The USS Sojourner was a Merian-class Fast Frigate in active service to Starfleet during the late 24th century.

Vanguard Command[]
The USS Sojourner was launched in 2384 from the Coronalis Frontier Fleet Yards and was commissioned in 2385 as part of the Vanguard Fleet, the mobile arm of Vanguard Command.
As part of Vanguard Command, the USS Sojourner's capabilities included:
Offensive capabilities[]
- Type-XII phaser arrays.
- Mark-X pulse phaser cannons.
- The capacity to launch quantum torpedoes.
- A full payload of Khronnian enhanced high-yield photon torpedoes, which were almost powerful as quantum torpedoes.
Defensive capabilities[]
- Enhanced and redundant structural integrity fields, which exponentially increases 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.
- Ablative generators, which generated a nearly-impenetrable layer of armor around the hull of the ship.
- A tritanium and tetraburnium composite alloy hull.
- 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, which 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 zero. As long as radio silence was maintained, the ship could cruise unnoticed through interstellar space.
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.
- 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.
Other capabilities[]
- Bio-neural circuitry, which could process information more efficiently, and therefore speed up computer response time.
- An advanced holosuite for scientific and engineering uses and for crew recreation.
- A full Emergency Holographic Program Package composed of:
- 1 Mark-III Emergency Command and Conn Hologram (ECH)
- 1 Mark-III Emergency Security and Tactical Hologram (ESTH)
- 1 Mark-III Emergency Engineering Hologram (EEH)
- 1 Mark-IX Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH)
- 1 Mark-III Emergency Science Hologram (ESH)
Task Force Dauntless[]
In 2385, the USS Sojourner was one of six Merian-class Fast Frigates assigned to Task Force Dauntless, the mobile arm of Abraxis Command, operating in the Gamma Quadrant from its sector headquarters at Deep Space Gamma-01. Task Force Dauntless and Abraxis Command were under the overall command of Vice Admiral Razal Gibran. The other ships were the USS Sleuth, the USS Errant, the USS Searcher, the USS Ranger, and the USS Pilgrim
Condition green[]
Under Condition Green, the USS Sojourner escorted the Akira-class Heavy Cruiser USS Glaive together with the Saber-class Fast Frigate USS Cavalier.

Condition yellow[]
Under Condition Yellow, the USS Sojourner was part of Mission Group Delta led by the Luna-class Heavy Cruiser USS Europa, toegether with the Akira-class Heavy Cruiser USS Glaive, the Prometheus-class Assault Cruiser USS Valor, the Norway-class Heavy Frigates USS Mercia and USS Flanders, the Saber-class Tactical Frigates USS Phalanx, and USS Guardian, the Merian-class Fast Frigate USS Pilgrim, the Saber-class Fast Frigates USS Cavalier and USS Advocate, and the Defiant-class Tactical Frigates USS Tecumseh, and the USS Lone Horn.

Condition red[]
Under Condition Red-1, the USS Sojourner was part of Strike Group Two, also led by the USS Actium, together with the Luna-class Heavy Cruiser USS Europa, the Akira-class Heavy Cruiser USS Glaive, the Prometheus-class Assault Cruiser USS Valor, the Steamrunner-class Heavy Frigates USS Blackbeard and USS Hornigold, the Norway-class Heavy Frigates USS Mercia and USS Flanders, the Intrepid-class Light Cruisers USS Pursuer and USS Starchaser Saber-class Fast Frigates USS Phalanx, USS Guardian, USS Cavalier, and USS Advocate, the Merian-class Fast Frigates USS Errant, USS Searcher, and USS Pilgrim, and the Defiant-class Tactical Frigates USS Sitting Bull, USS Logan, USS Tecumseh, and USS Lone Horn.
