The USS Kaneda (NX-62498) was a 24th century Federation starship, an Akira-class heavy escort prototype in Starfleet service in the 2360s decade. In the year 2367, the Kaneda took part in the Battle of Wolf 359. (STO - Task Force Operation mission: "Battle of Wolf 359")

Service history and disposition[]

The USS Kaneda was part of the fleet of 40 ships assembled by Vice Admiral J.P. Hanson to waylay Borg cube 632^[3] at Wolf 359. Hanson's fleet engaged Locutus' cube in battle and hoped to stop it from reaching Earth in Sector 001. Locutus of Borg, the assimilated Starfleet captain Jean-Luc Picard, used his tactical knowledge to decimate the Federation fleet. The Kaneda was wrecked and effectively destroyed in the battle. (STO - Task Force Operation mission: "Battle of Wolf 359")

In the 2410s, the Kaneda was one of the 29 shipwrecks on display along a docking arm of the Wolf 359 Memorial Station in the Wolf 359 star system. With the intact, decommissioned USS Hood taking a separate docking port, close to the space station's primary hull, the Kaneda occupied in 15th memorial position on the spiraling docking arm.

In 2411, Captain Ezri Dax oversaw a Khitomer Alliance training simulation wherein Alliance starships re-enacted the battle on the holodeck to prepare for combat with the Borg Kingdom from the mirror universe. The Kaneda was one of the ships recreated holographically for the operation. (STO - Task Force Operation mission: "Battle of Wolf 359")

Background[]

• This ship may be named after the Kaneda Castle^WP (金田城) in Japan on Earth as well as Shotaro Kaneda (金田 正太郎), the main protagonist of the 1980s manga and anime movie AKIRA^WP, from which the Akira-class takes its name.
