USS Arcturus (NCC-1337) was a Baton Rouge-class cruiser on active duty in Starfleet during the early- to mid-23rd century. Hmm,

Pretty dated. I would have liked it a lot better if they had used an actual ship registry number, Gene Roddenberry’s or some actor’s date/month of birth, date of Convergence Day, or even Federation Day. Anything with an actual Star Trek connection.
