abstract | - The USS Saladin (NCC-74350) was a Federation Defiant-class escort starship in service to Starfleet in the late 24th century. In 2375, the Saladin was under the command of Captain Shinoda. The Saladin was part of Starfleet/Klingon patrol. They battled a Jem'Hadar Task Force. Captain Shinoda was killed in the battle and the First officer, Commander Julia Riviera, took command. The Saladin was damaged in the battle and got repaired at Brakrii Shipyard. (TOS - Tales of the Dominion War short story: "Safe Harbors") During the Borg Invasion of 2381, the Saladin was one of the vessels which amassed at the Azure Nebula to defend against the Borg. When the USS Aventine and USS Enterprise-E were over three hours to report back from subspace tunnel twenty-two alpha, Captain Chakotay of the USS Voyager prepared to order the Saladin, the USS T'Kumbra, and the USS Templar through, treating it as a combat sortie. However, tunnel twenty-six opened to allow over seven thousand Borg cubes before the ships could depart, assaulting the allied fleet. (ST - Destiny novel: Mere Mortals)
