Star Trek: Armada III begins with the first stirrings of the Dominion War and allows players to take command of five unique factions, the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire, the Cardassian Union/Dominion Alliance, and the Borg Collective. Explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no one has gone before.
2375 - With only a small team of Academy instructors for crew, USS Republic goes into action for the first time in nearly a century, hoping to divert some Breen forces from their assault on Earth, if only for a few minutes.
Connie's may be old, but that means she'll give as good as she gets and then some. I see this and think of a fitting quote.

The fact I swooped in is a iykyk. But only if you've been here long enough to know hehe.
Connies survived service well into the TNG era, though usually light duty and training ships. Some were even casualties in the Wolf 359 response fleet. I wouldn't at all be surprised if a handful were refit and pulled into active combat service during the Dominion War.
Starfleet built their ships to last. Warp cores the size of a walnut? They just seem to be getting bigger each generation Scotty. No worries there.
