USS Merrimac (NCC-61827)

The USS Merrimac (NCC-61827) was a Federation starship that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-24th century. Commander Rudman was an officer serving aboard the Merrimac in 2369. 

In 2366, the Merrimac was assigned to personnel transport duties; it ferried Ambassador Sarek and his entourage back to Vulcan after the successful conclusion of a treaty on Legara IV. 

In 2367, the Merrimac was on special assignment with the Vulcan Science Academy. 

It later served in Captain Picard's task force to blockade the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War in 2368. It was positioned between the USS Ahwahnee (NCC-71620), USS Hornet, USS Charleston, and USS Tian An Men. Later that year, the Merrimac transported Cadet Wesley Crusher back to Starfleet Academy on Earth. 

In 2369, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) was supposed to rendezvous with the Merrimac, so a rendezvous schedule was transmitted to Cmdr. Rudman.
