I.S.S. Vindictive

History
The I.S.S. Vindictive is an Akula Class Terran Destroyer that was built after the liberation of Earth and the signing of the Armistace with the Cardassian-Klingon Alliance.

The Akula Class Destroyer was a very popular ship in the original Terran Empire due to its practical cost in resources and it's quick construction time.

The first Akula Class Imperial Vessel was the I.S.S. Renegade in 2293. The Renegade attempted to stop the I.S.S. Excelsior from making it to the Janus Vortex believing them to be traitors of the empire. In reality, the crew of the I.S.S. Excelsior had switched places with the counterparts from our universe while attempting to rescue the U.S.S. Enterprise in the Janus Vortex.

The I.S.S. Excelsior was able to defeat the Terran Destroyer with a group of fighters which had been discovered inside the Excelsior's shuttlebay when they switched places.

Construction and Initial Assignment
The I.S.S. Vindictive was constructed at Utopia Plantia, utilising archieved Terran schematics from the previous Empire. The ship proved to be grossly outclassed in combat due to its aging design and was almost destroyed while attempting to defend outpost K-7 from Klingon-Cardassian Alliance Forces.

K-7 was ultimately destroyed and the Captain of the Vindictive was executed for failing the Empire, Captain Enrico Erantiz took command of the vessel and with it, managed to secure the vessels continual service to the Empire by surviving the battle of Bajor. The vessel was assigned to Task Force Avenger later.
