USS Reliant-A

The USS Reliant (NCC-1864-A) is a successor to the original Miranda-class Reliant. The new design features an Ambassador-class saucer, a Miranda-class aft end, and a pair of Hindenburg-class nacelles. The Reliant-A will be flown by Captain Pavel Chekov, who served as First Officer aboard the original ship. The decision to promote Chekov came after Captain Terrell's suicide in The Wrath of Khan.
