USS Al-Batani (proposed)

For other uses, see USS Al-Batani.

The USS Al-Batani was a proposed Federation starship, ordered for possible construction and Starfleet service at some point after the mid-2340s decade.

History and disposition[]

Construction of Al-Batani was authorized by Starfleet for appropriation sometime in or after the year 2346. This starship was proposed to be named after the astronomer and mathematician Muḥammad ibn Jābir al-Ḥarrānī al-Battānī^WP.

Possible classes[]

The initial proposal to assign this name to a vessel could be applied to a Federation transport, Federation colony ship, Federation construction ship, Miranda-class cruiser or Oberth-class science vessel. The name might also have ended up being optioned for a Galaxy-class or Sovereign-class explorer, a Defiant-class escort or an Intrepid-class cruiser.

There were two options that had been initially put to construction, the Excelsior-class vessels USS Al-Batani (NCC-2003) and USS Al-Batani (NCC-42995). (ST video game: Infinite)

There is a chance in each campaign of Star Trek Infinite for a ship of this name to be spawned of each of the aforementioned classes, assigned randomly. It is also possible for the name to be assigned to multiple different vessels over the course of the same campaign's gameplay.
