HISTORY
USS Shiloh was authorised in 2368 as "Battle Cruiser, Intermediate, Experimental" for dealing with the Borg.

In 2369, after months of research, Starfleet decided to modify the [[Sovereign Class], currently in preproduction, to build the IBCX. In 2370, the keel was laid for the first of class. Starfleet selected the name USS Shiloh, which had been originally tagged to be the 4th Sovereign class (That ship later became USS Repulse.)

in 2373, Captain Jim Phaserman was assigned as Commanding Officer, USS Shiloh. She was commissioned into service just prior to the start of the Dominion War.
