Background information
The name of the Thunderchild and its designation as an Akira-class vessel were taken from production sources such as the second edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia. One image of the Thunderchild sketched in the Encyclopedia mislabeled the ship's registry as "NCC-83549".
Alex Jaeger, who designed the ship's exterior, explained, "The name Thunderchild was given to me by production and is named after the warship in H.G. Wells '[The] War of the Worlds'." [1](X) In that novel, HMS Thunder Child (two words, not one) diverted Martian fire away from transport ships evacuating civilians out of London. Tragically, HMS Thunder Child was destroyed, with all hands lost, but was able to destroy two of the Martian Tripods.
Apocrypha
The Thunderchild was mentioned in the Pocket DS9 Millennium novel The Fall of Terok Nor, when it docked at Deep Space 9. In the Pocket TNG novel Rogue, part of the Section 31 series, the Thunderchild contacted the USS Enterprise-E.
The role-playing game supplements Starships (from Decipher) and The Price of Freedom (from Last Unicorn Games) both described the Thunderchild among the lists of Akira-class starships.
The Thunderchild made an appearance in the Peter David novel, Before Dishonor. It was the first vessel to make contact with a sentient Borg cube en route to assimilate Earth. The vessel became the victim of "absorption", the cube's method of assimilation, and was later destroyed by the planet killer. According to the novel, the captain of the ship at the time, as well as during the Battle of Sector 001, was named Matsuda.
