Ship Star Trek: Lower Decks NCC-12101 · 2380

USS Solvang (NCC-12101)

California-class ship destroyed by the Pakleds

A California-class Starfleet ship under Captain Dayton that is caught and torn apart by a Pakled clumpship in 2380, the first sign that the Pakleds have become a serious threat.

The USS Solvang is a sister ship of the Cerritos in Star Trek: Lower Decks, named after a town in California. She appears in the first-season finale No Small Parts. Her captain is Dayton, who had lost her previous ship, the Rubidoux, and is delighted with her new command.
In 2380 the Solvang is seized by a huge Pakled vessel assembled from the parts of many other ships. Dayton orders a jump to warp while a grappler still has hold of a nacelle. The nacelle is ripped away and the ship is destroyed with all hands.
The Cerritos arrives soon afterwards and is nearly cut to pieces in the same way, with the Pakleds meaning to add her to their ship. Her survival costs the life of Lieutenant Shaxs and needs the arrival of the USS Titan under Captain Riker.
