The USS Templar was an Akira-class Federation cruiser starship in Starfleet service in the 24th century. This ship was in active service around the 2370s decade. (TNG video games: Armada, Armada II)

No history is established for this vessel as its name was randomly selected for a cruiser by the game software.

During the Borg invasion in 2381, the Templar was one of the vessels which amassed at the Azure Nebula to defend against the Borg. When the USS Aventine and USS Enterprise-E were over three hours to report back from subspace tunnel twenty-two alpha, Captain Chakotay of the USS Voyager prepared to order the Templar, the USS T'Kumbra, and the USS Saladin through, treating it as a combat sortie. However, tunnel twenty-six opened to allow over seven thousand Borg cubes before the ships could depart, assaulting the allied fleet. (ST - Destiny novel: Mere Mortals)

The novel only mentions the ship name and does not necessarily establish these are the same vessel.
