mid-to-late 24th century. (ST reference: Star Trek Encyclopedia, Decipher RPG modules: Starfleet Operations Manual, Starships)

History and specificationsEdit

Unlike the USS Excalibur, the Exeter was designed with escape pods that had an emergency manual override on the inside of the pod, rather than the interior of the starship. (NF novel: Requiem)

During the Dominion War, the Exeter was assigned to the Ninth Fleet and operated in the Bajor sector. In 2374, the Exeter docked at Deep Space 9 to be resupplied. (DS9 episode: "You Are Cordially Invited...", Decipher RPG module: Starships)

In early 2376, the Exeter became trapped in an unusual "dead zone" phenomena which disabled all of the ship's systems, in similar circumstances to other vessels all over the Milky Way Galaxy. Thankfully, the Exeter was released when the crew of the USS Enterprise-E were able to stop the "dead zones". (TNG novels: Dead Zone, Forever Dark)

Prior to 2376, the Exeter was under the command of Captain Hodgkiss. In 2376, Captain Elizabeth Shelby took command of the vessel. (NF novel: Requiem)

In Febuary 2381, the Exeter was one of the surviving ships of the fleet defending Vulcan along with the USS Atlas, USS Prometheus, and USS Kearsarge during the Borg Invasion of 2381. (ST - Destiny novel: Lost Souls)

It would later be docked at Starbase 22 along with several other ships. (ST novel: A Singular Destiny)
