The USS Dauntless (NCC-80816) was a 24th century Federation starship, a Dauntless-class vessel in Starfleet service in the 2380s decade, under the command of Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway in the year 2384. (PRD episode: "A Moral Star")

Service history[]

The original USS Dauntless

During her time as captain of Voyager in the 2370s, Janeway had encountered a fake Federation starship created by Arturis of Species 116. This Dauntless-class vessel introduced Starfleet to the quantum slipstream drive. The Dauntless itself was lost to the Borg in the year 2374. (VOY episode: "Hope and Fear")

The bridge of Starfleet's Dauntless resembled that of the NX-01-A.

Starfleet's own USS Dauntless was searching for the USS Protostar, an experimental starship equipped with another advanced FTL engine, the protostar drive. Under the command of Janeway, the Dauntless was on a mission to search for the missing USS Protostar. In 2384, sensors detected the signature of the proto-drive, and Janeway ordered to follow the trail at maximum warp. (PRD episode: "A Moral Star, Part 2")

The crew first tracked the warp signature of the Protostar to Tars Lamora, where they found the Diviner in stasis within the abandoned prison colony. (PRD episode: "Asylum")

The Dauntless then tracked the Protostar to communication relay station CR-721, where the crew were shocked to discover it destroyed with no signs of survivors. Knowing that the Protostar's Captain Chakotay would never commit such an act, Janeway surmised that someone else was in control of the Protostar. (PRD episode: "Let Sleeping Borg Lie")

Intercepting the Protostar

Following the trail of CR-721's sole crew member, Lieutenant jg Barniss Frex, brought the Dauntless to Denaxi Depot, where their away team chanced upon the Protostar crew. The Protostar fled the planet and entered the Romulan Neutral Zone after its protostar drive was disabled by a photon torpedo fired by the Dauntless. Confronted by three Romulan D'deridex-class warbirds, the Dauntless was unable to pursue. Janeway was ordered to destroy the protostar drive at long range with microtorpedoes rather than allow the technology to be captured by the Romulans, but this proved to be unnecessary. (PRD episodes: "Crossroads", "Masquerade")
