The USS Independence

The USS Independence, Starfleet registry NCC-75015, was a Sovereign-class vessel under the command of Rear Admiral Jennifer Cole.

Encounter With the HMS Titanic

In 2377, while under the command of Commander Joseph Johns, the Independence traveled back in time to early 20th Century Earth and witnessed the sinking of the HMS Titanic. Commander Johns and crew were able to determine that the sinking of the Titanic was the result of interference with the time line. With the assistance of the Federation Time ship Causality, they were able to save some of the passengers and assist in their repatriation in the 24th Century. They subsequently destroyed the ship responsible for the interference through use of the Independence's auto-destruct sequence; this caused the temporal anomaly to collapse and the time line to be restored, including the ship and her crew. (HF 1.04 - "Two Hours")

Loss of the Independence

On Stardate 60423.8, the Independence was escorting transports through the Briar Patch when she came under attack from the Tholians. Under the orders of Rear Admiral Jennifer Cole, all of the Independence's shuttle and attack craft were launched in an attempt to counter the onslaught but to no avail. Cole ordered the ship abandoned, escaping with the bridge crew on the captain's yacht. The wreckage of the Independence was discovered by the USS Angelfire, during the subsequent search and rescue operation. (HF 7.04 - "Hearts and Minds")
