The USS Highlander (NCC-74962) is an Intrepid-class starship commissioned in 2384 under the command of Captain Tim Williams. The ship was originally assigned to the task force known as Sigma Division in its explorations of the Gamma Quadrant, and was then assigned for a number of years to Epsilon Force, exploring the closest regions of the Delta Quadrant. The ship was almost completely destroyed during a crash landing in a classified incident on the planet of Talos IV, and was reconstructed over the following two years, being re-launched in 2388.

History
Construction and Launch
The Highlander was built at Antares Ship Yards in the Bajoran sector. Construction was supervised by Lieutenant Commander X, many of the innovations and improvements developed by the crew of the Starship Voyager were included in the Highlanders design, such as the astrometrics lab and sensors, which effectively superseded the standard stellar cartography lab used by all other vessels. Some of the Highlanders technology was derived from technology originally used by the Borg, and adapted to fit Federation technology by the former drone known as Seven of Nine.
On stardate XXXXX.X, in the year 2383, the Highlander was launched from the Antares Yards. Six months later, on stardate XXXXX.X, the Highlander was commissioned.
Final systems completion and shakedown was conducted at space station Deep Space Nine. Captain Tim Williams took command of the ship on stardate XXXXX at the order of Vice Admiral Jill Garner.

Crew
As of 2390, at least 8 species were represented among the 155-strong crew compliment, including El-Aurian, Andorian, Vulcan, Selkie, Ktarian, Arkenite, Aurelian and Human.
Although Starfleet crewmembers staff the vital positions on board the Highlander, civilian crewmembers are allowed to hold important jobs in the ship's science and medical departments, as well as support areas like the mess hall. Though the ship has the facilities and capability to support civilians aboard, unlike the much larger Galaxy-class ships, the Highlander does not usually support the families of its crew members, except in individual circumstances as determined by Captain Williams.
Crew evaluations are conducted every six months, and are supervised by the ship's Executive Officer, Commander Gaius Ra-Xialii.
Commanding Officers
Although Captain Tim Williams has commanded the Highlander for most of the starship's life, his former first officer, Jonathan Black, was promoted to captain in 2386 after Williams was assigned to Starfleet Headquarters, and was in nominal command during the events which lead to the ship's crash-landing on Talos IV. From 2386 through to 2388, the ship was without a captain due to the extensive repair works, but officially fell under the command of Captain Gret th'Razorai, the commander of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers yard within which the Highlander was berthed.
