However the ship is very adaptable and with turn its focus inward, toward Federation space if needed.

Service History
Construction & Launch
Part of the first group of five Sovereign-class starships ordered by Starfleet before the Dominion War, the Yamato was laid down at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards in mid-2372 alongside her sister ship the U.S.S. Musashi. Launched on stardate 50897.6, just a few months before the war began.
Post-Launch
Dominion War and Beyond
The Yamato served with distinction during the Dominion War, taking part in several major battle over the course of the war. Following the war she returned to Starfleet's original mission of exploration for some time, before being sent to the reserves in 2389. She remained ready to be reactivated at the Avalon Fleet Yards until 2401 when she was transferred to Task Force 17.
Solaris McLaren's Command
Return to Service
In the year 2401 the Yamato was transferred out of the reserve fleet and into Task Force 17 and placed under the command of Captain Solaris McLaren. Her current mission is to track down a stolen Starfleet prototype weapon and stop it from being auctioned off to an enemy faction.
Configuration
For the article, see Sovereign-class exploratory cruiser.
The Yamato is a standard Sovereign-class enhanced deterrence explorer, with only minor changes accrued over her years of service.
Main Bridge
Shortly before her reactivation the Yamato's bridge was redesigned and expanded to accommodate her expected mission profile of long term exploration. It features a raised command area with space for the Command Officer, Executive Officer and an advisor. This is flanked by a large rail containing the tactical station. The port side of the bridge contains the engineering stations with science station on the opposite side of the bridge. The aft section of the bridge contains additional engineering and operations stations, that can be reconfigured based on the mission profile as well as a large holotable showing a detailed readout of the ship in front of the large master systems display adorning the aft bulkhead. Toward the front of the bridge there are stations for the flight controller and operations officer sitting in a slightly lowered section. Access to the bridge is serviced by three turbolifts, one each toward the bow on the port and starboard sides and one in the starboard-side aft position. Access to the CO's ready room and XO's office are available at the front of the bridge next to each turbolift. Access to the observation lounge is available on the port-side aft of the bridge.
Support Craft
The Yamato embarks a variety of support craft to support her in her missions.
Type 9 Shuttles
The smallest of Yamato's support craft, Type 9 shuttles dont have the range or endurance of their larger brethern aboard the ship but still have the ability to carry out a variety of tasks. The Yamato' carries four of these shuttles in inventory.
|
|
Type 11 Shuttles
Yamato carries four Type-11 shuttles in inventory. These shuttles are not as large or as adaptable as runabouts, but can be ready quicker if needed on short notice.
|
|
Type 17 Shuttles
Yamato carries two Type-17 cargo shuttles in inventory.
|
Danube-class Runabouts
Yamato carries two Danube-class runabouts as her standard runabout complement. This class was selected over newer types for its modularity and capability for independent operations.
|
Valkyrie-class Starfighters
The Yamato carries a flight of four Valkyrie-class fighters at the expense of carrying two less Danube-class runabouts. These fighters provide added protection and strike potential on long term missions away from the support of other installations of starships.
Captain's Yacht
Like all Sovereign-class starships the Yamato has an integrated captain's yacht for the CO's private use.
