USS Panama

The USS Panama was an Starfleet cargo transport in service in the 23rd century. It was assigned to Starbase 47-Vanguard in the late 2260s and commanded by Captain Telvane.

In 2268, the Panama was part of the small fleet of starships that defended Vanguard from an attack by a Tholian armada. Along with the USS Sagittarius (NCC-1894), the Panama covered zones one and two around the starbase. During the battle, the transport's starboard s collapsed and the Sagittarius swung in to draw away enemy fire. Not long afterwards, the Panama broke apart before being destroyed in an explosion.
