The USS Akira (NX-62497, later NCC-62497) was a 24th century Federation starship, an Akira-class heavy cruiser that entered Starfleet service in the 2360s decade. When she was commissioned in the year 2368, the Akira was the prototype for a new class of cruisers. (ST reference: Starship Spotter; Decipher RPG modules: Starfleet Operations Manual, Starships)
Service history and disposition[]
The hull configuration of this new breed of starship was based on the design as a homage to some of the earliest Starfleet exploratory vessels, such as the NX-class. The Akira was also designed to perform border defense duties, which many vessels did during the brief conflict between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. (CCG set: Second Edition)
- This starship class was named after the anime film AkiraWP, according to The Star Trek Encyclopedia.

In the Dominion War.
The Akira took part in the Dominion War. During one engagement, the Akira fired its phasers on a Jem'Hadar dreadnought pursuing the USS Centaur. (SOTL - Ships of the Line calendar: 2021 October image: "The Dominion Conflict Goes Hot")
Akira had been modified for service as a fleet cruiser in active service around the year 2378. (ST video game: Starfleet Command III)
- No specific history or definitive final fate was established for this vessel as its name was randomly selected for a cruiser by the SFC3 games software, and is placed randomly each time the ship appears.
In 2401, the Akira joined a Starfleet armada coordinated by the Singularity to deflect a massive energy burst from a newly formed Transwarp conduit. (PIC Episode: "Farewell") Later the Akira participated in Frrontier Day celebrations in the Sol System. It was among the vessels siezed by the Borg Collective after its younger crew were assimilated by a Borg signal transmitted via Jack Crusher. (PIC episode: "Võx")
