The USS Saratoga was a Template:ShipClass Federation starship active during the late 24th century. She was the replacement for the USS Saratoga lost in the Battle of Wolf 359 and commissioned in the late 2360's. (DS9: "Emissary")
Ryan, a Starfleet officer, served aboard this ship in 2369. That year, he competed against Keith Rocha on Relay Station 47. (TNG: "Aquiel")
In 2371, the Saratoga assisted the USS Farragut and an Oberth class vessel in recovering the crew of USS Enterprise-D from Veridian III, following the forced crash-landing of its saucer section. (Star Trek Generations)
Two years later, the Saratoga docked at Deep Space 9. Following its arrival Jadzia Dax hoped to have a party, where she promised not to invite more than fifty or sixty guests. Worf, who found the idea unappealing, foresaw 200 people jammed into their quarters eating, drinking and laughing before all was said and done. Although Dax would continue to make a persuasive argument to Worf, the idea was eventually canceled. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")
Appendices
Background
The Saratoga was a reuse of the USS Saratoga model from DS9 "Emissary", which in turn was a reuse of the USS Reliant model built for Star Trek II, relabeled with a new registry. The model was slightly modified, namely sensor pods from the previous Saratoga were removed and a rollbar was reinstalled. Otherwise, the model was left the same, including the registry NCC-31911.[1] It is highly unlikely that the two Saratogas would share the same registry.
The Saratoga may have been named for the USS Saratoga, an aircraft carrier.
Apocrypha
The novel Saratoga also states that this Saratoga is a Miranda-class ship, with the unlikely registry of NCC-31911-A.
In the Star Trek: Voyager comic book Ghosts, additional survivors of the Saratoga were found in the Delta Quadrant, carried there by a temporal rift.
In Star Trek: Armada II, the Saratoga is a Sovereign-class starship.
