The USS Credence (NCC-2604) was a Federation Credence-type starship operated by Starfleet during the 32nd century.
In 3190, J'Vini stole a shipment of dilithium that the Credence was delivering to a planet, killing first officer Commander Patrick Fickett in the process when he tried to stop her. As this was the fourth such theft she had committed, Starfleet had hidden a tracker with the dilithium that allowed them to locate her base of operations. (DIS: "Choose to Live")
When Earth was threatened by the Dark Matter Anomaly later that year, the Credence participated in the evacuation effort. It was able to complete its evacuation orders and depart before the Starfleet position became untenable. (DIS: "Coming Home")
In 3191, the Credence was one of four starships recalled to Federation Headquarters as reinforcements against a Breen dreadnaught. (DIS: "Erigah")
Lee Fitzgerald posted concept artwork of the ship online, stating that it "was originally an early design for a different ship [...] my rationale was that it was an older workhorse that had been in service for a long time and was ultimately refitted with the trademark 32nd century floating tech."
