USS Robinson (NCC-71842)



USS Robinson (NCC-71842) was a Galaxy-class Federation Starfleet starship in service in the 2380s. Benjamin Sisko assumed command of the Robinson in 2381.

During the Borg invasion, the captain and the first officer of the Robinson were among the crewmembers killed.

In 2381, the Robinson was assigned to the Sierra sector on a patrol of the Federation's borders with the Imperial Romulan State and the Romulan Star Empire. The Robinson was also sent on a mission to Achernar Prime, where Sisko met Donatra to discuss the Imperial Romulan State and an attempted assassination on Spock. In January 2382, the Robinson was relieved of its patrol of the Sierra sector by the USS Fortitude for a week and travelled to Starbase 39-Sierra, where the crew enjoyed R and R and Sisko was debriefed by Admiral Philip Herthum. The Robinson resumed its patrol after this time.

In 2383, the Robinson was reassigned to a six month mission of discovery in the Gamma Quadrant. During this time it visited several worlds previously contacted by the crew of the USS Defiant during the exploration mission of 2376. While returning home, however, the Robinson received an urgent transmission from Jean-Luc Picard aboard the USS Enterprise asking them to investigate the loss of contact with Starfleet Command. Upon their return through the Bajoran wormhole, the Robinson discovered Deep Space 9 under attack by the forces of the Typhon Pact.
