No history or fate was established for this vessel; its name was randomly selected for an Apollo-class vessel by the game software.
A USS T'Pau, playable in the Star Trek: The Original Series era of the game, is registered (NCC-1938). Because this ship is available from that time until the Star Trek: The Next Generation era, it is speculated that these vessels are one and the same, refitted to a new specification and given the registry (NSP-17938). There is however, a Vulcan ship of the same name, which may conflict with this supposition.
