The prototype, <em>U.S.S. Sovereign </em>(NX-75000) was still in the design phase during the Battle of Wolf 359, and began its actual space-trials in 2369.<br><br>Initial production of the <em>Sovereign</em> class began at the ASDB Integration Facility, Utopia Planitia, Mars, with final compartmentalization at the San Francisco Fleet Yards, Earth, where it continues to this day. Long term production plans are estimated to include both the Antares Fleet Yards, Antares IV and the New Aberdeen Fleet Yard, Aldebaran, but as of yet, are not included in the Sovereign production plans.<br><br>Heavily armed, the design philosophy for the <em>Sovereign</em> class was shaped by the discovery of the Borg. The Sovereign Project attempted to push the envelope as far as possible when it came to computer power, shielding, armament and systems capabilities. The Sovereign Class vessel combines the creature comforts associated with the larger Galaxy-class vessels with the tactical power of the new <em>Prometheus</em> Class. Two forward and Two aft rapid fire torpedo launch systems are coupled with twelve type-XII advanced phaser emitters. The type-XII phaser arrays are the most powerful phaser systems to be installed aboard a Federation Starship to date, capable of delivery crippling blows to enemy shields and armor. The only drawback to the <em>Sovereign</em> is its slightly slower warp drive engines, forcing the ship to struggle to keep up with the newer, <em>Intrepid</em> and <em>Galaxy</em> class starships. <br><br>The <em>Sovereign</em> came to be assigned to Deep Space Twelve during what was now being called the Kessok Affair, when a new alien race, the Kessok, under the the influence of the True Way, a splinter group of the Cardassian Union.&nbsp; The True Way coerced the Kessok and began a campaign to stir up conflict in the region and antagonizing the Romulan Empire to the point of hostilities breaking out against the Romulan and the Federation.&nbsp; During the course of the conflict, the Federation lost several starships, including the famous <em>U.S.S. Dauntless</em>, and the Vesuvi system was destroyed.&nbsp; Captain Nathan Barnes, the new captain of the <em>Sovereign</em> managed to make contact and negotiate a truce with the Kessok, and with their aid managed to put an end to Legate Matan's plan to wipe out the Kessok and establish a new empire in the Maelstrom system.&nbsp; After the conflict, the <em>Sovereign</em> was permanently assigned to Deep Space Twelve, and has now become the flagship of the newly reformed Twelfth Fleet.

Geronimo</em> was one of the latest line of <em>Akria</em> class heavy cruisers rushed to the front line during the outbreak of the Dominion War and was one of the ships part of the joint Federation and Klingon task force to take back Deep Space Nine.&nbsp; The <em>Geronimo</em> earned one of its commendations of valor during the battle, continuing to fight on and provide the <em>Defiant</em> with cover support despite having sustained heavy damage from the engagement.&nbsp; In the end she could not keep up with the ship when the <em>Geronimo</em> suffered damage to its warp core and was forced to eject it.&nbsp; Before having done so, the <em>Geronimo</em> was credited with taking out more than eighteen enemy vessels.&nbsp; It would not be the last engagement for the ship as she was repaired in time for the final push to Cardacia to end the war.<br><br>After the war, the ship was assigned to the Maelstrom sector of space under the authority of Deep Space Twelve under the new command of Captain Gregory MacCray, who previously had served with distinction during the Dominon war as First Officer on board the <em>U.S.S. Gettysburg</em>.&nbsp; There was little break for MacCray as he would soon find himself in the middle of another conflict, the Kessok Affair.&nbsp; Numerous times the <em>Geronimo</em> serves as escort to the <em>U.S.S. Sovereign</em>, providing combat support as the starship completed their primary missions.&nbsp; He was also in command during the battle which destroyed Legate Matan's shipyards and primary base of operation, <em>Litvok Nor</em>, earning the ship its second valor commendation.&nbsp; With the reconstitution of the Twelfth Fleet, the <em>Geromino</em> and its veteran captain finds itself back at Deep Space Twelve, hoping not to be needed, but more than ready to jump once more into the breech if its needed.

Now the <em>Constitution</em> has a new Captain, the veteran Elizabeth Shelby, bringing into the Twelfth Fleet some much needed experience among a new crop of senior officers.

Hawking</em>, Dia became a different woman after the death of her sister, asking for reassignment and eventually becoming a member of the Command branch, where unlike her unremarkable history as a science officer, she served with dedication and distinction, first as a tactical officer, then as an First Officer.&nbsp; The <em>James</em> is her first command, and there is a almost poetic symmetry to Dia commanding the starship named in her elder sister's honor.

Though the Bird-of-Prey design had been in service for nearly one hundred years, constant upgrades ensured that the ships were still a powerful and capable front-line warship.&nbsp; In the hands of a seasoned and aggressive commander, a Bird-of-Prey could engage multiple Dominion fighters and expect to come out victorious. They were considered much more agile than <em>K't'inga</em>-class cruisers, allowing them to be better suited for some tasks.
