Construction began on the USS Archer in the late 2360s at the Utopia Planitia Shipyards along with her sister ships, USS Intrepid, USS Bellerophon and USS Pathfinder, under the direction of Admiral Patterson Yorktown was the second ship of the class built after the Intrepid herself, and in early 2371, Archer was launched, and command was handed over to Captain Marcia Taylor.

​Shakedown cruise
Following the launching ceremony, Captain Marcia Taylor took Archer on a shakedown cruise to the area bordering the Demilitarized Zone. During the voyage, the starship's bio-neural gel packs malfunctioned and left Archer stranded in space. The USS Hood (NCC-42296), under Robert DeSoto, rushed to Archer's aid, and she was towed back to Utopia Planitia for repairs.
