After the Dominion War, and the return of the USS Voyager, Starfleet sees reason to begin building up their military forces once more. The successful Prometheus Project yields hope for the Federation as more of the class is put into service. Among these, the USS Sequoyah, sent abroad throughout the Federation, keeping the peace, whether it be relieving colonies from natural disaster, studying the newest discovery or averting galactic war, the Sequoyah and her crew are always on the front lines. Will they survive all that the Milky Way can throw at them? Find out in the evergoing mission, Star Trek: Sequoyah.
Welcome to the USS Sequoyah! Our ship's name has a deep history, originating from the tribe of the Native American Cherokee people. In the 1800s, a man known to the Cherokee as Sogwali, and to the white men as George Guess. He was given the name Sequoyah by missionaries, and is best known by this name. Sequoyah studied deeply the languages of English, French, German, and a number of other European languages. After years of work, he was the first to succeed in containing the complex Cherokee language to an eighty-five character written language, instead of being strictly oral as it had been for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
This ship is named in honor of the great Cherokee and the people of that tribe. I myself am Cherokee, and give you a red man's welcome. Please take a look around the site, and feel free to e-mail me for questions, comments, or are interested in joining the ship. Enjoy!

USS Sequoyah
In 2372, The Federation began trade with the Dominion member species Karemma. The Ferengi acted as neutral intermediaries and gouged the Karemma with fabricated taxes and tariffs. In 2372, a Karemman vessel commanded by Trade Minister Hanok met with the USS Defiant to discuss their complaints about the trade duties. During the meeting, the ships were intercepted by two Jem'Hadar attack ships. All four ships entered the atmosphere of a gas giant, where the Defiant was able to destroy the Jem'Hadar ships and rescue the crew of the Karemman ship.
