USS Raan (NCC-2519)

The USS Raan (NCC-2519) was a strike cruiser on active duty in Star Fleet during the late 23rd century. She was commissioned on Stardate 8621.37, after being laid down at the Cameron Naval Facility at Deneb V on Stardate 8511.72, and launched on Stardate 8588.45. The Denebian name of the construction team was displayed on the primary hull, in recognition by Starfleet that this ship was delivered with the fewest trial deficiencies of any ship in it's class.

Along with the USS, the Raan was equipped with Ikeda LN-68 series warp units when assigned to TacFleet.

Home ported at Starbase 7, the Raan carried out classified operations between 28 January and 4 May 2289. In port between 23 May to 18 June for data downloading and systems rejuvenation, the Rann then carried out a TacFleet training cruise between30 June and 19 August. After a port visit to Ophiuchus Colony from 27 to 30 August, the Raan assisted the USS in transfering Klingon prisoners to Starbase 23 during September. Returning to Starbase 7 on 12 October, the Raan was placed on Selected Restricted Availability until mid December.(, vol. 1 [revised])
