The USS Mekong was a Danube-class Federation starship assigned to Deep Space 9 as a replacement for the USS Ganges.
In 2370, Mekong, the USS Rio Grande and the USS Orinoco, fought two Maquis ships at the Bryma colony. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part II")
In late-2370, Mekong was fitted with additional photon torpedoes and accompanied the USS Odyssey into the Gamma Quadrant in an attempt to rescue Commander Benjamin Sisko, then a prisoner of the Dominion. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar")
In late-2371, Odo and Elim Garak took Mekong to the Unefra system in search of Enabran Tain. They located him, but were subsequently captured by the warbird commanded by Lovok and Tain, and sequestered in the warbird's shuttlebay on "E" Deck, Section 25. The runabout was then carried into the Gamma Quadrant. Mekong was destroyed attempting to escape the Battle of the Omarion Nebula. (DS9: "The Die is Cast")
- The Star Trek Encyclopedia lists two registries for this runabout: NCC-72617 and NCC-72917. The registry is seen briefly, yet not clearly, in "Whispers".
