The USS Greyhound was a 22nd century Castor-class Federation starship.
Service history
On reference stardate 1/24, the Greyhound encountered an extra-galactic probe in Sector 24 that originated from the Small Magellanic Cloud. After bringing it aboard, Doctor William Pomeroy studied the probe extensively, but it had become inert and its exterior was impenetrable. (ST reference: Spaceflight Chronology)
Legacy
Grayhound's encounter was the Federation's first evidence of a civilization from outside the Milky Way Galaxy. (FASA RPG module: The Federation)
In the year 2364, the location of the Greyhound encounter was labeled in a star chart. This chart was stored in the USS Enterprise-D library computer. Later that year, the chart was scanned by Portal 63, the last remnant of the Tkon Empire. (TNG episodes: "The Naked Now", "The Last Outpost")
