A California-class Starfleet ship under Captain Dayton that falls silent in 2380 and is found by the Cerritos with a vast spaceborne life form growing through its hull, in Much Ado About Boimler.
The USS Rubidoux is a California-class starship in Star Trek: Lower Decks, named after a community in California. She features in the first-season episode Much Ado About Boimler.
In 2380 the Rubidoux stops answering hails. The Cerritos, temporarily under Captain Amina Ramsey, an old Academy friend of Mariner's, is sent to investigate and finds the ship dark and apparently abandoned. The boarding party discovers Captain Dayton and her crew in hiding, and learns that an energy-feeding creature has been growing inside the ship's structure.
When power is restored the creature swells and bursts out of the hull, pulling the Rubidoux apart as it takes shape and drifts away. The crew are saved. Dayton goes on to command the Solvang, which meets a worse end in No Small Parts.
