The USS Princeton (NCC-59804) was a 24th century Federation starship, a Niagara-class fast cruiser[1] in Starfleet service in the 2360s decade. In the year 2367, the Princeton took part in the Battle of Wolf 359. (STO - Task Force Operation mission: "Battle of Wolf 359")

Service history and disposition[]

The USS Princeton was part of the fleet of 40 ships assembled by Vice Admiral J.P. Hanson to waylay Borg cube 632[4] at Wolf 359. Hanson's fleet engaged Locutus' cube in battle and hoped to stop it from reaching Earth in Sector 001. Locutus of Borg, the assimilated Starfleet captain Jean-Luc Picard, used his tactical knowledge to decimate the Federation fleet. The Princeton was wrecked and effectively destroyed in the battle. (STO - Task Force Operation mission: "Battle of Wolf 359")

When the USS Enterprise-D approached the battle site shortly thereafter, the wreck of the Princeton was one of the first ships the Enterprise passed. (TNG episode: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II"; ST reference: The Star Trek Encyclopedia)

In the 2410s, the Princeton was one of the 31 shipwrecks on display along a docking arm of the Wolf 359 Memorial Station in the Wolf 359 star system. With the intact, decommissioned USS Hood taking a separate docking port, close to the space station's primary hull, the Princeton occupied in 6th memorial position on the spiraling docking arm. (STO - Both Worlds mission: "Omega Molecule Stabilization")

In 2411, Captain Ezri Dax oversaw a Khitomer Alliance training simulation wherein Alliance starships re-enacted the battle on the holodeck to prepare for combat with the Borg Kingdom from the mirror universe. The Princeton was one of the ships recreated holographically for the operation. (STO - Task Force Operation mission: "Battle of Wolf 359")
