The USS Summit was an Federation starship, an Akira-class vessel in service to the Starfleet]] in the late 24th century.
In early 2376, the Summit attempted to rescue the USS Enterprise-E which had become trapped by an dimensional rift in orbit of Gemworld, despite warnings to stay away by Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Shortly after dropping out of warp the Summit's systems became overloaded by the rift and she was destroyed following a warp core breach. (TNG - Gemworld novel: Book One)
