USS Rome (NCC-2726)

The USS Rome (NCC-2726) was a Loknar-class starship in service during the late 23rd century.

Service History
In 2274, the Rome, along with the starships USS Kongo and the USS Halk, responded to a distress call from a Federation outpost in the Orion Sector only to be engaged by six Klingon D18-class ships. The Rome and the Halk were summarily destroyed. (FASA RPG: Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update).
 * The timeline in the Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update claims the Kongo was destroyed as well when it engaged the Klingons. Unless another starship were assigned the name, the Kongo wouldn't have been able to participate in the novel Shell Game or in Operation: Retrieve.
 * This ship was named for the Earth city of the same name.
