The USS Aerfen was a Federation starship in service in the mid 23rd century, commanded by Captain Hunter. The Aerfen was painted in the colors of a phoenix eagle.
In the 2240s and 2250s, the Aerfen was part of a task force assigned to protect Federation colony worlds along the Klingon Neutral Zone. One of its many ports of call was Ganjitsu, where a young Hikaru Sulu snuck aboard the vessel in attempt to sign up, before getting a guided tour from the captain.
In 2264, Sulu was expecting to be assigned to the Aerfen, before being transferred to the USS Enterprise. (TOS novels: Enterprise: The First Adventure, The Entropy Effect)
- The Aerfen gained her name from an Earth goddess.
