U.S.S. Cairo NCC-42136

In 2369 the Excelsior-class U.S.S. Cairo NCC-42136, commanded by Captain Edward Jellico, transported Vice Admiral Nechayev to a rendezvous with the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D when it was feared that the Cardassians were developing a metagenic weapon.^[1] In 2374, the Cairo, now under the command of Captain Leslie Wong, was lost and presumed destroyed by Dominion forces while on patrol near the Romulan Neutral Zone.^[2] Named for the capitol city of Egypt on Earth.
