USS Tvashtar (NCC-17601)

The USS Tvashtar (NCC-17601) was an Everest-class cutter operated by the Federation Starfleet in the mid-24th century.

The Tvashtar was named for an active volcano on the moon of Io in the Sol system, itself named for the Hindu god of blacksmiths. The volcano was significant for having been photographed by an early 21st-century Earth robotic probe, which imaged a 330 kilometer tall plume during a flyby.
