The USS Magellan was a Federation starship that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century. In the 2360s, the Magellan was under the command of Captain Conklin. (TNG: "Starship Mine")
In 2369, the Magellan stopped at the Remmler Array for a baryon sweep. (TNG: "Starship Mine")
In 2374, the Magellan was a part of the Starfleet attack force that fought in Operation Return. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")
Background
According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, the Magellan is a Template:ShipClass star cruiser, with a registry of NCC-3069.
Dialogue and footage in "Sacrifice of Angels" suggests the Magellan was a Template:ShipClass starship:
- Sisko: "Ensign, have Galaxy Wings 91 and 93 engage those destroyers. All other ships, head for that opening. Anyone who makes it through doesn't stop until they reach Deep Space 9."
- Elim Garak: "Congratulations, Captain. You wanted them angry. They're angry."
- Sisko: "The Magellan and the Venture are supposed to be protecting our starboard flank. They're in too tight... tell fighter squadrons 6, 7 and 8 to..."
The subsequent shot is of two Galaxy-class ships attacking a Cardassian destroyer. It suggests that the Magellan was a Galaxy-class as the Venture has been previously established as one.
It is however also possible that the Magellan was either an Excelsior- or Miranda-class starship as prior to Garak's statement ships from these two classes were holding to the starboard side of the Defiant, with a Template:ShipClass ship holding close off the Defiant's starboard aft quarter.
The USS Magellan may have been named for Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan.
The reference work Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise Haynes Manual lists the Magellan as a sister ship of the USS Enterprise-D.
