USS Athabaska (NCC-2560) was the lead ship and prototype of the Athabaska-class strike cruisers. It was on active duty in Starfleet during at least the late 23rd and early 24th centuries. (Starfleet Dynamics, 2291 edition)

Athabaska was commissioned ca. 2291.

Hobbyist's Guide to the UFP Starfleet[]

In this continuity, Athabaska was a refitted and renamed Draco-class galactic survey cruiser, USS Andromeda, that returned prematurely from her original mission when three consecutive subspace communication relays she had scattered in her wake fell silent.

It was fully refit to the strike cruiser configuration and recommissioned after the Khitomer Accords. (Hobbyist's Guide to the UFP Starfleet and Its History, Part 1b)
