U.S.S. Cochrane
Registry NCC-59318
Class Oberth
Commissioned Reference Stardate 2/8805 (May 2351)

The Federation Starship Cochrane, an Oberth class vessel[1] named for the inventor of warp drive, Dr. Zefram Cochrane, was commissioned on Reference Stardate 2/8805 (May 2351).[2] In 2366, the Cochrane performed a survey of the planet Eloh, using only unmanned space probes in an effort to avoid being visible to Elohsian technology, which was equivalent to that of 20th century Earth; the Cochrane found the Elohsian world to be severely damaged by an ongoing military conflict.[3] The following year, on Stardate 44769.2, the Cochrane transported Admiral Norah Satie to the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D.[4] Nearly six months later, on Stardate 45208.2, the Cochrane transported Cadet Wesley Crusher to the Enterprise while he was on leave from Starfleet Academy.[5] On Stardate 46379.1, it transported Dr. Julian Bashir and Lieutenant Jadzia Dax to Deep Space 9.[6][7] In 2371, the Cochrane was ordered to transport dignataries from various Federation planets to Earth so that they could discuss the rising threat from the Dominion. Shortly after, the ship transported Nev Reoh and Starsa to Oppalassa and came under attack by Klingon warships.[8] In 2374, on Stardate 51721.3, the Cochrane reported numerous casualties suffered during the Dominion War.[9]

  1. Although the "Star Trek: The Next Generation Officer's Manual" lists the Cochrane as a Sagan class vessel with the registry of NCC-20005, this class designation was superseded by the Oberth class name, and the ship's registry was given as NCC-59318 on screen.
