The USS Regent is a Jupiter-class Fleet Carrier classified as a "super capital starship" in active service to Starfleet during the late 24th century.
The Jupiter class Fleet Carrier USS Regent.
Vanguard Command[]
The USS Regent was launched from the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards in 2384, and was commissioned in 2385. It was one of three Jupiter-class Fleet Carriers constructed by Starfleet Corps of Engineers as part of the Vanguard Fleet, the mobile arm of Vanguard Command.
Like the other flagships constructed for Vanguard Command, the USS Regent's capabilities included:
Offensive capabilities[]
- Type-XII phaser arrays.
- Mark-XII pulse phaser cannons.
- A full payload of Khronnian enhanced high-yield photon torpedoes, which were almost powerful as quantum torpedoes.
- The capacity to launch quantum torpedoes and transphasic torpedoes, the latter only as a last resort.
- A diverse and combat-modified complement of auxiliary crafts.
- An 80-man Starfleet Commando Force for special away team missions and even black ops mission.
Defensive capabilities[]
- 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.
- 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 insterstellar space.
- Advanced holographic emitters, which give the ship the ability to alter its appearance by disguising itself as another object, such as an asteroid.
Propulsion capabilities[]
- Enhanced impulse engines that can attain sub-light velocities of 0.95c and faster-than-light velocities of Warp 1.2.
- An enhanced maneuvering thruster array with retro-thrusters which exponentially increased the ship's agility despite its size.
- A Khronnian enhanced warp drive that allows it to travel at a normal cruise speed of Warp 8.5 and a top sustained speeds of Warp 9.5.
- A quantum slipstream drive that allows the ship to travel 300 light years in an hour, though in 10 hour bursts every 6 hours.
Other capabilities[]
- Bio-neural circuitry, which could process information more efficiently, and therefore speed up computer response time.
- Advanced holodecks.
- Industrial replicators that could produce starship parts 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)
- 4 Mark-III Long-term Security and Tactical Holograms (LSTH)
- 6 Mark-III Long-term Engineering Holograms (LEH)
- 3 Mark-IX Long-term Medical Holograms (LMH)
- 3 Mark-III Long-term Health Care Holograms (LHCH)
- 3 Mark-III Long-term Science Holograms (LSH)
Task Force Regent[]
The USS Regent was assigned to serve as the flagship of Task Force Regent, the mobile arm of Berengaria Command, the field division of Vanguard Command located near the galactic meridian of the Gamma Quadrant from the Alpha Quadrant, near the borders of the Breen Confederacy. It was placed under the command of Rear Admiral Mackenzie Calhoun, the concurrent Fleet Commander of Task Force Regent and Sector Commander of Berengaria Command. Like the rest of its task force, the ship's headquarters and home base is Starbase 514, which orbits Berengaria VII in the Berengarius System.
The USS Regent and its task force patrolled the area of Federation space near the borders of the Breen Confederacy in the Alpha Quadrant, which was nearest unexplored space leading towards the Gamma Quadrant.
As flagship of Task Force Regent, it led 58 other combat-oriented starships during task force formation. As the flagship of Rear Admiral Mackenzie Calhoun, its flag bridge also served as the mobile Sector Command hub of Anuva Command whenever he was onboard. It was a combination of briefing room, operations center and workplace from which he could keep a weather eye on the ships of the task force and on the situation over dozens of star systems covered by Berengaria Command. The Hub was dominated by a large, oval holotable, with virtual panes hanging suspended in the air above it and a gesture-sensitive interface. It also had an office area behind glass walls at the far end of the room for the Sector Commander.
Task Force Regent
Condition Green[]
During Condition Green, the USS Regent was always accompanied by a permanently attached escort complement of one Diligent-class Tactical Frigate, one Defiant-class Tactical Frigate, and four Valiant-class Tactical Corvettes.

Condition Yellow[]
During Condition Yellow, the USS Regent served as flagship of Mission Group Alpha, which was comprised of one Akira-class Heavy Cruiser, two Saber-class Fast Frigates, two Merian-class Fast Frigates, two Diligent-class Tactical Frigates, two Defiant-class Tactical Frigates and four Valiant-class Tactical Corvettes.

Condition Red-1[]
During Condition Red-1 the USS Regent served as flagship of Strike Group One, which was comprised of the Luna-class Heavy Cruiser USS Phobos, two Akira-class Heavy Cruisers, one Prometheus-class Assault Cruiser, one Norway-class Heavy Frigate, one Intrepid-class Light Cruiser, four Saber-class Fast Frigates, four Merian-class Fast Frigates, four Diligent-class Tactical Frigates, four Defiant-class Tactical Frigates, and four Valiant-class Tactical Corvettes.

Special Missions[]
During very critical situations where the rest of the task force was preoccupied with their own missions, the USS Regent and its companion ships form a temporary battle group with a combination of other ships. One combination was with the RRF starships assigned to Beta Circini Command, the USS Phoenix and the USS Chagri.

On occasions when the USS Regent is required to go on critical missions alone, it was temporarily replaced by the Odyssey-class Command Battleship USS Glorious, the alternate flagship of Task Force Regent.
