Changes: USS Gandhi

Revision as of 19:48, 4 July 2015

The USS Gandhi was a 24th century Federation starship operated by Starfleet.

In 2369, Gandhi was assigned to the Lagana sector on a terraforming mission. Thomas Riker was transferred to the Gandhi in that year following his rescue from Nervala IV. (TNG: "Second Chances")

Riker later began to express certain "political opinions" that supported the Maquis and their goals while serving aboard the Gandhi. He later deserted the ship to join them in 2371. (DS9: "Defiant")

According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia, (3rd ed., p. 168) the Gandhi was named for Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the respected Indian leader who pioneered the principles of non-violent resistance. The Encyclopedia further elaborated that the Gandhi was an Ambassador-class ship, with the registry NCC-26632.

The Gandhi was stated as being a Galaxy-class starship in John Vornholt's Double Helix novel Quarantine.
