The USS Saratoga (NCC-31911) was a 24th century Federation Miranda-class starship operated by Starfleet in the mid-2360s. In 2365, Captain Martin Jedlicka led a deep space exploration mission of Sector 002.

By 2366, command of the ship had transferred to a Vulcan, named Storil. In that year, he commanded the Saratoga as part of a fleet of forty starships massed at Wolf 359 in defense of Sector 001 during an incursion by a Borg cube. During the battle, the cube locked the Saratoga in a tractor beam, draining her shields until they eventually failed. The Borg then fired a cutting beam at the Saratoga, scoring a direct hit on decks 1 through 4 as well as causing devastating damage. Most notably, the warp core suffered heavy damage that would lead to antimatter containment failure. Many died, including the captain.

The first officer, Lieutenant Commander Benjamin Sisko, ordered the crew and civilians to escape pods. Commander Sisko escaped with his son Jake, but his wife Jennifer perished during the attack. The ship was ultimately destroyed by a Borg cutting beam in combination with a warp core breach.
