The USS Huygens (NCC-91814) was a Sutherland-class Federation starship in service to Starfleet during the early 25th century.
In 2401, the Huygens joined a Starfleet armada assembled to confront the massive Singularity that emerged from a spatial anomaly. The ship was briefly compromised when the Borg Queen began assimilating the USS Stargazer and obtained its command codes. After an understanding was reached with the Queen, the Huygens joined the Borg in a coordinated effort to deflect a massive energy burst from a newly forming transwarp conduit.

Later that year, the Huygens participated in Frontier Day celebrations near Sol Station. Along with the rest of the fleet, it was seized by the Borg Collective after its younger crew were assimilated by a Borg signal transmitted via Jack Crusher. (PIC: "Võx")
The name and registry of this ship was first provided by Dave Blass. [1](X)
The ship was presumably named for Dutch mathematician and physicist Christiaan Huygens, himself the namesake for the Huygens robotic lander.
The fleet formation displays in "Võx" mistakenly duplicate the Huygens on both the far left and center displays. [2] In the revised list of ships provided by Blass on his Instagram account [3], one of these ships is changed to the USS Ashland.
