The USS Shadow is a captured Romulan Deresus class scout ship. Larger than the standard scout, the Deresus class strikes an excellent balance between nimble maneuverability and heavy weaponry. In addition to enchanced weaponry, the Deresus class also has a small shuttlebay capable of housing two shuttles. The ship, unlike it's predecessors, also has long-term medical facilities and a Holographic Physician based on stolen Federation Technology.

The Shadow was captured during a covert intelligence gathering mission by the crew of the USS Hunter. Her original Romulan name being the K'korrivor, loosely translated as Heaven's End. Her crew, not at that time knowing the translation of the name felt Shadow to be appropriate.

Until her last commanding officer, Captain Reena Harras, the USS Shadow had an unfortunate start to her service with Starfleet. Her first Captain, Alexander Stone, perished in a transporter accident shortly after taking command. Her second Captain, Commander Lincoln Pell, died in an attack by Ssoran mercenaries, again shortly after taking command.

The USS Shadow was captured by Starfleet in 2374 by the crew of the USS Hunter. She was involved in the liberation of New Terra after the SSoran war and was involved in the Falcarian War, during which she undertook a mission to steal an experimental Slipstream-capable ship from the Romulan fleet in the quadrant. The Aehallh Class vessel (USS Phantom) was successfully captured, but at the cost of the USS Shadow. The ship was destroyed late in 2377.
