USS Chekov (Excelsior class)

The USS Chekov was an Excelsior-class Federation starship in service in the 24th century.

In 2367, she was launched (or re-launched) as a replacement for the USS Chekov (NCC-57302), which was lost at the Battle of Wolf 359, and placed under the command of Captain Morgan Korsmo. Commander Elizabeth Shelby also came aboard the Chekov as first officer.

Near the end of the year, the Chekov and the USS Repulse were called to assist the USS Enterprise-D after they had chased a Preserver planet-killer, that had been commandeered by Delcara, into Tholian territory. During the battle to try and stop the planet-killer, the Chekov was destroyed, but fortunately the bulk of the crew survived. (TNG novel: Vendetta).
