Not as large as the Galaxy-class starship, it quickly became a leading force in the galaxy. The Sovereign-class USS Enterprise-E was built at the San Francisco Fleet Yards and launched from that facility on stardate 49827.5. (Star Trek: First Contact dedication plaque) Major engagements for the Sovereign class came in 2373 when the USS Enterprise saw action in the Borg incursion into Sector 001, playing a key role in the destruction of the attacking cube. (Star Trek: First Contact) While not a major player in the Dominion War, vessels like the Enterprise-E spent time during the war putting out diplomatic "brush fires" and extending the occasional olive branch as the Federation Diplomatic Corps worked tirelessly to put an end to the war.
