The USS Ranger was a Federation starship in service to Starfleet in the 23rd century.

While exploring the Janus Vortex alongside of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A), under Pavel Chekov, the Ranger became trapped in the unstable region and was at risk of being destroyed. Sending out a distress call, they were rescued by the crew of the USS Excelsior (NCC-2000).
