The USS Amissa Anima was originally a Heavy Destroyer constructed in 2245 by Starleet.  It served as a ship of the line for 5 years until it was put through its initial refit in 2250.  Currently the ship is under the command of [[Victoria Romana]], it was being used as a high security prison vessel since 2321.  In 2387 the vessel was the site of an uprising where the notorious Crimson Serpent, who was in custody, took over the ship.  The ship is currently a renegade vessel under her command.

== Modifications ==
The vessel was refit extensively to support life as a prison ship, housing a total of 60 high value and highly dangerous prisoners.

=== Defensive Upgrades ===
The vessel was outfit with a cloaking device allowing it to obtain refuel and resupply even near populated systems without arousing suspicion.  Enhanced deflector shield systems are also in place, when the ship is stationary it can engage 2 different levels of deflector shields, including a high output static shield bubble and a secondary deflector shield closer to the hull.  The hull itself can also be polarized to prevent magnetic locking onto the hull by outside vessels.

=== Auxiliary Upgrades ===
The [[transporter]] systems of the ship were upgraded to extend range and capacity.  All transporter systems in the secondary hull were deactivated and had key components removed to prevent operation.  The vessel's tractor beam is also altered for higher output giving it longer range and more pulling ability.  With the idea in mind that the vessel would be as self sufficient as possible, it contains high output replicators as well as the equipment to manage repairs even for 15 years without docking at a repair / resupply facility.

=== Prison Population ===
The secondary hull was heavily modified and could be entirely sealed off from the primary hull and saucer.  Access points across decks 9 and 10 allowed bulkheads to be dropped at every intersection on each deck and between decks.  These bulkheads and corresponding force fields had independent power sources from each section.  Deck 9's systems were powered by systems on Deck 8 and Deck 10's systems powered by systems on Deck 9.  The prisoner population was secured in the secondary hull.

=== Auxiliary Control ===
Auxiliary control in the secondary hull was modified and altered, while it was designed to command the vessel if needed -- it was primarily used as a command center for security of the prison itself.  Security communications and tactical responses went through the auxiliary control room first.  This allowed for quick response to any threats.  The auxiliary control room could be override by the main bridge and engineering within the primary hull.

== History ==
; 2245 : Initial construction completed and ship deployed for defensive purposes along the [[Federation]]-Romulan boarder.
; 2250 : First major refit with significant upgrades to space frame, propulsion, computers, and sensors.  Deployed again along the Federation-Romulan boarder.
; 2258 : Reassigned to defensive positions for Alpha Quadrant, particularly patrol missions serving key Federation worlds.
; 2264 : Reassigned again to high value transport missions, particular supply runs into hazardous regions.
; 2281 : Taken out of active duty as part of rolling fleet upgrades, parked at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards orbiting Mars in the Sol system.
; 2321 : Extensive refits performed and put back into active duty as a prison ship for the [[United Federation of Planets]].
; 2378 : Prisoner revolt aboard ship saw vessel commandeered by prisoner population.

=== Prisoner Revolt ===
In mid-2387 long-term prisoner [[Victoria Romana the Crimson Serpent|Victoria Romana]] (AKA Crimson Serpent) staged a revolt and managed to gain control of the Auxiliary Control room.  Having spent decades learning about designs from the past, she was able to bypass the override control from the bridge and engineering.  From there she used the skills of several of her fellow prisoners to re-enabled the transporters in the secondary hull and beam the Starlet crew off the ship and into deep space.  Since then the vessel has been wanted and classified as a renegade / rogue vessel.  Two Federation attempts to re-take the vessel failed as Victoria had already changed the ships prefixed codes.  The second attempt was very costly for the Federation as she allowed the security team onto the ship to buy time to repair damage to the engines sustained in the first attempt.  Using the very bulkheads designed to keep her and her fellow prisoners in place, she trapped the security team in the secondary hull and blew them out into space once the engines were sufficiently repaired.  Since then, there has been no contact with the vessel.
