USS Cairo with USS Enterprise-D in 2369.

The USS Cairo (NCC-42136) was an Excelsior-class Federation starship in service in the 24th century.

In 2369, it was under the command of Captain Edward Jellico, who was temporarily transferred to command the USS Enterprise-D for a special diplomatic mission to the Cardassian border. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part I") The Cairo was deployed to defend the Federation system Minos Korva when it was threatened by a potential Cardassian attack. Following the peaceful conclusion of the crisis, Captain Jellico returned to his command on the Cairo. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part II")

The footage of the Cairo was stock from the USS Hood's appearance in TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint."

The same year, the Cairo transported Admiral Nechayev to the Enterprise after it was feared the Cardassians were developing metagenic weapons. (TNG: "Preemptive Strike")

During the Dominion War, the Cairo was commanded by Captain Leslie Wong, and assigned to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone. The ship was believed to have been ambushed by Dominion forces who had crossed Romulan space. (DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight")
