UES California

The California was an Christopher-class United Earth Starfleet starship in service during the mid-22nd century, under the command of Captain Dalia Schwartz. It was lost in the First Battle of Barnard's Star.

Service
The California was constructed at Utopia Planitia, Mars in 2148, under command of Captain Dalia Schwartz.

Destruction
The California was ultimately lost during the First Battle of Barnard's Star.

On 23 April 2154, the Xindi attacked Hellion Prime and attempted to deploy troops to occupy the colony. Heavy sand storms on the surface however caused multiple crashes and delaying actions long enough for counter-attacks by the Coalition to drive the Xindi out of system. Over 12,700 Xindi troops were killed in the costly attack and 38 ships were lost, almost a third of Dhren's atmospheric capable vessels.

11 Coalition ships and 1,106 officers were also lost, including ICS California.
