USS Hornet (NCC-45231)

The USS Hornet (NCC-45231) was a Renaissance-class Federation starship in service in the late 24th century.

The Hornet was part of the Captain Picard's hurriedly thrown-together task force that blockaded the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War in 2368. The ships of this task force formed a tachyon detection grid in order to detect cloaked ships trying to make it over the border. (TNG: "Redemption, Part II")

During the latter stages of thr Dominion War, the Hornet put in for repairs at Deep Space 9 in 2375. (DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")


 * The Hornet's class and registry number come from the Starship Mission Status chart first seen on a viewscreen in TNG: "Brothers".


 * The Hornet is named after ten ships of the British Royal Navy and eight ships of the American United States Navy.
