The USS New Zealand (NCC-1753) was a Federation starship, an Excelsior-class cruiser in Starfleet service in the 23rd and 24th century.
Service history and disposition[]
During an era of militaristic tension, New Zealand was initially equipped as a battlecruiser (BCJ in the New Jersey-subclass) in the 2280s and/or 2290s decades. (ST video games: Starfleet Command, Starfleet Command II: Empires at War, Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates)
By the 24th century, New Zealand had been modified for service as a fleet cruiser, in active service around the year 2378. (ST video game: Starfleet Command III)
- No specific history or definitive final fate was established for this vessel as its name was randomly selected for a battlecruiser by the SFC games' software, and is placed randomly each time the ship appears.
