Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow: The following content contains spoilers!

The USS Dauntless (NCC-80816) was a 24th century Federation starship, a Dauntless-class^[1] vessel in Starfleet service by the 2380s decade, under the command of Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway in the year 2384. (PRD episode: "A Moral Star")

By the 2410s decade of the 25th century, the Dauntless was categorized as a tier 6-rated Dauntless II-class command science dreadnought. The Dauntless II was molded by Janeway's experiences as captain of USS Voyager and equipped with a quantum slipstream drive. (STO website: Incursion: Command the Dauntless II!)

B'Elanna Torres served as project lead for the development of this class. She suggested the name Dauntless as a solemn reminder of their time aboard Voyager in the Delta Quadrant. (Instagram - Star Trek Logs - Prodigy post: Janeway - Vice Admiral's Log )

During her time as captain of Voyager in the 2370s, Janeway had encountered a fake Federation starship created by Arturis of Species 116. This Dauntless-class vessel introduced Starfleet to the quantum slipstream drive. The Dauntless itself was lost to the Borg in the year 2374. (VOY episode: "Hope and Fear")

In 2381, Captain Carol Freeman noted in a crew handbook for her ship that the California-class USS Cerritos did not have the bleeding-edge technology of the Dauntless. (LD module: Lower Decks - Crew Handbook)

The bridge of Starfleet's Dauntless resembled that of the NX-01-A. (PRD episode: "A Moral Star, Part 2"; VOY episode: "Hope and Fear")

Starfleet's own USS Dauntless was searching for the USS Protostar, an experimental starship equipped with another advanced FTL engine, the protostar drive^[5]. Under the command of Janeway, the Dauntless was on a mission to search for the missing USS Protostar. In 2384, sensors detected the signature of the proto-drive, and Janeway ordered to follow the trail at maximum warp. (PRD episode: "A Moral Star, Part 2")

On stardate 61224.9, the Dauntless was en route to the last known location of the Protostar, traveling from the Carina Nebula near the Beta-Delta border. At the time, Janeway found it weird to command the Dauntless after years behind a desk at Starfleet Command. (Instagram - Star Trek Logs - Prodigy post: Janeway - Vice Admiral's Log )

From 2411 onwards, flag officers of the Khitomer Alliance could deploy the Dauntless II alongside other spacecraft for assignments across the galaxy's quadrants as part of Operation: Delta Rising's four-quadrant strategy. (STO - Incursion mission: "Admiralty System")
