USS Tizona (NCC-26156)

The USS Tizona (NCC-26156) was an Ambassador-class starship operated by the Federation Starfleet in the mid-24th century. In mid-2339, it was assigned to patrol the border with the Cardassian Union but by stardate 16508.2, it was still en route to its patrol station.

The Tizona was commanded by Rigelian Jemer Prikor, who was one of several Rigelian starship captains Starfleet had been training in anticipation of the Gorn diplomatic challenge, though the Gorn ultimately required non-Rigelian starship captain Rye-jae Maddox as the Federation representative. But as a result, the Tizona was stationed near Gorn space in the latter end of 2339.
