A Merced class starship relates to a Federation ship from the sci-fi series Star Trek.
Merced class starships:
U.S.S. Trieste - registry number NCC-37124
The Trieste was stationed near Starbase 74 and was unable to render assistance when the Enterprise-D was hijacked by the Bynars in 2364. The Trieste was some 66 hours away at the time.
Data served aboard the Trieste prior to his assignment to the Enterprise-D. During Data's tour of duty on the Trieste, the ship once fell through a wormhole.
It is a growing city and a center for tourism and farm trade in a cotton, fruit, and dairy region.
Merced has a large concentration of Hmong immigrants.
Years of freighting and mining had followed, and, with a stake gleaned from the Merced placers, he satisfied the land-hunger of his race and time by settling in Sonoma County.
