The USS Constellation (NCC-1974) was a Federation Constellation-class star cruiser that was in service with Starfleet for nearly a century, from the late 23rd century to the late 24th century. Constellation was the prototype for her class of starship.
In 2293, the Constellation was undergoing certification trials. At this time, the vessel had an NX registry number prefix. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
In 2371, the Constellation was ordered to Deep Space 9 to transport a Jem'Hadar child to Starfleet for study. (DS9: "The Abandoned")
During the Dominion War, in mid-2374, it was assigned to assist the USS Defiant in the search for survivors of the Cardassian attack on the USS Honshu. (DS9: "Waltz")
The Constellation was not seen in any of its references. Reference to it appeared on the Operation Retrieve chart in The Undiscovered Country, and merely in dialog references in DS9. Therefore, it was possible that the Constellation was a different, newer starship. However, without direct evidence, this article assumed that it was the same starship.
The first edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia had a black-and-white drawing of this starship. It conjectures that this vessel was named in honor of the USS Constellation.
An unseen element from the Operation Retrieve charts included a list of starships, their registries and their commanders. According to this list, the Constellation was commanded by G. Cantemessa and its last reported location was in Sector 23006. [1]
