Changes: USS Huron

Revision as of 17:05, 22 October 2013

The USS Huron (NCC-F1913) was a Federation Huron-type freighter that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-23rd century. In 2270, the ship was under the command of Captain O'Shea.

In that year, the Huron was carrying a load of dilithium when it was required to rendezvous with the USS Potemkin to transfer a vital supply of a medication called strobolin to choriocytosis-stricken USS Enterprise.

En route, the Huron was intercepted, attacked and raided by Orion pirates, who sabotaged her engines before making off with her cargo.

Upon the rescue of her crew by the Enterprise, the hulk of the Huron was abandoned as "space junk." (TAS: "The Pirates of Orion")

The Huron was the namesake of a Native American tribe of North America.
No class name was ever given to this freighter design. This ship and the NCC-G1465 ships are the only canon starships to have a further letter prefix, after the "-", before the number, in their registry.

Although the ship was manned by Starfleet officers, this vessel was consistently referred to as the "SS" Huron, rather than the "USS" Huron. Despite this, the hull clearly reads "USS Huron".

-The ''Huron'' is the namesake of a [[Native American]] tribe of [[North America]], as well as a [[wikipedia:Lake Huron|lake]], also named after the same tribe.
-The ''Huron'' was the first Federation registered Starfleet ship design besides the [[Constitution class|''Constitution''-class]] to ever be shown onscreen. No class name was ever recorded for this [[Huron type|freighter design]], although non-[[canon]] references sometimes mention it as ''Independence''-class. One oddity surrounding this ship is the [[registry number]] NCC-F1913, since no other canon starship since has ever used a letter prefix in the number field of the registry. Presumably, the "F" stands for freighter.

-Scaling references used by the animators show the freighter in comparison to ''Enterprise''. The ''Huron'' appears to be approximately 110 meters in length and 60 meters in height, although this is strictly a ballpark figure, no specific size scale is canonically verified. These figures roughly correspond to deck heights determined by the placement of windows on the ship's [[hull]].

-Although the ship was manned by Starfleet officers this vessel was consistantly referred to as as the "[[SS (registry)|SS]]" ''Huron'', rather than the "[[USS]]" ''Huron'', as in the case of the [[SS Tsiolkovsky|SS ''Tsiolkovsky'']].
