USS James Fennimore Cooper

The USS James Fennimore Cooper (NCC-4077) was a Federation starship that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-24th century. In 2364, this starship was commanded by Benjamin Franklin Pierce.

In that year, prior to stardate 41044.2, this starship had a stay at Starbase 55. During this stay, the Cooper received an order from Captain B.J. Hunnicutt of Starfleet Operational Support Services. According to this order, the ship's captain was to set a course heading of 223 mark 83 for galactic coordinates 002/3845. At these coordinates, the Cooper rendezvoused with the USS Discovery for a transfer of personnel. The captain was ordered to acknowledge this order on subspace com net security mode 45, code 100 alpha.

At the end of that year, Data read this order received by the Cooper and several others to investigate claims of a conspiracy among the highest members of Starfleet Command.
