The USS Helios (NCC-63284) was an Akira-class Federation starship in service to Starfleet during the early 25th century.
In 2401, the Helios joined a Starfleet armada assembled to confront the massive Singularity that emerged from a spatial anomaly. The ship was briefly compromised when the Borg Queen began assimilating the USS Stargazer and obtained its command codes. After an understanding was reached with the Queen, the Helios joined the Borg in a coordinated effort to deflect a massive energy burst from a newly forming transwarp conduit.

Later that year, the Helios participated in Frontier Day celebrations near Sol Station. Along with the rest of the fleet, it was seized by the Borg Collective after its younger crew were assimilated by a Borg signal transmitted via Jack Crusher. (PIC: "Vox")
The name and registry of this ship was first provided by Dave Blass. [1](X)
The ship was presumably named after Helios, the Greek Titan of the sun.
