On stardate 54566.1, the Jefferson was crippled and left derelict in a Borg attack while defending Starbase 176. A task force led by the Enterprise recovered the Jefferson and the other derelict starships and restored them to their former condition. The restored Jefferson helped defend the base against further Borg attacks until the Borg Nexus in the system was destroyed. With the starbase secured, the fleet attacked an incoming Borg convoy and recaptured the USS Douglass from the Borg. (TNG video game: Armada II mission: "Recovery")
