The USS Chiron was a Prometheus-class Assault Cruiser in active service to Starfleet during the late 24th century.
The Prometheus class Assault Cruiser USS Chiron.
Vanguard Command[]
The USS Chiron was launched from Coronalis Frontier Fleet Yards in 2384 and commissioned in 2385 as part of the Vanguard Fleet, the mobile arm of Vanguard Command.
As part of Vanguard Command, the USS Chiron's capabilities included:
Offensive capabilities[]
- Type-XII phaser arrays.
- Mark-XII pulse phaser cannons.
- The capacity to launch quantum torpedoes and transphasic torpedoes, the latter only as a last resort.
- A full payload of Khronnian enhanced high-yield photon torpedoes, which were almost powerful as standard quantum torpedoes.
Defensive capabilities[]
- A transporter-welded duranium-tritanium-tetraburnium alloy space frame that can withstand extreme combat and propulsion stresses.
- Enhanced and redundant structural integrity fields, which exponentially increased the ship's ability to maintain the integrity and shape of hulls and bulkheads against the extreme stresses caused by warp fields, weapons, and other motion.
- Ablative hull armor, which rapidly dissipates the energy impacts from directed energy weapon fire and makes the ship endure massive weapons fire even after its shield have been overpowered.
- Ablative generators, which generated a nearly-impenetrable layer of armor around the hull of the ship.
- Enhanced, regenerative, redundant, reinforced, multiphasic, multispectrum, unimatrix defensive shields, which protects the ship from energy weapons and torpedoes for an exponentially longer duration and makes the ship's hull capable of withstanding extremes of temperature and pressure.
- Microdiffracted carbon hull coating that absorbs all visible radiation that fell upon it, making it as black as the space it moved through.
- A sensor stealth system, which masked the ship's warp signature and helped avoid detection during covert operations. Custom-designed warp coil insulators reduced its energy signature almost to nil. As long as radio silence was maintained, the ship could cruise unnoticed through interstellar space.
Propulsion capabilities[]
- Enhanced impulse engines, which can attain sub-light velocities of 0.95c and faster-than-light velocities of Warp 1.2, at "super impulse" bursts, allowing the ship to escape supernovas if the warp drive unexpectedly goes offline.
- An enhanced maneuvering thruster array with retro-thrusters, which exponentially increased the ship's sub-light agility despite its size.
- A Khronnian enhanced warp drive, which allows the ship to travel at a normal cruise speed of Warp 8.5 and a top sustained speed of Warp 9.5.
- A quantum slipstream drive, which allows the ship to travel 300 light years in an hour.
Other capabilities[]
- Bio-neural circuitry, which could process information more efficiently, and therefore speed up computer response time.
- Advanced holodecks for scientific and engineering research and for crew recreation.
- A compact Industrial replicator that could produce starship parts for repair and standard torpedo components for construction.
- A full Long-term Holographic Program Package composed of:
- 3 Mark-III Long-term Command and Navigation Holograms (LCNH)
- 3 Mark-III Long-term Security and Tactical Holograms (LSTH); 1 Hirogen, 1 Gorn, 1 Pahkwa-thanh
- 3 Mark-III Long-term Engineering Holograms (LEH)
- 3 Mark-IX Long-term Medical Holograms (LMH)
Task Force Belligerent[]
In 2385, the USS Chiron was one of two Prometheus-class starships assigned to Task Force Belligerent. The other ship was the USS Aeneas. Task Force Belligerent was the mobile arm of Denorios Command, operating in the Denorios Belt from its sector headquarters at Deep Space 9 II. Both task force and sector command were under the flag command of Rear Admiral Benjamin Sisko.
Condition green[]
Under Condition Green, the USS Chiron was escorted by one Merian-class Fast Frigate and one Diligent-class Heavy Frigate.

Condition yellow[]
Under Condition Yellow, the USS Chiron was part of Mission Group Bravo led by the Sovereign-class Command Cruiser USS T'mura, together with one Norway-class Heavy Frigate, one Intrepid-class Light Cruiser, two Saber-class Fast Frigates, two Merian-class Fast Frigates, two Diligent-class Tactical Frigates, and two Defiant-class Tactical Frigates.

Condition red[]
Under Condition Red-1, the USS Chiron was part of Strike Group Two, also led by the USS T'mura, together with the Luna-class Heavy Cruiser USS Neso, the Akira-class Heavy Cruiser USS Lipan, two Intrepid-class Light Cruisers, four Merian-class Fast Frigates, four Saber-class Fast Frigaates, four Diligent-class Tactical Frigates, four Defiant-class Tactical Frigates, and two Valiant-class Tactical Corvettes.
