Featured Starship: U.S.S. Lakota (NCC-42768)

USS_Lakota_fires_on_the_Defiant-2

The U.S.S. Lakota (NCC-42768) was crucial to Admiral Leyton’s coup attempt in 2372. During the period of martial law, Leyton promoted his adjutant Erika Benteen to Captain and assigned her to the Lakota. The ship coordinated all Starfleet Security forces on Earth, and was upgraded with improved phasers and quantum torpedoes. Benteen had a crisis of conscience when ordered to destroy the Defiant. The coup attempt failed, marring the reputation of the Lakota.

This would be a good PC ship if your campaign is focusing on themes of redemption, if the crew of the Lakota remained aboard after the crisis. It would also be a good ship if Erika Benteen is used in your campaign. I present here two versions: one before the upgrade, and one after.

Featured Starship articles spotlight established starships that you can use as a ship for players for immediate play (such as for a demo or convention game), or as an NPC ship in your campaign. Some are a natural fit with characters from the Featured Crew articles. Only Core Rulebook rules will be used (with perhaps a few special exceptions, such as the spaceframes from the Command Division supplement).
