The USS Quimby was a Science-class vessel active in the 25th century. It was destroyed by the Kaylon in the course of their attempted invasion of Earth in early 2422.
History[]
The Quimby was a Science-class vessel in the Planetary Union. It held 300 crewmembers. Officers on board the Quimby included junior astrometrics officer Amanda and Ensign Charly Burke.[1]
The Quimby was called to Earth in February 2422 to defend it against the Kaylon in the Battle of Earth. The Quimby took heavy damage during the battle. Amanda and Charly attempted to perform an emergency reset of the navigational Computer when orders were made to abandon ship. The Quimby was destroyed shortly thereafter.[1]
Production[]
The Quimby was originally reported destroyed in the episode Identity, Pt. 2. During Season 2, digital effects supervisor Brandon Fayette insisted the destruction of the Quimby could be seen in the battle, but because all of the Union ships lack names written on their hulls (apart from the USS Orville), identification of the Quimby was impossible.[2]
