USS Hood (NCC-42296)

The USS Hood was an Excelsior class Starfleet vessel, registry NCC-42296, in service during the 24th century.

In 2371, the Hood responded to a distress call from the USS Voyager, when that ship suffered a propulsion malfunction during their shakedown cruise. During their rendezvous with the Voyager, both ships detected a Malkus Artifact in possession of the Maquis. Lieutenant Tuvok temporarily transfered to the Hood before infiltrating the Maquis in order to recover the artifact. (novel: The Brave and the Bold, Part 3: The Third Artifact)


 * This account contradicts other novels regarding Tuvok's joining of the Maquis.

In 2374, the Hood participated in the First Battle of Chin'toka. During that engagement, Hood first officer Dina Voyskunsky was killed in action.
