The USS Musashi was a Federation Sovereign-class battleship starship in Starfleet service in the late 24th century. (TNG video game: Birth of the Federation)
In late 2376, the Musashi traveled to Station Kel-Artis, where her chief medical officer, Dr. Dennis Chimelis, was awarded the Bentman Prize. The Musashi was also to retrieve Dr. Elizabeth Lense from the same award ceremony and return her to the USS da Vinci. However, Lense had gone missing, and the Musashi was unable to inform her commanding officer because of communications problems while transversing an ion storm. The Musashi was then scheduled to continue to Cor Caroli IX. (SCE eBook: Security)
In 2379, after the disastrous Tezwa affair, the Musashi was sent to aid the USS Enterprise-E with the reconstruction of Tezwa, along with the USS Republic and the USS Amargosa. (TNG novels: A Time to Kill, A Time to Heal)
The Musashi was destroyed by the Borg in 2381 while trying to defend Deneva when it detonated its entire payload of transphasic torpedoes. However, its gambit failed because it was only able to destroy two of the cubes attacking the planet. (Destiny novel: Lost Souls)
- This ship might be named after the battleship Musashi of the Imperial Japanese Navy, itself named after the province in Japan. This was also the name of historical figure Miyamoto Musashi.
