'''USS ''Blythe'' (NCC-12114)''' is a [[California class|''California''-class]] utility cruiser assigned to the [[Fourth Fleet]]. The ''Blythe'' initially was equipped as a science support variant of her class, with science-teal markings on the hull and significant interior space devoted to science labs and probe storage. In 2401, the ''Blythe'' underwent a refit aimed at reconfiguring it for a Command role, and as part of this transformation, it was repainted in a distinctive red color to signify this change in its mission profile. The USS ''Blythe'' is currently under the command of [[bfms_char:86584/|Captain Silas Crowe]].

Throughout the initial decade of active service, the ''Blythe'' was intermittently utilized for short transport, scientific, or repair assignments, although not on a significant scale. Under the leadership of Captain Frank Tipper, the ''Blythe'' was just one among many, with no notable events documented during this period.

Following Blythe's initial commission, it was temporarily decommissioned, partly due to the California-class starships gaining notoriety for structural issues. Given a lower priority by Starfleet, the vessel underwent a gradual refit at the [[ma:Utopia_Planitia_Fleet_Yards|Utopia Planetia Fleet Yards]]. However, the political environment led to occasional delays in the refitting process.

The ''Blythe''<nowiki/>'s crew under the command of Captain Leeroy Jenkins included a sizeable science department, half of whom were civilian scientists. By the end of the rotation, part of the diplomatic efforts of Task Force 17, the joint crew was engaged on a long-term mission to explore lasting peace between the Federation and the Free State by working together in the pursuit of knowledge.

After the events of the [[ma:Frontier_Day|250th Frontier Day]] in 2401 the decomission orders where cancelled and the USS ''Blythe'' was brought into active service again. This time the ''Blythe'' dawned red colors and served as a support vessel for the deep space operations of [[Task Force 17]].
****Commander, Task Force 86: [[Bfms char:65950|Captain Ryoko Takato]]
 
*****Deputy Commander, Task Force 86: [[Bfms char:88325|Captain Nathan Hawthorne]]
Being one of the few ships left in Starfleet without the [[ma:Fleet_formation_mode|NX12.11 Fleet Formation Protocol]] the USS ''Blythe'' was commissioned by Starfleet instead of another unnamed vessel. The ''Blythe'' and its newfound crew were tasked with investigating a potential [[Dominion]] threat in the [[Alpha Quadrant]].

Following several months during which Captain Crowe and his crew contributed to the peace and security of the Deneb sector, the Blythe received orders to return to Deep Space 17.

=== Configuration ===
''Main Article: [[California class|California-class utility cruiser]]''
 
The USS ''Blythe'' belongs to the ''California''-class utility cruiser category, configured for Command and Tactical missions. Similar to other ships of the ''California''-class, the ''Blythe'' is a prevalent and versatile starship class that has played a significant role within Federation space.
 
It engages in vital yet routine missions, encompassing minor scientific surveys, medical and engineering support operations, as well as standard transport tasks. These ships operate inconspicuously but are indispensable to Starfleet's endeavors, and they offer various specialized variants to suit specific mission requirements. The interior design of the ''Blythe'' closely mirrors that of the much larger ''Galaxy''-class starships, providing a familiar and consistent atmosphere.
