| Affiliation: | Federation Starfleet |
| Status: | Decommissioned (2372) |
The USS Bozeman (NCC-1941) was a Federation Soyuz class starship in service to Starfleet in the 23rd and 24th centuries. By the 2270s, the Bozeman was under the command of Captain Morgan Bateson.
Specifications
The Bozeman was a Starfleet border cutter in the Federation Division of Law Enforcement. It was described by Morgan Bateson as "very compact, lots of power, no frills. Extra shielding, more weapons - not meant for science application. The Bozeman and the other four Soyuz ships are knotted fists." It used towing clamps rather than tractor beams to save power, and was equipped with yellow and red lights for law enforcement identification.
Service history
The USS Bozeman (NCC-1941) was a Federation Soyuz-class starship in service to Starfleet in the 23rd and 24th centuries. By the 2270s, the Bozeman was under the command of Captain Morgan Bateson.
The Bozeman was a Starfleet border cutter in the Federation Division of Law Enforcement. It was described by Morgan Bateson as "very compact, lots of power, no frills. Extra shielding, more weapons - not meant for science application. The Bozeman and the other four Soyuz ships are knotted fists." It used towing clamps rather than tractor beams to save power, and was equipped with yellow and red lights for law enforcement identification.
In the year 2262, Mia Colt was assigned to the ship as science officer. She held that position until 2266.
In 2278, Lieutenant Commander Hikaru Sulu was offered the position of first officer on board the Bozeman, which he was planning to accept before learning that he had a daughter named Demora. After he learned of his daughter's existence, Sulu decided not to accept the position and instead took a position teaching at Starfleet Academy.
A few weeks later, the Bozeman vanished in the Typhon Expanse and was presumed lost. She emerged from a temporal causality loop in 2368, colliding with and destroying the USS Enterprise-D in the process. Eventually, the crew of the Enterprise found a way to break the loop and saved their vessel from destruction. It was then and there that Captain Jean-Luc Picard revealed to Bateson's crew what had happened.
In 2369, several crewmembers, including the Bozeman's first officer Lieutenant Parvana Whitcomb, took the ship and attempted to steal the Ky'rha Artifacts so they could travel back to their own time. However, their efforts were thwarted by Federation Department of Temporal Investigations agents Gariff Lucsly and Marion Dulmur.
By 2371, the Bozeman had been assigned to scientific duty. That year, the ship was forced to make a course correction due to altered gravitational forces in the sector due to the destruction of the Amargosa star. Soon afterwards, the Bozeman transported Data and Geordi La Forge to and from Trilex.
In 2372, the Bozeman was assigned to the Department of Temporal Investigations and took part in an investigation into the disappearance of the time perceptor on Delta IV.
At some point later, many of the Bozeman's personnel, including Philip Crey, were recruited into the Temporal Intelligence Agency, due to their knowledge of the past.
Alternate timeline
In an alternate 2370 caused by an anti-time anomaly, the Bozeman was one of the ships sent to investigate the anomaly in the Devron system of the Romulan Neutral Zone.
