For other uses, see Musashi.

The USS Musashi was a Federation starship, a Sovereign-class battleship in Starfleet service in the late 24th century. (TNG video game: Birth of the Federation) It was named after the ancient Japanese samurai Miyamoto Musashi. (ST - Destiny novel: Lost Souls)

History

Late in the year 2376, the Musashi traveled to Station Kel-Artis, where her chief medical officer, Doctor Dennis Chimelis, was awarded the Bentman Prize. The Musashi was also to retrieve Doctor 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 - Wounds 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 - A Time to... novels: A Time to Kill, A Time to Heal)

During the Borg Invasion of 2381 in February 2381, the Musashi was in charge of the last six Starfleet vessels facing off against the six Borg cubes atracking Deneva and the escaping transport ships. When only the Musashi was left, with weapons inoperable, while the remaining four cubes razed the planet and its orbital defenses, Captain Terapane ordered all remaining transphasic warheads activated. In a suicide run that the captain likened to a samurai's seppuku, the Musashi blew up two of the cubes. (ST - Destiny novel: Lost Souls)
