The Federation Starship Canopus was the lead vessel of the Canopus class research cruiser,[1] and was commissioned on Reference Stardate 1/9206 (June 2192).[2] The Canopus and her sister ships provided extensive scientific facilities in support of exploratory missions in the Federation's Sagittarian arm.[1] While the class served during the Four Years War, it did not actively participate in the conflict.[2] The Canopus' service life was cut short, however, and the name was passed on to the Tikopai class U.S.S.
