List of unnamed Federation starships of the Miranda-class.

Stranded in Spacedock

Stranded in spacedock

In 2286, this starship was disabled, during a layover in the Earth Spacedock, by an unknown alien probe. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

This ship would seem to have been referred to as the "USS Intrepid" in an early draft of the script, though the display graphics, mentioned below, favor a Constitution-class vessel. That being said, it is more likely that she is one of the three Miranda-class starships displayed on the graphics featured in the movie, which were later sold at the It's A Wrap! sale and auction.

Qualor II hulks

In 2368, the hulks of two starships were stored at Surplus Depot Z15 in orbit of Qualor II. (TNG: "Unification I")

Evacuation of Veridian III

The USS Farragut leads an Oberth-class starship and this starship from Veridian III

In 2371, this starship assisted the USS Farragut and an Oberth-class starship in recovering the crew of USS Enterprise-D from Veridian III, following the forced crash landing of its saucer section. (Star Trek Generations)

The visual effects model of the USS Reliant was still marked as the USS Saratoga from DS9: "Emissary" on the saucer, while the "rollbar" had the name and registry of the USS Brattain from TNG: "Night Terrors". [1]

Battle of Sector 001

In 2373, two starships fought against the Borg in the Battle of Sector 001.

The first starship was on the starboard side of the Borg cube firing photon torpedoes as the ship approached Earth.

The second starship was on the port side of Borg cube attempting to evade the Borg's tractor beam as it targeted nearby ships, including an Akira-class starship, and the USS Defiant. (Star Trek: First Contact)

All Miranda-class vessels depicted here were done as first-time CGI, with the model built at Industrial Light & Magic. One of the registries used is NCC-31911, the same registry number as USS Saratoga.

Gilhouly's task force

Romulan warbirds join initial Federation-Klingon task force — A portion of Gilhouly's task force, including three *Miranda*-class starships

In mid-2373, these three starships, accompanied by two Excelsior-class starships, were part of Admiral Gilhouly's task force that arrived at Deep Space 9 to assist the space station against the Dominion threat, shortly after they entered the Alpha Quadrant and were joined by the Cardassians. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")

Second Fleet

In late 2373, several of these starships belonged to the Second Fleet.

While the Dominion attacked Deep Space 9, during the Second Battle of Deep Space 9, several of these vessels crossed the Cardassian border and destroyed the Dominion shipyards on Torros III. These ships later joined with the USS Defiant and IKS Rotarran, following the evacuation of DS9, for a counterattack against the Dominion forces. (DS9: "Call to Arms")

Three months after the start of the war at least three of these vessels were part of the retreating Second Fleet. (DS9: "A Time to Stand")

Stationed at Starbase 375

In 2374, several of these starships were on patrol near Starbase 375, while the USS Defiant was stationed there, early during the Dominion War in 2374. Other ships present during those periods included the IKS Rotarran, USS Defiant, and USS Centaur. (DS9: "Sons and Daughters", "Behind the Lines")

Operation Return

After these starships, composed of elements from the Second and Fifth Fleets, gradually came together at the starbase, they prepared to retake Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Favor the Bold", "Sacrifice of Angels")

Deep Space 9 stationed starships

These four starships were stationed on patrol near Deep Space 9 following the retake of the starbase in 2374 through the end of the war in 2375. They often patrolled with a mixed lot of Bajoran, Klingon or Romulan vessels.

Their assignment began shortly after the starbase was retaken by the Federation in 2374, when they three of the four were accompanied by three Klingon Birds-of-Prey, two Galaxy-class starships, a Vor'cha-class attack cruiser, and a Bajoran interceptor. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited") The same grouping of ships was again present at DS9 in 2375. (DS9: "Strange Bedfellows", "Tacking Into the Wind")

They remained on patrol following the arrival of Sirella's transport. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited")

Later these starships, along with the two Galaxy-class starships and the Bajoran interceptor, were again present at DS9. (DS9: "The Reckoning")

Prior to the first Battle of Chin'toka, two of these starships were joined by three D'deridex-class Warbirds, three Birds-of-Prey, two Galaxy-class starships, and a Bajoran interceptor. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")

One of the four was solely patrolling in early 2375. (DS9: "Afterimage") Later, three of the four were on patrol. (DS9: "Treachery, Faith and the Great River")

"You Are Cordially Invited" had essentially four different exterior scenes depicting what is counted here as the same group of Miranda-class vessels in various combinations of similar groupings of other ships.

Gaila's prison starbase patrols

Federation starbase patrolled by Federation starships

These six starships, along with two Excelsior-class starships, were on patrol near the Federation starbase where Quark's cousin Gaila was imprisoned in 2374. (DS9: "The Magnificent Ferengi")

First Battle of Chin'toka

(DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")

Second Battle of Chin'toka

Miranda at Chintoka 2375 — *Miranda*-class ship at Chin'toka

This starship participated in the Second Battle of Chin'toka in 2375. Hit by the Breen energy dampening weapon, it was destroyed when it suffered a direct hit to its saucer section. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil")

Battle of Cardassia

These starships participated in the invasion of Cardassia.

One of the ships was being chased by a Breen warship when the Dominion forces began their retreat to Cardassia Prime. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")

Fleet assembled near Earth

These starships were part of a fleet that assembled around a transwarp aperture that opened near Earth in mid-2378 and engaged Sphere 634 upon its emergence from the collapsing transwarp network. (VOY: "Endgame")
