USS Melbourne (NCC-71944)
An old dame with a long and storied career, some would say ships like Melbourne are long past their prime. But to her crew, hashed-together at the last minute though it may be, there's nowhere else they'd rather be.
USS Melbourne
Nebula-class • NCC-71944 • Task Force 47 • Managed by LCDR Charlotte MacColgan

Sometimes all you need is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.
