The USS Coridan was a Federation Galaxy-class large exploration cruiser under construction for Starfleet in the early 25th century. (Bait and Switch: "Shakedown Shenanigans")

History[]

The Coridan was part of the twenty-third production series of Galaxy-class starships, the so-called Planet-class, and was named for the planet Coridan, homeworld to the Coridanites. The ship was nearing completion in August 2409. (Bait and Switch: "Shakedown Shenanigans")

In 2410 the Coridan was under the command of Diego O'Shannon, and was deployed to the Delta Quadrant along with its sister ship the USS Bajor among six attack wings sent to reinforce Vice Admiral Marama Reynolds against the Vaadwaur. (Bait and Switch: "Tinker, Golfer, Doctor, Trill")

Technical data[]

The Coridan was one of five ships in its production line to be equipped with an experimental X-227 warp core developed by Vector Industries, which used artificial gravity fields to confine the matter/antimatter reaction instead of dilithium. (Bait and Switch: "Shakedown Shenanigans")
