UES Hawaii

The Hawaii was an Intrepid-class United Earth Starfleet starship in service during the mid-22nd century, under the command of Captain Jane Gaughan. It was lost in the Battle of the Southland Relay.

Service
The Hawaii was constructed at Armstrong Lunar Colony in 2149, under command of Captain Jane Gaughan.

During the early Xindi Conflict, the Hawaii was rushed into service to help evacuate Orions and Elorans from their homeworlds during the Borderland Blitz. With only five hours warning, the Hawaii managed to make a hyperspace jump to Botchok with elements of the Fifth Hiigaran Naval Detachment, where Gaughan led the evacuation teams in the capital. Hawaii managed to transport more than 60 Orions off of Botchok and fled the system merely two-hours before the Klingon Seventh Fleet entered the system to annex the Botchok Planetary Congress.

Following this Hawaii was assigned to the Tenth Frigate Screening Element, the forward squadrons of Fleet Admiral Shran's Coalition 3rd Fleet. On 8 June 2154, the Hawaii was part of the fleet that retook Denobula after nine-months of Xindi Occupation, providing point-defense coverage to troop transports making planetfall.

Destruction
The Hawaii was soon assigned to Admiral Jonathan Archer's First Fleet, as part of the Third Frigate Defensive Squadron. The Hawaii was ultimately lost during the Battle of the Southland Relay.

On 27 July 2154, the newly christened Coalition First Fleet jumped through the Southland Relay into the Draylon-system. While the Xindi had fortified the relay, they had never assumed the Coalition would have been able to reverse engineer their mass effect engines. Only a few frigates and a light mine field were stationed near the artifact but still dealt heavy damage to the first wave of Coalition forces, destroying six ships and dealing heavy damage to Archer's flagship the ICS Enterprise. This was however long enough for a galactic position to be calculated and a return signal to be sent through the relay.

FTL and hyperspace capable Coalition forces jumped in with the second Coalition wave from the relay and began to overwhelm the Xindi forces. By the end of the day 21 Xindi ships were destroyed and 2300 officers killed against 18 Coalition vessels destroyed and 870 dead. The ICS Hawaii was among the vessels lost.
