The USS Hiraga Gennai was a 31st century Federation starship, a vessel in Starfleet service in the 3060s decade. Its commanding officer was Captain Robert Weems. (DSC episode: "Terra Firma, Part 1")
- The ship may be named for the Human polymath Hiraga GennaiWP.
Service history and disposition[]
In the year 3064, Doctor Issa was in command of the Kelpien research vessel KSF Khi'eth during its mission to investigate a suspected "dilithium nursery" in the Verubin Nebula. Unfortunately, the research vessel crashed on the Class Y planet Theta Zeta inside the nebula. The Kelpien crew issued a Federation distress call, which was picked up by the USS Hiraga Gennai. Captain Weems advised Issa it would take them two weeks at maximum warp to arrive and effect a rescue.
Following the last communication, Doctor Issa considered the Gennai lost, destroyed in the attempt to traverse the nebula's intense radiation storms.
Six months later, in 3064 or 3065, Issa recorded a new distress signal for broadcast on all channels. Her crew remained alive and hopeful for rescue.
Starfleet learned of the fate of its missing ship in the year 3189, when the USS Discovery crew decoded Issa's interference-ridden distress call. (DSC episode: "Terra Firma, Part 1")
There was no sign of the Hiraga Gennai at the nebula when Discovery arrived soon after. (DSC episode: "Su'Kal")
