The USS Protostar (NX-76884) was a Protostar-type Federation starship launched by Starfleet during the late 24th century.

History

The Protostar was under the command of Captain Chakotay for a mission in the Delta Quadrant. (PRO: "Kobayashi") It was equipped with a holographic training advisor known as Hologram Janeway, modeled after Chakotay's former commanding officer, Captain Kathryn Janeway, and holographic projectors in multiple areas of the ship. (PRO: "Lost and Found", et al.)

By 2366, the Protostar was abandoned and located deep inside Tars Lamora. The Diviner spent many years searching for it, establishing the Tars Lamora prison colony to conduct and finance his efforts. (PRO: "Lost and Found")

During the mission, Chakotay sent out a mayday reporting that the Protostar had encountered an anomaly and was being boarded, as Drednok forced his way onto the bridge. Later, the artificial lifeform placed blocks in the ship's main computer to conceal information about its original crew and purpose, partially using the Vau N'Akat language as a passcode encryption. He also uncovered Chakotay's command authorization codes. (PRO: "Kobayashi", "First Con-tact", "Time Amok")

In 2383, it was accidentally discovered by Dal R'El and Rok-Tahk buried in the Northwest Crevasse within the prison colony. (PRO: "Lost and Found")

After escaping Tars Lamora, the ship encountered a binary system. (PRO: "Starstruck") Under Janeway's advisement, the crew continued on to investigate a Class M planet located in the Hirogen system, where the ship was nearly consumed by the cilium-like vegetation that inhabited the planet before nearly being captured by The Diviner. (PRO: "Dream Catcher", "Terror Firma")

They succeed at escaping the REV-12 when the ship's proto-drive was engaged, and the ship was hurdled nearly 4,000 light years to the border of the Gamma Quadrant. Around this time, Murf discovered the ship's holodeck, which included such holoprograms as Andoria IV, Ceti Alpha V skydiving, kal-if-fee gladiator match, Count Dracula, 1885 Deadwood South Dakota, Janeway Lambda One, and the Kobayashi Maru scenario. (PRO: "Kobayashi")
