The USS Rhode Island (NCC-72701) was a variant Nova-class Federation starship in service during the late 24th and early 25th century.
In an alternate timeline, the Rhode Island was commanded by Captain Harry Kim, and assigned to a four-year exploration mission. In 2404, the Rhode Island defended Admiral Janeway's shuttlecraft when it came under attack by two Klingon Negh'Var-type warships. (VOY: "Endgame")
[edit] Background
The Rhode Island was created by Robert Bonchune of Foundation Imaging from the existing modification of the USS Equinox. His modifications included a different bridge dome and the filling in of the gap in front of the primary hull's deflector dish. The engine nacelles and escape pods were also altered.
The Rhode Island may be named after the state of Rhode Island or any one of several the US battleships which have borne the name.
