Star Trek: 12 Biggest Losses Starfleet Ever Faced

12. Destruction Of The USS Odyssey

While the Odyssey may only be a single ship, this attack by the Jem'hadar was the first depicition of just how destructive this new enemy was going to be. Star Trek The Next Generation centered around the Enterprise-D, a beautiful Galaxy class ship, the same class as Odyssey.

The logic here echoed the logic of depicting the broken hull of a Constitution class ship in the aftermath of the Battle of Wolf 359. Both of these depictions served to let the new audience know that, had Kirk been at Wolf 359 or Picard in the Gamma Quadrant, their experience and skill would have come to naught against this new foe.
