STARSHIP
USS Tikopai
Class:	Constitution-class (Tikopai-subclass)
Registry:	NCC-1800
Affiliation:	Federation Starfleet
Status:	authorized

The USS Tikopai (NCC-1800) was a Constitution-class Federation heavy cruiser starship, prototype of the Tikopai-subclass, ordered by Starfleet in the 23rd century, named for the star Tikopai.

Construction of Tikopai was authorized by the Starfleet appropriation of stardate 5930. (TOS reference: Star Fleet Technical Manual)

The stardate given would seem to suggest this ship was ordered during the TAS era, however this date is fairly uncertain since FASA's The Four Years War records Achernar-class vessels were in service during the 2250s war with the Klingons.
