| '''The USS ''Denver''''' is a [[Nebula Class]] heavy cruiser which has seen decades of Starfleet service. During the [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Dominion_War?so=search Dominion War] ''Denver'' saw action with the Seventh Fleet under the command of Captain [[bfms_char:44596/|Rebecca Talon]].

| == History == | |
| | |
| === Construction === | |
| The USS ''Denver'' was launched from the [[ma:Utopia_Planitia_Fleet_Yards|Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards]] on stardate 47760.3 (October 5, 2370) under the command of Captain Micah Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick oversaw the final construction of the ship. During the shakedown cruise to Deep Space 7 the warp core developed hairline fractures along the reaction chamber necessitating ejecting the core. The [[USS Crazy Horse]] was dispatched to tow the ''Denver'' to the nearest starbase for repairs. The damage was minimal but a new core was needed and ''Denver'' remained in dry dock for the next four months.
| |
| | |
| Following the initial shakedown cruise the ''Denver'' was assigned to the [[Romulan Neutral Zone]]. For the next three years this assignment was mostly uneventful. Despite this Starfleet still considered it a success. A notable exception being an incident in which two Romulan warbirds crossed the Neutral Zone under suspicion of a build up of Starfleet ships. Captain Fitzpatrick was able to negotiate a stand-down and he was awarded the [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Christopher_Pike_Medal_of_Valor?so=search Christopher Pike Medal of Valor].

| === 2372-2373 ===
| |
| The ''Denver'' saw considerable action during the [[ma:Federation-Klingon_War_(2372-73)|Federation-Klingon War]] of 2372-2373. It was during this conflict Commander Rebecca Talon was recalled to active duty and assigned to the ship as first officer. ''Denver'' took part in several campaigns including the Organia Offensive and the Ardana Massacre.
| |
| | |
| === 2374-2375 ===
| |
| At the breakout of hostilities with the [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Dominion?so=search Dominion] ''Denver'' was assigned to the 7th Fleet. On February 10, 2374 the Seventh Fleet was assigned to attack the Dominion fleet at the Tyra System. Of the 114 Federation ships assigned to the offensive the ''Denver'' was one of only twelve ships to return to Federation space. Unfortunately Captain Fitzpatrick did not survive and Commander Talon was promoted to Captain.
| |
| | |
| In late 2375 as part of a task force to hold the Chin'toka System the ''Denver'' took part in the [[ma:Second_Battle_of_Chin'toka|Second Battle of Chin'toka]]. The battle was a major set back in the war with the Dominion and their new Breen allies. The ''Denver,'' like all the other Federation ships was disabled by the Breen weapon. Despite being heavily damaged ''Denver'' was salvaged a few months later at the conclusion of the war. The space frame spent two years at McKinley Station for repairs and refit.
