This is one of a number of ships to be so named, succeeding the earlier Saber-class USS Triumph and followed by another Defiant-class USS Triumph by the year 2376. (Last Unicorn RPG module: The Price of Freedom, Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual; ST video games: Armada, Armada II) The ship may be named for numerous vessels from history, all named for common meaning of the term "triumph". The RPG Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 1: The Ships of Starfleet, published by Last Unicorn Games after they had lost their Star Trek license, lists the Triumph registry as NCC-65129.
