USS McCoy (NCC-91270)

The USS McCoy was a Federation starship, a science vessel/medical frigate in Starfleet's medical service in the 2400s decade. 


 * The ship may be named after the 23rd century physician doctor Leonard McCoy, who was the chief medical officer aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) and the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A).

History
In the year 2409, the ship was part of the Starfleet force assigned to protect Starbase 24 from an attacking Klingon fleet. When the starbase was evacuated, a number of scientists from the base were transferred to the McCoy for safe transport out of the system. 

In the same year, the McCoy was succeeded in name by the USS McCoy (NX-95600), a much larger deep space science vessel.
