USS Dagger (Vanguard)

The USS Dagger is a Tactical Frigate in service with Starfleet and the Federation during the late 24th century.

The Dagger was launched from the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards in 2384, and was commissioned in 2385, together with all the other starships that were built during that period for attachment to Vanguard Command.

The Dagger was one of two Tactical Corvettes assigned as companion ship to the  Command Battleship USS Dauntless. The other is the USS Machete.

When not deployed, it is docked on of the flight decks of the Dauntless. It supports the Fast Frigate USS Resilient and  Tactical Frigate USS Lionheart in protecting the Dauntless.
