USS Neosho (NCC-74747)

The USS Neosho (NCC-74747) was an Danube-class runabout. It is an auxiliary craft for the USS Baldwin (NCC-2013) and is routinely used as a personal craft by Baldwin captain Richie Kennedy in lieu of a Captain's yacht.

Neosho was the vessel assigned to Richie Kennedy on his mission to salvage the possessions of his late parents, and was the vessel he was on when he found Baldwin adrift in orbit of Aloran IV. (USS Baldwin: "Meet the Baldwin")

Neosho was used by Richie on occasions when Richie was goaded to personally go head to head with Khan. Khan has done so three times, in "The Return of Khan", "Storm Front", and "Evolution". Richie has also implemented a phasing cloak on occasion, most notably by phasing and unphasing Neosho so that Khan literally was backed against Neosho's hull. ("Storm Front").

On Stardate 52201, the Neosho was used by Richie to shuttle him to Starbase 375 for a debrifing. Neosho came under attack by Dominion forces and was forced to crash-land on a nearby Class-M planet. (The runabout was salvaged) ("Healing Link")
