abstract | - USS Constellation (NCC-1017) was a Constitution-class heavy cruiser active in the 23rd century. (TOS: "The Doomsday Machine"; Star Fleet Technical Manual) Two fan Treknology sources — the Heavy Cruiser Evolution Blueprints and Ships of the Star Fleet — posited that Constellation had been refit from a Horizon-class vessel, hence the relatively low NCC number. One of Constellation's commanding officers prior to Matthew Decker was Ran Armstrong. (TOS novel: Dreadnought!) Mikhail Manescu was a former chief engineer of the Constellation. After her destruction, Montgomery Scott sent Manescu a letter commiserating with him on the loss. (Star Trek II Biographies) Rebecca Gallaudet, later commander of the first starship to encounter the Tzenkethi, was a navigator and junior science officer on Constellation in the early 2260s. (Star Trek: Shadowstar Station: "Blindspot") Under Commodore Decker's command, Constellation discovered the meta-genome in the Taurus Reach in 2263. (Star Trek: Vanguard novel: Harbinger) Four years later, on stardate 4202.1, Constellation investigated the destruction of solar systems L-370 and L-374. The ship was subsequently attacked by the so-called planet killer and heavily damaged. Commodore Decker beamed his crew down to planet L-374 III, while he remained aboard. The planet killer's next attack took out the ship's transporters, stranding the crew while it destroyed the planet. The Constellation was left adrift. Discovered by the USS Enterprise, it was detonated inside the planet killer, rendering the weapon inert. (TOS: "The Doomsday Machine") However this detonation caused the chronitons within the weapon to become active and sent the device back in time to 2254 where it destroyed Enterprise, creating an alternate timeline, a series of destructive battles known as the Doomsday War. (STNV: "In Harm's Way") Another Constitution-class heavy cruiser would be named Constellation (and given the same registry number); her commander was Captain Mike Walsh. (TOS novel: My Enemy, My Ally) In the early 2280s, the second Constellation, under the command of Captain Carmen Ikeya, would be destroyed when the star Achernar went nova.

- The USS Constellation (NCC-1017) was a 23rd century Federation Constitution-class starship operated by Starfleet. In 2267, the Constellation and her crew of 430 were under the command of Commodore Matt Decker. In that year, on stardate 4202.1, while on routine deep space exploration, the Constellation encountered several destroyed star systems, including systems L-370 through L-374. Although exceptionally heavy subspace interference prevented contact with Starfleet, the ship began to investigate. Upon entering the L-374 system, the ship's science officer, Masada, discovered that L-374 IV was breaking up. Upon closer inspection, an enormous robot was found hovering over it, slicing out chunks of the planet with an antiproton beam. While attempting to intervene, the Constellation was attacked by the planet killer. The ship's deflector shields were easily pierced and the resulting damage crippled the ship, forcing it to hide in the inner system. Nearly without power, all but defenseless, and with the life support system failing, Decker ordered his crew to abandon ship and beam down to L-374 III where they could take refuge. The commodore remained behind to operate the transporters. Attempts to contact Starfleet failed and a distress call was sent out. The robot attacked the Constellation once more, knocking out the transporters and stranding Decker on the ship alone. The robot then proceeded to devour L-374 III, killing the remainder of the ship's crew. The deaths of 430 of his crew had a severe psychological impact on the commodore. A short time later, on stardate 4202.9, the USS Enterprise picked up Constellation's distress call while passing through that sector. The signal was extremely weak and only the word "Constellation" could be made out. The Enterprise soon located the Constellation, adrift, and determined it to be wrecked by the same disaster that destroyed the systems within the sector. The damage analysis on the Constellation found a display of abnormal energy output: all power plants were dead, reserve energy banks were at a very low power level, and the life support systems were barely operative. The entire bridge was damaged and uninhabitable; however, the rest of the ship was able to sustain life. Radiation levels were normal; atmospheric pressure was at eleven pounds per square inch. The ship's computer system was still intact, but its filtration systems were out, and the Constellation's communication systems were shorted out as well. The warp drive was deemed "a hopeless pile of junk", and the impulse engines were not "too badly off" despite having their control circuits fused solid. The ship's phaser banks were nominally operational, but required recharging. Once the Enterprise's landing party beamed aboard the Constellation, they found the entire ship a mess. The landing party split up: Scotty's team went to the engineering section, while Kirk and McCoy tried to find Decker or his crew. However, there were no bodies or survivors present. It was assumed that the crew wasn't abducted, but had simply left. Kirk called Spock on the Enterprise and asked if the crew may have beamed to one of the two planets they found intact when they entered L-374. Spock commented that the two planets were uninhabitable to Human life; one had a surface the temperature of molten lead, and the other had a poisonous atmosphere. From this, they concluded that the entire crew was on one of the now-destroyed Class M planets. Eventually, the landing party found Decker in auxiliary control, passed out. Kirk tried to get everything possible from Decker, but he needed treatment on board the Enterprise. The landing party finally acquired the captain's log and played the recording, discovering the true fate of the destroyed star systems. The Enterprise was prepared to take the Constellation in tow, so Decker and McCoy beamed aboard the Enterprise while Kirk and his party remained. The robot once again returned to L-374 and attacked the Enterprise. After some hasty repairs, the Constellation was operable enough to have a single phaser bank recharged, shield power was temporarily restored, and ½ impulse power was available. However, nothing could be done after the machine had attacked. After the Enterprise had made a number of unsuccessful attempts to stop the robot, it was determined that the only way to destroy it was by exploding the Constellation inside the robot since now the Constellation had little else to offer with its commanding officer and entire crew dead. At first, Kirk thought of activating the ship's destruct system, but, there was not enough power for the destruct system to be put into action. Kirk ordered Scotty to overload the Constellation's impulse engines from auxiliary control in thirty seconds with no way to reverse it. While Scott beamed back aboard the Enterprise and no one else was left aboard the Constellation, Kirk activated the machine. After further rigging the hulk, the impulse engines were overloaded in the maw of the robot creating a 97.835 megaton fusion explosion that destroyed the Constellation and rendered the planet killer inert.

Kommandiert wird sie von Commodore Matt Decker, Vater von Willard Decker, dem Nachfolger und späterem ersten Offizier von Captain Kirk auf der USS Enterprise. Die Constellation untersucht 2267 die Zerstörung mehrerer Föderationswelten durch eine außer Kontrolle geratene Superwaffe. Im Kampf mit diesem „Planeten-Killer“ wird die gesamte Crew, außer Decker, getötet. Die stark beschädigte Constellation wird von Captain Kirk in das Innere des Planeten-Killers gelenkt und dort gesprengt, um diese Superwaffe, die sich der Rigel-Kolonie nähert, auszuschalten. (TOS: )
