USS Cochrane

The USS Cochrane (NCC-30184) was an Excelsior class starship commanded by Vice Admiral Black from 2341 to 2344. The Cochrane was named after Zefram Cochrane, the inventor of the warp enginge.

Service Record
Due to the fact that it was being controlled by a member of a secret society named the Brotherhood of the Aryan Race, the Cochrane was placed in charge of several missions of questionable legality and or morality.

Destruction
In 2344, Admiral Black was placed on temporary probation due to one of his actions being discovered by the Federation President. To get himself back into the good graces of the President, Black and the Cochrane were given the "honor" of taking a group of Starfleet Academy students on a field tour. During the tour, the Cochrane was attacked by Romulans. The Cochrane was critically damaged; those of the crew and students who survived were rescued by the USS Admonitor and the Enterprise-C.
