U.S.S. Tsiolkovsky NCC-53911
The Federation Starship Tsiolkovsky, an Oberth class vessel, was commissioned in March 2342.[2] In 2363, on Stardate 41209.2, the Tsiolkovsky was discovered adrift in orbit of STAR NAME, its entire crew dead from the effects of the Psi 2000 Virus. The Tsiolkovsky was destroyed when the star, which was entering into an unstable expansion phase, released a fragment of stellar matter that vaporized the ship upon impact.[1]
Note
Named for Human space pioneer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.[3] Although the "Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual" lists the Tsiolkovsky as a Sagan class vessel with the registry of NCC-20000, this class designation was superseded by the Oberth class name, and the ship's registry was clearly given as NCC-53911 on screen. The information provided makes it clear that the Tsiolkovsky listed in the "Officer's Manual" was intended to represent the same vessel, so the conflicting information must be disregarded.
