Changes: USS Essex

Revision as of 21:35, 13 March 2014

The USS Essex (NCC-173) was a Federation Daedalus-class starship that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-22nd century. In 2167, the Essex was commanded by Captain Bryce Shumar, the first officer was Commander Steven Mullen, and the security officer was Lieutenant Morgan Kelly. The Essex operated out of Starbase 12, under the sector command of Admiral Uttan Narsu. It carried a crew of 229.

In 2167, the Essex was destroyed with all hands aboard by an electromagnetic storm in the atmosphere of an M-class moon of Mab-Bu VI. The ship became trapped in the storm when non-corporeal criminals from Ux-Mal, who had been imprisoned on the moon centuries before, attempted to escape by possessing the Essex crew.

In 2368, the USS Enterprise-D detected the distress signal of the Essex, over 200 years old, and investigated the moon. The criminals impersonated the crew of the Essex and attempted to take over the Enterprise, but were unsuccessful. (TNG: "Power Play")

The name Essex may be derived from any one of several sources. For more information, see this page, for a list of possible origins.

The Essex received a mention in the Pocket ENT novel Kobayashi Maru, as being one of the starships sent to help repair Columbia NX-02 after its encounter with three Romulan-controlled Klingon warships over Draylax.

The Essex was also featured in Starfleet: Year One, Beneath the Raptor's Wing, A Choice of Futures as well as in the reference book Star Trek: Federation - The First 150 Years.

-=== Background ===
-The ''[[Star Trek Encyclopedia]]'' lists another '''USS ''Essex''''', a [[Constitution class|''Constitution''-class]] Federation starship (NCC-1697) in service in the [[23rd century]].
-The name originally comes from [[D.C. Fontana]]'s list of possible starship names, which was matched to the wall chart seen of ship statuses seen in the commodore's office in [[TOS]]: "[[Court Martial]]".  The name ''Essex'' was first matched to the starship with the registry NCC-1697 by [[Greg Jein]] in 1975.  The ship's status as a ''Constitution''-class starship is completely conjectural. The ship was also mentioned in the shooting script for [[TOS]]: "[[Amok Time]]".''
-The non-canonical [[Star Trek Star Fleet Technical Manual|Star Fleet Technical Manual]] lists the ''Essex'' as a [[Constitution class|''Constitution''-class]] [[starship]] (Bonhomme Richard sub-class) and assigns the registry NCC-1727.''
-It is most probably named after the World War II Aircraft Carrier, the most recent USS Essex, which was named after previous Essexes that were named after Essex County in Massachusettes which was in turn named for the county of Essex in [[England]].''
