Service historyEdit

In the year 2368, the Venture docked at planet Luxor IV due to a baffle plate malfunction. (TNG novel: The Devil's Heart)

In 2370, the Venture was sent to help in the clean up of the New Bajor colony after it was destroyed by the Dominion. (DS9 - The Brave and the Bold, Book One novella: The Second Artifact)

In 2372, the Venture was on a long-term diplomatic mission when news arrived of Klingon forces massing to attack Starbase Deep Space 9. Captain Roger Corbett volunteered to lead a task force to Starbase Deep Space 9 to protect the station after it came under attack from the Klingon Defense Force during the opening volleys of the brief Federation-Klingon War of 2373. (DS9 episode & novelization: The Way of the Warrior; WizKids module: Tactics)

In 2373, the Venture took part in a scientific expedition to the Holaren Nebula under the command of Captain Benjamin Dawson. (DS9 video game: Dominion Wars)

Later that year, under the command of Captain Stanley, the Venture went to the planet Xhaldia to tow the Draa'kon vessel Connharakt to Starbase Deep Space 7. (TNG novel: Planet X)

The ship saw heavy action during the Dominion War. In 2374, the Venture participated in Operation Return, the epic battle to recapture Deep Space 9 from the Dominion. She was amongst the first ships to arrive at the station after the Dominion retreat. (DS9 episode: "Sacrifice of Angels"; DS9 video game: Dominion Wars)

The Venture participated in the First Battle of Chin'toka in December of 2374, helping the allied forces capture that system. (DS9 episode: "Tears of the Prophets")

Following the end of the war, the Venture battled Legate Matan's renegade forces, and was heavily damaged in the battle. (ST video game: Star Trek: Bridge Commander)

Olivia Bolaji served on the Venture prior to her assignment on the USS Titan in 2379. (TTN novel: Taking Wing)

In March of 2380 the Venture, under the command of Captain Henderson, escorted the first Trinni/ek delegation to Earth. Nine months later, she transported President Nanietta Bacco to the world of the Koa for their induction into the Federation. (ST novel: Articles of the Federation)

During the Borg Invasion of 2381, the Venture led a fleet defending the Andorian system against the Borg. With the assistance of the Caeliar, they were able to route the Borg that attacked Andor. (ST - Destiny novel: Mere Mortals; TNG novel: A Singular Destiny)

At some point in the later 24th century, the Venture was refit to the specifications of a Galaxy X-class heavy cruiser starship, with an added warp nacelle and central weapon battery, along with numerous other changes. (TNG video game: Birth of the Federation)
