The USS Matte Fringe (NCC-12898) was a 24th century Federation starship operated by Starfleet.
In 2364, Captain Rob Legato was the commanding officer of this starship. In that year, this ship was assigned to a classified project. This ship received a list of names that had passed security clearances from Admiral Daniel Curry of the Starfleet Mission Operations Division. Later that year, this order was read by Lieutenant Commander Data during an investigation into an alleged conspiracy in the highest levels of Starfleet Command. (TNG: "Conspiracy", okudagram)
