This class measures 642 meters in length and normally crews one thousand twelve (including civilian family members). This class currently includes the starships Challenger, Galaxy, Excalibur-A, Venture and Trinculo. Other ships of this class have included the Yamato-E, Enterprise-D, Odyssey, Venture, Oraidhe, and Mukaikubo. ("Encounter at Farpoint" [TNG #1&2]). The first Galaxy-class vessel shown was the U.S.S.

While exploring the edge of the magnetic storm, the Galileo became trapped in an enrgy field and was shot towards the center of the effect, crash landing on Taurus II. Crewmembers Gaetano and Latimer were killed by creatures there before Spock, McCoy, Scott, Mears and Boma were able to lift the craft off and escape to the atmosphere. They were beamed off the shuttle by the Enterprise just before it burned up on reentry, after Spock set off the ships fuel as a flare. ("The Galileo Seven" [TOS]). The Galileo shuttlecraft was built by AMT models, who funded the contruction in exchange for the rights to merchandise the design. The shuttle miniature and full-scale mockup were later reused as another Galileo, the Galileo II and the shuttle Columbus. One discrepancy between the full size mockup and the interior set was that the set had head-room for standing up, the model did not. "The Menagerie" [TOS] revealed this craft is known as a Class F administrative shuttle.
Galileo.: Shuttlecraft 7 aboard the starship Enterprise in 2266, registry number NCC-1701/7.

It was later revealed the historian Alexander Lazarus had used the planet as a test ground for a machine known as the Psi-Clone, which could replicate the personalities of historical figures and place them in artificial bodies.

James Kirk recalled Garrovick as one of the finest officers he had ever served under, and credits him for taking the young Kirk under his wing.

Garrovick, Thomas.: The son of former Farragut captain Garrovick. Tom Garrovick serves as a Starfleet security officer. In 2268 on his first space assignment, Ensign Garrovick found hemself serving under his father's protegé, James Kirk aboard the Enterprise.

It is near the border of Romulan space, though far enough away to remain mostly unnoticed, and has no resources or tactical value, except for the Guardian.

("City on the Edge of Forever" [TOS #28]; "Yesterday's Son" [Pocket TOS #11]; "First Frontier" [Pocket TOS #75]).
Gauvreau, Anne.: Retired Starfleet commander, owner and operator of the freighter S.S. Ian Shelton.

Geronimo, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Akira-class heavy cruiser, Starfleet registry NCC-69302. Before construction was authorized, this vessel was assigned to be built as NCC-62501, it was later reappropriated and the registry became NCC-69302. Commanded by Captain Gregory MacCray, the Geronimo was on station at Starbase 12 for combat simulations. The Geronimo was destroyed in battle with Cardassian forces in the Chin'toka system in 2374. ("Bridge Commander" [Activision]; The Price of Freedom [LUG RPG Sourcebook]; Recognition Manual: Ships of Starfleet [LUG RPG Sourcebook]; Starships [Decipher RPG Sourcebook]). Oddly enough, this ship is listed in the registers of three different gaming licensees, who apparently cross-pollinated each other's reference. The Last Unicorn RPG lists no registry, the Decipher RPG references lists the Geronimo NCC-62501 as having been recently destroyed, however, the more relevant Activision material lists the registry NCC-69302. The games material lists this and many other American Indian referenced names, apparently misrecognizing two other ships, the Akira and Thunderchild, which are named not after Amerindian subjects, but after sci-fi/fantasy films.

Ghondr, U.S.S.: Federation starship proposed during the 23rd century. This vessel's construction was cancelled, and it's registry was assigned to another vessel. (Technical Manual [Franz Joseph TOS]; Ships of the Star Fleet [Mastercom]). It's possible ships of these names were still built, of different classes and registry numbers. If built, this ship would have been Achernar-class, with the registry NCC-1749, according to the manuals.
Gia.: ("Thine Own Self" [TNG]). Played by Kimberly Cullum.
Gibson, Serena.: Ensign who sometimes manned the conn on the starship Enterprise-D. ("The Dauphin" [TNG]; "Metamorphosis" [Pocket TNG Giant #1]). Played by Jennifer Barlow. Gibson's first name is not from filmed material, but from her novel appearance.

Glissa.: Tellarite construction engineer. ("Prime Directive" [Pocket TOS HC]).
glommer.: Genetically modified Klingon animal, a small quadriped creature designed to feed on live tribbles. The Klingons supposedly found the glommers on the homeword of the tribbles, and introduced them into environments that had been infested with the furry creatures, in order to control (or eliminate) their populations. ("More Tribbles, More Troubles" [TAS]).
