The USS Charleston (NCC-2004 or NCC-1802) was a Federation starship, an Excelsior-class cruiser vessel in service to Starfleet in the late 23rd and early 24th centuries.

Service history and disposition[]

Charleston was initially equipped as a standard battlecruiser (BCE) with registry NCC-2004.

This vessel had the capability of being modified for service as a guided weapon battlecruiser (BCG in the Kirov-subclass). In the refit configuration, Charleston carried the registry NCC-1802. (ST video games: Starfleet Command, Starfleet Command II: Empires at War, Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates)

No history or definitive fate is established for this vessel as its name was randomly selected for a battlecruiser by the SFC game software.

The Charleston was displaced by an unstable wormhole to space held by the Romulan Star Empire in the year 2293. She managed a return journey to the Federation.

In the Tomed Incident of 2311, the Charleston was destroyed by the Romulans' bird-of-prey Suran. (Decipher RPG module: Starships)

This ship was succeeded in name by a second Excelsior-class starship named USS Charleston. (ST reference: The Star Trek Encyclopedia)
