The USS Nebula was the prototype Nebula-class explorer in service to the Federation Starfleet in the late 24th century.
Service History[]
The Nebula was launched in 2357, as the first vessel of the Nebula class. (Decipher RPG module: Starfleet Operations Manual)
At some point prior to 2371, the Nebula rendezvoused with the USS Enterprise-D. (Star Trek: The Next Generation: Build the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D Issue : "5")
In the 2370s, the Nebula was assigned to Sector 001 as a test vessel for various pod configurations for the Nebula-class. (Decipher RPG module: Starships)
- Various sources have assigned different registry numbers to the Nebula. The Decipher RPG module: Starships gives the registry as NX-60602, while an article in the Star Trek: Communicator magazine has various images of the Nebula with both NCC-60147 and NCC-60000 being applied in different images. Star Trek: The Next Generation: Build the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D uses NCC-60147.
