USS Buran (NCC-08) was a Columbia-class explorer in Federation Starfleet service during the 22nd century. Buran was the first of the new-build Columbias after the retrofit of Enterprise in 2156 and Endeavour. (Rise of the Federation novel Live by the Code)

The registry wasn't specified in the novel, but in the author Christopher L. Bennett's annotations.

Nomenclature[]

The ship was named after Buran, the Soviet/Russian spaceplane program of the late 20th century, and the first vessel of the program. Buran is "snowstorm" or "blizzard" in Russian.
