The USS Quirinal (NCC-82610) was a Federation Vesta-class starship, in Starfleet service in the late 24th century. (VOY novel: Children of the Storm)

HistoryEdit

In the year 2381, the Quirinal was fitted with a quantum slipstream drive and assigned to Project Full Circle, under the command of Captain Regina Farkas, as part of the fleet tasked with exploration of the Delta Quadrant. (VOY novel: Full Circle)

The Quirinal, along with the USS Planck and USS Demeter were a part of a fleet to make contact with the Children of the Storm, during the battle that ensured, Quirinial attempted a slipstream jump to escape, resulting in it crash landing on another world. The survivors were located by the USS Voyager nearly two weeks after the events leading up to its destruction. The USS Achilles was sent to repair the vessel while the USS Galen took on the survivors of the crew. The Quirinal was able to capture 10 of the children in a cargo bay before they escaped the battle, these were enclosed in an undamaged cargo back and given the highest priority for power reserves by the surviving crew as their detonation would have destroyed the shipwreck and killed the crew.

B'Elanna Torres indicated that the Achilles had the capabilities to produce the parts and manpower to repair and relaunch the ship, but she doubted that they would be successful in restoring the ship to flight, let alone restoring it to slipstream capability. Despite her objections, Fleet Commander Afsarah Eden instructed Torres that the ship would be repaired no matter the cost. (VOY novel: Children of the Storm)
