USS Thunderchild (NCC-63549)

The USS Thunderchild (NCC-63549) was a Federation starship of the Akira-class in the late 24th century.

In 2373 the Thunderchild fought against the Borg in the Battle of Sector 001. When most of the fleet was down, the few remaining ships left, including the Thunderchild and the USS Enterprise-E, were led by acting fleet commander captain Jean-Luc Picard to take down the Borg cube. (Star Trek: First Contact) After the battle, the Thunderchild went though a major refit and would continue to serve Starfleet throughout the Dominion War.
