The USS Huron (NCC-F1913) was a Federation Template:ShipType 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")

Huron personnel

The Huron was the namesake of a Native American tribe of North America.
No class name was ever recorded for this freighter design. One oddity surrounding this ship was the registry number NCC-F1913. This ship and the NCC-G1465 are the only two known canon starships to have a letter before the number. Presumably, the "F" stands for freighter.
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".
