The USS Zimmerman (NCC-1616) was a Federation starship, a Helios-class tug in Starfleet service in the 2250s decade. (DSC episode: "Brother", ST reference: The Official Starships Collection, Discovery issue 27)
Service history[]
The Zimmerman and other tugs of its type were active by 2257. In that year, the Zimmerman and another tug rendezvoused with the USS Enterprise under Captain Christopher Pike. (DSC episode: "Brother") Following its one-year mission to the Pergamum Nebula, the Enterprise and its systems suffered a widespread breakdown. (DSC novel: The Enterprise War) The Zimmerman and its fellow tug held the crippled Enterprise in their tractor beams, while Captain Pike transferred on the USS Discovery, also on site. (DSC episode: "Brother")
While this ship type was still active in the late 24th century,[1] a Nebula-class science vessel had succeeded the Zimmerman in name[2] by 2376. (Short Treks episode: "Children of Mars", ST video game: Armada)
