The USS Bartram was one of two Federation starships (the other being the USS Goodall) that went missing in the Rogets system during a joint planetary survey in 2384. According to survivors, the ships were ambushed by several Rakelli frigates and the crews imprisoned on planet Beta Thoridor II. The ships were then used as decoys by the Rakelli two months later and crashed into Unity One Starbase to try and damage the station. The ships were completely destroyed in this incident, but the station only suffered minor damage due to the small target area of the explosions. The crews of these ships were able to escape a day later when Captain Puto and Captain Lewis infiltrated the Beta Thoridor II base. (Star Trek: Unity (fan film series))
