The USS Martel (NCC-73196) was an Akira-class Federation starship in service in the late 24th century. The Martel was a heavy participant in the Dominion War as part of the 605th Tactical Wing, Starfleet Eighth Fleet, spending the first two-thirds of the war defending Andoria and later often fought along the front lines. During the early part of 2374, the Martel was commanded by Captain Anderson Matthews. (LUG RPG: The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon)
