Ursa Minor is a constellation visible from Earth, named for its characterization as a bear, in contrast to the great bear in the Ursa Major constellation.

The Federation starships named USS Ursa Minor are called as such for this region, the formations contained within and its mythological history. ^{[citation needed]}
