USS Verity (NCC-97000)

The USS Verity (NCC-97000) was a Federation starship, an star cruiser in Starfleet service in the 2380s decade. Its commanding officer was Admiral Jean-Luc Picard. The ship's mission was to evacuate Romulan worlds from an impending supernova. 

Service history
In 2381, the Federation learned that the Romulan Star Empire was threatened by a supernova that could erupt at any time, and offered to save the Romulan people.

Four years later, in 2385, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard coordinated evacuation efforts from the USS Verity. The Romulan Senate had granted the ship the right to operate in Imperial space. Picard remained in touch with Geordi La Forge about the construction of relocation ships at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards.

Soon after, the Verity traveled to Yuyat Beta on orders to evacuate its population of 10,000 Romulans. Major-Domus Athus ordered only Picard and his first officer, Lieutenant Commander Raffi Musiker, to beam to the planet. Picard was shocked to learn there was a native population, 4 to 5 million strong. When Picard refused to evacuate just the Romulans, Governor Shiana had Picard and Musiker imprisoned, cutting off the Verity in orbit. (PIC - Countdown comic: "Issue 1")

After imprisoning Picard and Musiker, Shiana boarded the Verity in an attempt to seize control of the ship. (PIC - Countdown comic: "Issue 2")

The crew recaptured the Verity. Shiana landed in the brig but the ship was confronted by a Tal Shiar intel warbird operating outside the purview of the Romulan senate. With the help of the ex-Tal Shiar agent Zhaban, Admiral Picard regained full control of the Verity, and the Tal Shiar ship was scared off by a pair of decloaking warships.

In 2411, the USS Verity (NCC-97005), first of the dreadnought cruisers, was named for Picard's ship. (STO website: Legendary Command Dreadnought Cruiser)

Background

 * The design of the Verity is almost identical to that of the Odyssey class from Star Trek Online, to the extent that the first image we see of it is virtually traced from the promotional render of the game's USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-F).
 * It also shares the numerical part of it's registry with Online's USS Odyssey (NX-97000).
