USS Yamato

Starfleet deep‑space operations and crisis response; shipboard forensic precedent for interstellar contagion incidents

Description

The USS Yamato operates as a Starfleet deep‑space vessel whose sudden disintegration and catastrophic crew losses become a narrative catalyst. Yamato's ship logs yield forensic evidence tying an Iconian probe/program to systemic failures, and her fate frames the crisis confronting the Enterprise. Functioning within Starfleet's hierarchical fleet structure and described as a sister ship to the Enterprise, Yamato serves both as precedent for contagion risk and as the emotional touchstone driving investigative and command responses.
